Surf Berbere Taghazout Surf Camp |
Superb waterfront apartments with 180 degree panaromic views of the atlantic swells coming in.
We have four brand new, basic apartments right on the waterfront @ Hash Point. For each level there is one double bedroom, one bunk room and a basic kitchen/living room and bathroom. The flats sleep maximum 6 people. They all have satellite TV and the wifi reaches all but the bottom flat.
Most of the meals happen on the roof terrace and the main living area is in the top flat where there is the flat screen tv and all the dvds. Every morning you will wake up to 180 degree views of an azur blue ocean peppered with hundreds of tiny fishing boats.
If you do want to have the infinity pool and luxury apartment then please ask, these apartments are down the road. However, most of the clients stay at the Hash Point apartments, who needs a swimming pool when you have the ocean within spitting distance of your front door !
FOOD
You will be served breakfast and dinner at the surfcamp’s roof terrace. Lunch will be either barbeque or sandwiches will be served at the surf designation chosen for that day on the stretch of coast between Agadir and Essouira.
The Moroccan cooks have all worked in the Agadir Hotels as well as the local cafes of Taghazout. If you like authentic Moroccan cuisine then it just doesn’t get any better than what these guys prepare! If you are worried that you won’t like Moroccan food then fear not as Youssef is a master of the omelette and pizza
too.
Please let us know if you have any specific dietary requirements and we will do our utmost to accommodate your requirements.
SURF EQUIPMENT AND LESSONS
All your surfing needs are catered for. The surf equipment is mostly included in the price , including board hire, wetsuit hire and surf instruction lessons. At all times there will be two locally trained surf instructors in the water with you. These guys have been surfing these waves their whole lives. Essentially you can’t beat local knowledge when it comes to hunting down the perfect waves in parts of Morocco that no guide book will ever find.
SURFING SAFARI
Their 4×4’s driven by the experienced Moroccan instructors can take you to deserted waves, beautiful long rides, that no other tourist will ever hope to find.
There are some areas that only a seriously heavy off roader can get to, which means that only a select few people even know about these spots. This is where the local knowledge comes in handy. We can all read the stormrider guide, and quite often we can even spot the waves that we want to ride.
Their local instructors have been surfing, even competing on these waves their whole lives they know all the “secret” spots that the guide books will never be able to write about, and more importantly they know the spots that will be going off! |

Description |
SURF BERBERE
The Surf Berbere surf camp is located in the sleepy fishing village of Taghazout, overlooking Hash Point, approximately 20km from Agadir. Hash Point is one of three famous point breaks Taghazout has to offer, and it’s right on your doorstep! Within five yards of the front door is the rock off point, you literally can not get any closer to the water if you tried. Anchor point and Killer point are a five and ten minute walk up the road.
From the Taghazout Hash point apartments, you have unrivalled views of the Atlantic ocean. Life is tough!
SURF SPOTS
They are blessed with some of the most perfect right hand breaks the world has to offer. The apartments sit on Hash Point, an easy right-hander for surfers new to rocky breaks. You can see over to Anchor point the “Holy Grail” of long curling right breaks. On a good day folks have ridden this wave almost to the door of their apartments.
There are the easy beach breaks of Roches Diables and Panorama. But the real die-hards will be ready to take on the twenty minute paddle out to contend with the fast barrelling Killers! There are so many point breaks, beach breaks and secret spots in that short stretch of coast that every surfer will find a wave that is perfect for their level of surfing.
Hash Point
Right on our doorstep! This fast right-hander works well with a medium to large swell when the sand lines up well off the rocks. This is a favourite with the locals who run down after school to hit the line up. The roof terrace offers superb viewing for this fun little spot. If you catch a good one you end up on the Taghazout village beach where you can wander up and enjoy a freshly squeezed orange juice in Café Sonia.
Panoramas
A nice beach break often overlooked, but producing some good barrels and less crowded than some other breaks. When there is a huge swell rolling in, the sheltered breach break is a safe place for beginners to learn. There is a right hander point break at the end (again you can see it from the roof terrace at Surf Berbere).
Devil’s Rock
Situated south of a small rocky headland and just five minutes drive from the Hash Point surf camp, this hollow right hander breaks towards Banana Beach. Great for starters offering punchy lefts and rights with a mainly sandy bottom. It is there that they run the surf school with Immourane Surf Club for all the local kids. They also have a great café that will prepare you a feast. Try the fish kebabs – awesome fleshy fish with a plate of chips.
Banana Beach
A long right hander breaks from this small beach, often sheltered from the Northerly winds; it provides an all level wave more consist at low tide. When you have finished up on this wave you are a hundred yards away from Banana village. This little town is famous for its tajines (sometimes with bananas chucked in for good measure).
The KM’s
North of Agadir are several spots given their names in km’s by the distance they are from the city. The breaks of 11 and 12 have fast and tubular rides on the low tide, with a softer break at 12 however dotted with a few boulders in the shore break. Often popular with body boarders due to the quick break. You have to share these breaks with a Saudi Prince and the King of Morocco; both have their palaces just next door.
Anchor Point
First surfed by Australians in the 1960’s, this world class break lights up when a medium to large NW swell is present. An endless succession of speed walls and cutback hooks present themselves with a more sandy section down the point offering occasional green rooms. Working well on all tides, it also can give the opportunity to ride back into Taghazout when it is huge.
On the really big days, you can watch the guys take off at Anchors, get off and drift in front of the Hash Point apartments, attempt another massive take off and speed you way past Panoramas. If the point gets busy there is plenty of room to spread out down the sections and enjoy this fine break.
Mysteries
This beach break combines with a shallow reef section to provide a deceptively long wave with barrels. The right hand section provides a nice ride especially on the incoming high tide, with a larger back section working well on a NW swell. Just be careful that you don’t get sucked down into this beast as it rears up over the reef.
La Source
Fresh water springs bubble up from the onshore rock formations forming ‘the Well’ providing performance walls and a high lifting A-frame perfect for all levels of surfing abilities. On the push on a small swell the right handers hold up towards the cliffs while the rarer lefts break out towards the beach section. Small reef sections combining with sandy sections provide a clean wave mostly.
Killer Point
Renowned point break named after the visiting pod of Killer Whales occasionally. This is probably the most consistent of the point breaks in Taghazout. At low tide on small swells, the peak in front of the cliff provides a short left and a sectioning right. As the swell picks up, vertical walls rumble down the point providing barrels and hard sections. On high tide, the inside section fires up as it is sheltered from the Northerly winds. Always bigger than it looks from the cliffs this is a great break. At low tide you can avoid the long paddle out if you scamper round under the cliffs and rock off. Definitely better than using up your energy paddling out.
All of the breaks so far are within walking distance from the Hash Point apartments.
The luxury Killer apartments look out to Mysteries, La Source and Killer Point.
Draculas
Vampire teeth shaped rocks give the name to this big swell handler. A fast right hander pushes some punchy often large sets definitely not for the faint hearted. Known as Boilers evil twin!
Boilers
If it’s big you want then big is what you will get. Winds funnelling from the mountains offer large vertical lips and speed walls, and this powerful right hander washes onto a strong shallow reef. If not with the surf berbere guides, this is a lot easier if you have a buddy ready to tell you when to rock off behind the ship wreck, looking on from the shore. Get ready to scamper across the reef on your way out before the next set hits. Often visited by pro photographers for the intensity of pictures available, awesome spot!
X Spot
A series of consistent reef breaks northwards, often lifting up some serious waves when the wind conditions favour. This is known to the locals as a secret break, the journey from the cliffs makes this section a rewarding wave, not to mention the fact that no one else will be surfing it with you. This is surely the reason to head to North Africa for your surf trip.
Tamri
This ultra consistent beach break is the place to go when Taghazout is flat. Quick back sections pay privilege to an even more constant beach push, strong currents at times but a fun ride all the same. For beginners just be aware how far you have drifted down the coast. The lush estuary is home to camels and flamingos, a truly wonderful spot.
Imssouane
This highly consistent right hander offers one of the longest rides in the region.
Firstly, the most Northern point Cathedrals, a quick wave rising on the reef breaking right into a good sand bank section with several defined peaks.
The harbour side offers a break from the pier to the beach of over a few hundred metres. This long mellow right keeps wrapping into the well protected south facing bay. If you don’t like paddling out, this is the place for you.
You walk out to the wave from the port and then you jump on jump off this wave till the end of the bay (like a London bus) and then all you have to do is walk round to the start again. If you head up to Immesouane be sure to pop into Momo’s surf shack. He’ll sort you out with a nice mint tea!
