Morning light hits the Atlantic as you ride north from Agadir, the air tasting of salt and sun-warmed kelp. In about 30 minutes the coastline opens into a sequence of points and sandbars—Taghazout’s reef and beach breaks—where an instructor waits with a board and a clear plan. You’ll feel the pull of the swell before you even step in: slow, rolling sets that push toward rock and sand, asking you to time your pop-up.
