Tamraght Surf Guide

Surfing in Tamraght

Tamraght is what Taghazout used to be. The village sits on a hill above Banana Beach, a long stretch of sand with a forgiving sandbank that handles small to medium swell beautifully — it's where most first-timers in Morocco take their first ride. A short walk along the beach brings you to Banana Point, a softer right-hander than the breaks up the road, and a few minutes further you hit K11 and K12 — two A-frame setups that work cleanly on bigger days. The accommodation is generally cheaper and quieter than Taghazout, which is part of the appeal, and most camps run a daily van north for those wanting to surf the harder points.
