This five-day surf coaching programme in Tamraght is designed for all skill levels, from absolute beginners taking their first steps on a board to intermediate surfers looking to hone their skills. You do not need any surf experience to join. Groups are organised by skill level and limited to a maximum of seven students per instructor, so you get proper attention and progress at your own pace. Lessons are available in French, English, German, Spanish and Arabic, so you can learn in whichever language you are most comfortable with.

Over the five days, you will master the essential techniques: standing up on the board, catching your first whitewater waves and progressing to green waves. Beyond the physical skills, you will learn to read surf spots and position yourself effectively in the water, gaining a deeper understanding of the ocean's rhythms. The coaching builds steadily, from surf theory and a safety briefing on your first morning to work on take-off and popping up, a theory session with video analysis, and lessons on positioning and wave reading at a new spot. Your final morning brings one last surf session and a photo review, so you can see how far you have come.

You stay with Elhati Surf in the lively village of Tamraght, in Morocco's Souss-Massa region, just a short walk from the beach and local shops. You can choose a standard triple room for up to three guests, a dormitory for up to six if you enjoy a social atmosphere, or a private double room, which solo travellers can book for sole occupancy. Rooms have ensuite bathrooms, air conditioning and Wi-Fi, and each guest has a secure, lockable storage unit. Around the property you will find a large panoramic terrace, a rooftop that is perfect for watching the sunset, a yoga space for post-surf relaxation, a shared kitchen and an on-site restaurant serving Moroccan dishes.

A typical day begins with breakfast at the camp at 08:00 before a transfer to the day's surf spot. Your lesson starts around 10:00, followed by a picnic or beachside lunch, then a supervised free surf session in the afternoon. You head back for some relaxation time before dinner together at the camp in the evening. On some afternoons you can choose a yoga class instead of surfing, and there is an optional visit to the local market. Meals celebrate Moroccan culture and fresh, local ingredients, from tagines and couscous to fresh salads and grilled fish, with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options among those catered for. Your stay ends with a farewell dinner of local Moroccan cuisine, and on the last day there is free time for optional excursions such as horse riding or kayaking.
