Surf spot Agadir

Agadir Plage

Directly on the long city beach, you’ll find Agadir Beach, a sheltered beach break that only really works under the right conditions. When the spot is working, it’s usually during the winter months, when strong northwest swells meet offshore winds from the northeast. This creates mellow left- and right-hand waves that break cleanly over the sandbanks – perfect for relaxed sessions with hardly any crowds.

Overall, the conditions are quite inconsistent, so you’ll need a bit of luck here. For beginners, however, the spot is safe and comfortable thanks to its sandy bottom. Especially practical: after your session, you’re right in the heart of the city and can easily combine surfing with sightseeing, shopping or Moroccan cuisine.

Anza

Just a few kilometres north of Agadir lies Anza, a consistent beach break that shows its best side especially in winter. The spot works most reliably with northwest swells combined with offshore wind from the northeast, producing clean right-hand waves that run over the sandbanks.

Anza is versatile and suitable both for beginners taking a surf course and for advanced surfers looking for relaxed sessions away from the more famous spots. Even when good waves roll in, the line-up here often remains surprisingly empty – a real plus for anyone who wants to surf without stress.

One small downside: the water quality can vary depending on the conditions. If that doesn’t put you off, Anza is an accessible, uncomplicated spot with consistent waves and a relaxed atmosphere.
