Surf camps in Imsouane

In Taghazout you choose a camp on where it takes you. In Imsouane there is essentially one answer, and it is the bay, a right that runs for hundreds of metres and works on every tide. Almost everything a camp can do for you here has already been done by the geography.

So the comparison shifts. What separates two camps in Imsouane is not the break, it is how many hours a day you can be in the water and who is next to you when you are. A wave that works at any tide means a camp is free to put you in at ten or at four; a camp that still runs one fixed session a day is wasting the one thing this village has.

What a week includes

Our two sheets run from 83 € a night at Olas Surf Camp to 110 € at Imsouane Surf Family, both full board, and both including the transfer that matters more here than anywhere else on the coast: Imsouane is an hour and a half from Agadir, and getting there is a real line in the budget rather than a formality.

One of the two sells no room without a package at all. That is not a hard sell, it is a house that runs on coached weeks, and it is worth knowing before you write asking for a bed.

Who the village suits

The bay takes beginners and advanced surfers on the same wave, which is rare enough that it is the reason to come. A first-timer gets a long, slow ride; someone building their stance gets hundreds of metres to work on it.

What it does not give is intensity or nightlife. Imsouane is small and remote, the wave is generous rather than powerful, and the evening is the sea and dinner. Restful or long, depending on what you came for.

Two sheets, eight unread

Seven more camps in Imsouane sit in our inventory without a sheet, which is the largest untouched pool of any village we publish. They are unread rather than judged: the operator has to put a price on its own site, or the sheet does not go up.
