BY LEVEL
THE BEST SEASON FOR YOUR LEVEL
Beginners
Any month works, but April to October is the most comfortable: smaller waves, warmer water and gentle beach breaks like Anza, Devil’s Rock and Crocodile Beach. In winter we simply choose the most sheltered beaches.
Intermediate surfers
September to April gives you the most variety: fun points like Panoramas and Hash Point, plus beach breaks on bigger days.
Advanced surfers
November to February is the time for Anchor Point, Killer Point and Boilers, when long-period swells can produce long, powerful right-handers.
GOOD TO KNOW
WEATHER, WATER AND WIND
- Weather: around 300 sunny days a year; winter days are mild (often around 20 °C), summer is warm but rarely extreme on the coast.
- Wetsuit: a 4/3 in winter, a 3/2 in spring and autumn, a 3/2 or shorty in summer – all included in our Surf Camp.
- Wind: mornings are often the cleanest; in summer the wind usually picks up in the afternoon.
- Crowds: the famous points are busiest from December to March; staying in Anza instead of Taghazout helps you avoid the crowds on land.

Around 17 °C in winter and up to 22 °C in late summer. A 4/3 wetsuit in winter and a 3/2 the rest of the year are enough.
