Taghazout in December: Peak Surf Season
While Europe shivers, Taghazout enjoys its best season: consistent winter swells, sunshine and still-mild water. December draws beginners and experienced surfers alike.
Taghazout in December means around 21 °C air temperature, a sea around 19 °C and a strong, consistent swell: it is peak surf season, which runs from September to April. Experienced surfers head for point breaks such as Anchor Point or Killer Point; beginners learn on the more sheltered beaches around Tamraght with surf schools (group lesson from €33-45, gear included). A 3/2 mm wetsuit is usually enough. The village is 30-45 minutes from Agadir and its airport. The Christmas holidays fill surf camps and guesthouses quickly, so book early for the festive season. Off the board: Paradise Valley as a half-day trip (from €19) and sunsets over the Atlantic.
