What to Pack for a Surf Trip to Morocco: The Complete Checklist

✅ Try our interactive packing checklist: it adapts to your month and level.

Packing for a surf trip to Morocco is simpler than you think, especially if you stay at an all-inclusive surf camp. Here is our complete checklist, based on what our guests actually need in Tamraght and Taghazout Bay.

What surf camps usually provide

At Endless Wave, surfboards, wetsuits and leashes are included in every package, and you can swap boards during the week. You also get towels, WiFi and daily transport to the beach. If you stay with us you can leave the heavy gear at home. See what is included in our packages.

Surf gear

  • Swimwear and a rash guard or surf top
  • Your own board only if you are an experienced surfer with a favourite shape
  • Reef booties if you plan to surf the point breaks
  • Surf wax, if you bring your own board
  • Reef-safe sunscreen and a zinc stick for your face

Clothes by season

  • Winter (November to February): warm layers and a jacket for cool evenings. Water is around 16 to 18 °C, so a 4/3 mm wetsuit is best.
  • Spring and autumn: light layers, a hoodie and a 3/2 mm wetsuit.
  • Summer: light clothes, a hat and sandals.
  • All year: modest clothes covering shoulders and knees for the souks, villages and religious sites.

Documents and money

  • Passport with enough validity for your stay, and check visa rules for your nationality
  • Travel insurance that covers surfing
  • Some cash in euros or dirhams: many small shops and markets are cash only
  • A bank card for ATMs in Tamraght, Taghazout and Agadir

Useful extras

  • A reusable water bottle
  • A universal adapter (Morocco uses type C and E plugs)
  • A small first-aid kit with plasters for reef cuts
  • A dry bag for your phone at the beach
  • A light daypack for trips like Paradise Valley

What you do not need to bring

Heavy boards and wetsuits (included), lots of towels (provided) or a big budget for food, since our packages include Moroccan home cooking. Plan your extras on our activities page, then book your surf week.

FAQ

Do I need to bring a surfboard to Morocco?

Not if you stay at a surf camp like Endless Wave, where boards and wetsuits are included. Experienced surfers sometimes bring their own favourite board.

What wetsuit do I need in Morocco?

Around a 4/3 mm in winter, when the water is 16 to 18 °C, and a 3/2 mm in spring, summer and autumn.

Can I pay by card in Morocco?

In larger shops and restaurants yes, but many small shops, markets and taxis are cash only, so bring some cash and use ATMs in town.
