Surfing in southern Morocco, from Agadir to Sidi Ifni
South of Agadir, a wilder coast unrolls beaches and points far from the crowds. From Mirleft to Sidi Ifni, the guide to surfing the Moroccan south.
From the gate, the road and the yellow fields, the village and the ocean in the distanceSouthern Morocco — the coast running down from Agadir toward Sidi Ifni — offers some of the country's quietest waves. Allow about two hours' drive from Agadir airport to reach Mirleft, the heart of the area.
How do you get to the south?
The nearest airport is Agadir (Al Massira). From there, two hours' drive south leads to Mirleft; thirty minutes more for Sidi Ifni. The road hugs the ocean: you watch the spots go by.
Which spots around Mirleft?
- Aglou — a long sand beach, accessible waves, north of Sidi Ifni.
- Legzira — its spectacular red cliffs, minutes from Mirleft.
- Mirleft — several gentle beach breaks, perfect for learning.
- Sidi Ifni — a former port, more committing points for the confident.
Who is this coast for?
For those who prefer the authentic to the spectacular: fishing villages, markets, and sessions where you share the peak with three people. Fewer schools, fewer shops — more sea.
The south isn't visited quickly; it lets itself be discovered, one morning at a time. That's exactly the rhythm of our surf camp in Mirleft — surf in the morning, tea and slowness the rest of the time. Come and see.
