Morocco and the South Atlantic Coast are a great place for activities like surfing, kiteboarding, stand-up paddleboarding. During summer months, the afternoons are quite windy, so it will suit kiteboarders better, but surfers can still have some good time especially in the morning. From October onwards, the winds are less powerful and surfing is better. For classical surfing, the most famous places to head to are the three neighbouring villages of Taghazout, Tamragh and Aourir on the one hand and Sidi Ifni more in the south on the other. There are plenty of schools along the coast where you can get surf or kite lessons.
By road
If you are travelling with a car, you can easily access the south via the stable road network.
By plane
Between Essaouira and Agadir it is very easy to catch an intercity bus anywhere along the way. During the day there is one bus about every hour.
