What to expect in December
December brings some of the most powerful and consistent swells of the year to Taghazout Bay. The point breaks are at their best, and the famous right-handers can run for hundreds of metres on a good day.
It is also a popular month, especially around Christmas and New Year, so book early. Beginners can still learn on sheltered beach breaks, and our coaches plan sessions around the tide and the swell to find the right waves.
