Salt air pushes at your face as the van pulls onto sand — a narrow strip where Atlantic sets roll toward a row of small fishing boats and sun-creased surfers. The coach scans the break, then points: today’s lesson will ride the foamy whitewash until you can pop to your feet and steer.
Difficulty

Wildlife
History
Coastal Berber fishing communities have occupied these coves for centuries; modern surf tourism expanded here in the late 20th century as riders discovered consistent Atlantic swell.
Conservation
The coastline is sensitive to litter and reef damage — choose reef-safe sunscreen, avoid standing on reefs, and support operators who run beach cleanups.

Arrive well-hydrated
Bring a full water bottle and drink before and after the lesson — sessions can be physically demanding with repeated paddling and pop-ups.
Check tide and wind
Morning sessions usually offer cleaner, smaller waves for beginners; ask the operator about ideal timing for your level.
Wear reef-safe sunscreen
Use mineral-based sunscreen to protect skin and the coastal environment; reapply between sets.
Feet-first entry practice
Practice entering waves and falling feet-first to avoid board impact and to protect shallow reefs.
Wetsuit
Keeps you warm and reduces chafing in Atlantic water temperatures.
Rash guard
Protects skin from board friction and sun exposure during repetition drills.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated between sets aids recovery and prevents cramps.
Board shorts or swimwear
Comfortable, quick-drying layers under the wetsuit or for warm days; boards are provided by the operator.
