Secret MoroccoWomen's Surf Camp

We offer 3 easy ways to pay!
1. Pay In Full – Pay the full amount in one, that’s it your done! (Available online)

2.50/50 – Pay a 50% deposit and the remaining 50% 12 weeks before the trip starts. (Available online)

3. Payment Plan – Pay an initial deposit and the rest in instalments! (Contact us using our online chat or email us for this option)

We can’t guarantee your place until we receive payment (in full or a deposit). Once you have made a payment, you’ll then be sent a trip confirmation email.

We supply all equipment and have a great range of boards available as part of your package but if you want to bring your own surfboard you can expect to pay around £45 each way – but this depends on the airline and the board’s size so make sure you check your airline’s baggage fees when you book.

You’ll find basic amenities including small shops and a pharmacy – but if you’re looking for local produce, unique gifts, Moroccan jewellery and trinkets, visit the weekly local market (souk).

There are some restaurants nearby and this is one of the few places in Morocco where you’ll find a bar, making our location even more unique.

After breakfast in the morning sun, we’ll travel a short distance along the desert-backed coastline to our favourite waves.

Morocco is known for its peeling, right-hand point breaks. There’s one at our own secret break, which we almost always have completely to ourselves. It’s a great fun-sized wave for learning and for more advanced surfers to practise turns, cutbacks and take-offs.

For goofy footers, we know a left-hand point that generates super long rides. We once recorded a guest clock up a 40-second ride at this particular spot!

With plenty of wave variety, we can find options for everyone, regardless of swell and tide. Our Moroccan guide knows the daily conditions and will advise us on the right spot at the right time. And with a distinct lack of crowds, it’s the perfect location to build your confidence without worrying about getting in anyone’s way.

Morocco sits on the edge of the Sahara, the largest desert in the world. During the months we visit, you can expect hot and dry weather with warm seas to match. In June temperatures reach 20-25°C (with a low of 17°C at night) so you’re unlikely to need a full wetsuit all the time.

In September, expect more of the same. We recommend a 3/2mm wetsuit to stay toasty, although you can surf comfortably without a wetsuit in the midday sunshine. When the sun’s shining, on previous trips, there have been plenty of opportunities to surf in a bikini or swimsuit.

Your food during the trip – though we recommend you choose the £25 per day food package
Visits to the jewellery souk and ancient medina (£55)
Trips to a Hamman (a steam room that’s like the equivalent of a Turkish bath) to ease your paddling muscles (£32)
Optional day trip to the Sahara (£70)
Optional horse ride/camel ride on the beach (£25)
Sunset drinks on the rooftop at the local bar (around £3.50 per beer)

Of course! 95% of our guests attend alone! We pride ourselves on being super welcoming and friendly. You’ll arrive solo and leave with a whole heap of new surf friends for life!

Due to this trip being in high demand and having limited spaces, we can only hold your space for up to 24 hours without payment.

You are welcome to attend for a shorter period to suit your personal schedule, however, the package price will remain the same.

Group booking discounts are available, please contact us for more information.

ASAP! These holidays fill up quickly and, with super limited spaces available, sell out fast. We operate on a first come first serve basis. If you want to secure your place on the trip, it is advised that you pay as soon as you can.

If you are based outside of the UK and would like to book or chat through the holiday details, we can be contacted through our online chat.

We pride ourselves that Women and Waves is inclusive to all. We have a great mix of all ages and backgrounds.

Nearly all International mobile networks work in Morocco. For internet calls, there’s WiFi access at the villa with an acceptable connection. There is acceptable connection throughout the accommodation but in our experience, it isn’t a strong enough connection to stream movies or download large files.

We choose the time of year and location for our holidays based on local knowledge and historical swell data. In the event of flat waves or stormy conditions, we will offer alternative activities and day trips to help you get the most out of your holiday.

We may also adjust the format of the week, for example, choosing to run more surf sessions on the days that the waves are at their best.

Please visit our Terms & Conditions for more information.

We do not offer a discount for bringing your own equipment. High standard equipment is included in the price, so if you don’t fancy travelling with your board and wetsuit we can organise this for you.

There will be a range of boards to choose from, we provide the use of 7, 8 and 9 ft soft top boards and 7- 8ft epoxy minimals.

Remember to check the baggage size and weight allowance with your airline, as well as reading their guidance for carrying surfboards. Baggage handlers can be unforgiving, so a tough bag and intelligent packing are a must.

Firstly, pack your board(s) in a protective, padded board bag, and write FRAGILE and TOP LOAD ONLY on it with a permanent marker. Make sure you wrap your towel and clothes around your board inside the bag for added protection. Place your shampoo and other wet toiletries in a separate sealed bag in case of leakage. We also recommend locking the zips on your bag with a padlock.

Visas are not required for British and European passport holders for stays under 90 days. Passports must be valid for three months from the date of entry into Morocco. Non-European travellers should seek advice about visa requirements from their travel agent.

If you’re not a British national, please check international travel requirements for your nationality.

Please contact your travel agent or airline if you have any further questions. It’s a good idea to carry photocopies of your important documents and guide books and pack them separately. We also suggest scanning copies and emailing them to yourself for extra reassurance.

If you are under 18, we will need to chat to you on the phone and you will need to be accompanied on the trip by a parent or guardian throughout the holiday. If you are 60 or over we’d love to chat with you about the trip before you book. Please contact us via our online chat.

As with any holiday, full travel insurance is a requirement for all guests booking a trip with the company.

Please also ensure that your policy covers you for ‘disruption to travel’ and ‘cover for cancellations’ as standard.

For further help please read our helpful blog post about travel insurance.

You may need to add additional cover for surfing, it is essential that your insurance policy covers you for all activities during your stay. Failure to take out travel insurance breaks the contract between Women And Waves and the client.

If you are joining one of our trips and you are native to the country of its location (i.e you live in Lisbon and are joining our Portugal trip) you do not need to take out medical travel insurance. This is as long as you have your own personal health-care plan or are covered by your country’s National Health Service. Although, we kindly request that you still take out trip disruption and cancellation insurance to cover all possible eventualities.

The currency in Morocco is the Dirham which you can draw out at the exchange facilities in airports as well as ATMs.

We recommend drawing out your money at the airport when you arrive. There are also banks in the village where we stay but often do not hold much cash. It’s your responsibility to organise your currency in your own time.

All cancellations must be sent in writing and will be effective on the date which they are received by the company. Cancellation charges are payable as follows:

Period before departure we are notified – Percentage of total cost payable

If you cancel 12 weeks or more before the trip we retain 50% of the total cost.

If you cancel with less than 12 weeks before the trip then its 100% of the total cost.

However if your cancellation is within the terms of your insurance policy, you may be able to make a claim.
