Winter surfers in Morocco can expect large waves. Greater than the average annual event. On the most ideal days, there is also a substantial offshore breeze.

Expert surfers in the area know this to be true, and it’s a local tip.Therefore, in order to avoid being carried away by the current wave, it is recommended to pack an extra-large surfboard for the winter. If you want to catch the wave of the day, you might need a few more liters.
Get pre-trip Training
There are numerous ways in which this is correct, but it is still a good idea to be in shape before your winter surfing vacation to Morocco. Work out before your vacation by swimming laps, going for a run around the park, or watching a fitness video on YouTube.When planning your trip to Morocco to surf the top waves, keep in mind that any action is preferable to inaction.
Always Carry Some Cash
Foreign surfers visiting Morocco would be surprised to hear that there are some places without an ATM there. The bright side is that the majority of eateries, cafes, and surf stores accept credit cards. That encompasses Surf Maroc as well. However, you can get more money at Agadir Airport. Unless you want to make frequent trips to the Banana Village ATM, you’ll have to figure out a way to avoid doing so.
Be sure to bring additional clothing to combat the chilly nights in Morocco.
When the sun goes down and the desert wind blows, you won’t believe how chilly it gets. Even if snow isn’t anticipated and hypothermia isn’t a concern, it’s still a good idea to bring additional clothing because winter nights can dip below 50°F (10°C).
It’s a good idea to pack electrolytes, pills with charcoal, and antibiotics.
Unfortunately, gastrointestinal issues are a part of the deal in Morocco, just as they are in Indonesia and many coastal communities in South and Central America.These bugs don’t affect everyone. The water and food served at Surf and Friends are completely risk-free. On the other hand, you should probably bring electrolytes, charcoal pills, and antibiotics if you tend to get sick easily when traveling.It is preferable to possess them without really needing them than the other way around.
