The Future of Surfing in Morocco
What’s Coming Next?
Surfing in Morocco has grown a lot in recent years. What used to be a quiet destination known mostly to adventurous travelers is now attracting surfers from all over the world. With its warm weather, consistent waves, and beautiful coastline, Morocco is becoming a go-to surf destination.
So what can we expect in the coming years? Here are a few trends and predictions about the future of surfing in Morocco.
1. Surf Tourism Will Keep Growing
Each year, more people discover the Moroccan coast. Surfers from Europe especially love visiting during the winter months when Morocco has great waves and sunny days. This trend is likely to continue as more people look for affordable surf holidays with a relaxed vibe. We can expect a rise in surf-friendly travelers, from beginners to families, not just experienced surfers.
2. Surf Camps Will Focus More on Sustainability
More surf camps and surf houses are opening up, especially in places like Taghazout, Tamraght, and Imsouane. But it’s not just about numbers. In the future, guests will look for quality experiences that also respect the environment. Eco-friendly surf camps will become more popular, with things like locally sourced food, solar power, plastic-free kitchens, and small group stays.
Places like Santacruz Surf Camp are already offering cozy surf stays with a strong local and personal touch, and this kind of experience will continue to attract surfers who care about people and the planet.
3. Local Surf Coaches Will Shine
Morocco has a new generation of talented local surfers. Many are becoming certified coaches and opening their own surf schools. This means better coaching and more authentic surf trips, guided by people who grew up on these waves.
In the future, we’ll likely see Moroccan surfers competing at higher levels and sharing their skills with visitors from around the world.
4. Surf Trips Will Include More Cultural Experiences
Travelers are no longer looking for just a place to surf. Many now want to enjoy the full Moroccan lifestyle. Surf holidays will include more cultural elements like traditional cooking classes, music nights, visits to markets, hiking trips, and time with local families.
For example, at Santacruz Surf Camp, guests can surf in the morning, eat home-cooked Moroccan meals, and explore places like Paradise Valley or Agadir Medina in the afternoon. This mix of surf and culture makes the whole trip more meaningful.
5. Digital Nomads Will Stay Longer
With remote work becoming more common, surf towns like Tamraght and Taghazout are attracting digital nomads. These travelers work online during the day and surf during their free time. Fast Wi-Fi, relaxed cafés, and coworking spaces are making it easy for people to stay longer. In the future, we’ll see more surf camps offering long-stay deals and work-friendly environments.
A Final Word
The future of surfing in Morocco looks exciting. With more visitors, better surf education, eco-conscious travel, and a strong local surf culture, Morocco is ready to become one of the world’s top surf destinations.
