A surfing trip in Morocco, the best known and most beautiful spots where to practice sport also in North Africa, starting from the south of Morocco.
You started doing surf sulle portuguese coasts, you attended a course, your instructor taught you the theory, to do the take off and to cut the wave. You have finally bought your first board and you feel ready to face all the waves from all over the world.
I'm sorry to disappoint you but it isn't. First of all, because each spot is different from the other, but if you have followed a course you should already know this. If you then plan to organize a surf trip to face the ocean I have to give you some advice, look for a local school and take some ocean lesson.
Advice that should apply to every trip. Contact some local and get some tips on the seabed, currents and any obstacles.
One of the closest and cheapest ocean destinations is certainly the Morocco. With a few hours of flight you will be in front of the great blue sea, ready to get acquainted with waves that travel for many kilometers before arriving on the coast. As I told you, contact a local surf school and be accompanied to the best spot for your level.
Here is a list of surf schools on the Moroccan Atlantic coast. Starting from the farthest point, then from the Southern Morocco.
