Here’s a detailed list of spots by skill level, with what makes each special / when to go / things to know:

4. 🔧 Practical tips to surf better in Taghazout

• Check the daily surf report: swell direction (north‑west often), wind (offshore is best), tide (some spots prefer low tide, others high).

• Wake up early: the waves are cleaner, the offshore wind calmer, fewer people in the line‑up.

• Respect local surf etiquette: give space, don’t drop in on others, respect the locals.

• Rent or bring a suitable board: for beginners a wide soft board; for progressing, funboard/longboard/shortboard depending on style.

• Bring the right wetsuit depending on the season (see table above), because even if the sun shines, the water can be chilly.

• Choose accommodation close to the spots you’ll surf often — saves time traveling.

• If possible, take a guide or surf lessons for a few days; they help you learn faster, get you to good spots, avoid costly or dangerous mistakes.

5. 💫 The emotion, the experience, what a wave gives you

Because beyond technique, what makes Taghazout special is how you feel when:

• you wait in the line‑up at dawn, the sky turning pink, and the wave rises before you

• you feel the board tremble, the swell under your body, and you commit to your take‑off

• your heart races, you ride the wave, you glide, you reinvent yourself

• after the session, salt on your skin, breath still heavy, heart full of a simple victory: having faced fear, having dared to go, having surfed a wave that reminds you of your true self
