Pick the line that sounds like you.

• Never surfed. Learn to Surf.

The level guide has the details. Still unsure? Describe your last surf when you send your dates and we'll place you.

A coach teaches. They set one goal per session, watch you surf and correct your technique. Learn to Surf and Intermediate Surf are coached.

A guide doesn't teach. On Surf Guiding weeks a local guide picks the spot from swell, wind and tide, then briefs you on entry, exit, currents and where the peak breaks. The surfing is up to you.

Max 6 surfers per coach on Learn to Surf, 5 on Intermediate Surf and 6 per guide on Surf Guiding. Each level surfs in its own group.

English, French, Arabic and Tamazight. No one on the team teaches in German yet, so German speakers have their lessons in English.

You need to swim and be at ease in water over your head. There's no fitness test.

Yes. If you or your coach think another group fits better, tell us at dinner and you switch the next morning.

Learn to Surf includes 1 filmed session and Intermediate Surf includes 3. You watch the clips with your coach after dinner.

No. The 75-minute classes on the terrace train what surfing asks of your body: hips and shoulders for the pop-up and the paddle, core, balance and breathing. They're included in Surf & Yoga and cost €12 a class on other weeks.

• Learn to Surf. Year-round.
• Intermediate Surf. Best from September to May.
• Surf Guiding. October to April. In summer the points are often flat, so we guide Tamri and the beach breaks, and we tell you before you book.

Month-by-month conditions are on Spots & seasons.

About 17°C in late winter and 22°C in August. Your wetsuit is included.

Your coach picks the spot each morning from swell, wind and tide. When the bay is flat, we drive north to Tamri, which usually has waves. When it's too big for your level, we move to a smaller spot or change the session time.

We don't refund sessions lost to flat or unsafe seas.

From March to June. From July to September the pools run low, so the hike goes to the Tizgui valley instead. It runs on the rest day and costs €30, or €45 with lunch, with 4 people minimum.

Tamraght and Taghazout are small villages where surf travellers are part of daily life. In the villages and in Agadir, covered shoulders and knees draw less attention than beachwear. If something worries you, ask us before you book.

Yes. Prices are per person, so you pay the same whether you come alone or with friends. From the first lesson you surf in a group at your level.

20 guests at most, so every group stays small. The beach is a 5-minute walk.

Breakfast every day, lunch on surf days and dinner 6 nights of 7. Most dishes are vegetarian. Vegan and gluten-free are easy with notice, and we need to know about allergies when you book.

Bring some dirhams. Cafés, shops and taxis in the village mostly take cash.
