Taghazout Morocco
Discover the waves, culture and coastal lifestyle of Taghazout with Chiwash Surf — your local crew on the Atlantic coast of Morocco.

N · Atlantic
Chiwash is a local surf house in Taghazout where travellers become part of the family. Wake up to the smell of mint tea, walk five minutes to world-class waves, and end the day with a rooftop dinner as the sun drops into the Atlantic.
We are surfers, cooks and guides from this coastline. Our promise is simple: honest coaching, authentic Moroccan hospitality and the kind of days you will still talk about years later.
From your very first whitewater ride to confident carving — every session is guided by local instructors who grew up on these waves.
Beginner
Your first wave starts here. Soft boards, safe sand-bottom breaks and patient local instructors — you will stand up and ride on day one.
Intermediate
Take your surfing to the next level. Read the lineup, position yourself better and turn with more confidence on Taghazout’s friendliest points.
Advanced surf guiding
Video analysis, surf-specific drills and local guides who know every take-off zone from Anchor Point to Desert Point. Surf smarter, not just harder.
All levels
From Boiler to Banana Point, we chase the best conditions of the day. 4x4 and boat trips along the coast with a local crew who grew up on these waves.

Why Chiwash
What makes a week at Chiwash different is not one big thing — it is a hundred small ones, done with care.
Know the waves. Know the coast. Our crew grew up surfing Taghazout and reads the conditions like a morning newspaper.
Taghazout beyond the beach — mint tea with neighbours, Friday couscous, the songs of the souk. Real Morocco, shared with you.
More personal attention in the water. We keep groups small so every guest progresses — and every session stays fun.
Everything you need in one place: coaching, boards, a comfortable bed and a rooftop dinner. No logistics, just living.
Friendly local hospitality is our DNA. From the kitchen to the lineup, you are a guest — and by day two, a friend.
Designed around your level, your goals and the swell forecast. Every week at Chiwash is shaped for the people in it.
Fishing boats, cliff-top cafés, banana farms and desert gorges — Taghazout and its surroundings hold a lifetime of Moroccan moments. Here is where we will take you.
World-famous right-hand point break. Long, playful walls that work almost all year.
A beautiful long wave south of Taghazout, perfect for long rides and mala days.
Local beach break right in front of the village — fun peaks, easy energy, sunset sessions.
Pools, palms and mountains — a completely different side of Morocco, 30 minutes inland.
Our home. A former fishing village of blue boats, rooftop cafés and salt-washed streets.
Yoga at sunrise, cooking with our chef, souks and camel rides — add any of these to your week.

Good to know
Not at all. Our beginner lessons start on soft boards in safe, sandy-bottom breaks, and most guests stand up during their first session. Intermediate and advanced coaching is available too, so every level is welcome.
Taghazout works all year. October to April brings the biggest North Atlantic swells and cooler water, while summer offers smaller, ideal conditions for beginners and longboarders.
Our multi-day packages include accommodation, daily breakfast plus packed lunch and dinner (except Thursdays), surf lessons or guiding, boards and wetsuits, and free transfers from Agadir airport or bus station for stays of 4 nights or more. See each package page for the exact list.
Just swimwear, a towel and sunscreen — we provide boards, wetsuits and all surf equipment. Bring an appetite for mint tea and couscous too.
Fly into Agadir Al Massira Airport (AGA). Taghazout is about 45 minutes away, and packages with a minimum 4-night stay include free transfers from the airport or Agadir bus station.
