If you want to surf Morocco in April, you are picking one of the best months of the year. April sits right at that sweet spot where the winter swells are still pushing through, but the air is warm and the crowds thin out. We run our surf camp in Tamraght all year, and April is a month we always look forward to.
The Weather in Morocco in April
April brings some of the most pleasant weather you can find on this coast. The daytime temperatures hover around 22 to 25 degrees in Tamraght. You will wake up to clear blue skies almost every morning. The strong winter winds have usually calmed down by now, which makes the conditions much cleaner for surfing. You can eat breakfast on the rooftop in a t-shirt, and you will not need a jacket during the day. Evenings get a little cooler, so a light jumper is a good idea. It is a comfortable time to be outside all day without feeling exhausted by the heat.
Surf Conditions in April: Waves Around Tamraght
The Atlantic does not switch off when spring arrives. You still get solid swells in April, especially in the first few weeks. The waves are generally a bit smaller and more manageable than in the peak winter months of December through February. This makes April great if you are progressing from a beginner to an intermediate level.
The beach breaks right here in Tamraght are perfect for daily lessons. A short walk or drive up the coast opens up more options:
- Tamraght beach for forgiving white water and green waves
- Devil's Rock for a longer right-hander when the swell picks up
- Panoramas just south of Taghazout for easy, rolling waves
- Anchor Point for advanced surfers chasing a long ride on a good swell day
The water is still holding some of its winter warmth, and the morning sessions are usually glassy before the afternoon sea breeze kicks in.
Water Temperature & Wetsuit Advice
The water temperature in April sits around 17 to 18 degrees. It is not tropical, but it is far from freezing. A 3/2mm wetsuit is the standard choice for most people this month. If you feel the cold easily, you might prefer a 4/3mm, especially for those early morning dawn patrol sessions. You will not need boots, gloves, or a hood. The sun is strong enough that you will be peeling off your wetsuit the moment you get out of the water. We provide all the surf gear you need at the riad, so you do not have to travel with a heavy wetsuit unless you want to bring your own.
Why April is a Great Time for a Surf Camp
April is a transition month. The peak European winter holiday rush is over, so the lineups are quieter. You get more waves to yourself and more attention from our surf instructors. The weather is warm enough to enjoy the beach between sessions, dry off on the sand, and explore the area without overheating. It is also a fantastic time to add some land activities to your trip. The conditions for our 4-Day Adventure Trip with quad biking and sandboarding are perfect right now. The trails are dry, and the evenings are just right for a beach bonfire.
If you want to mix things up, April is also ideal for a yoga and surf retreat. Starting your day with yoga on the rooftop as the sun comes up, followed by a surf session, is a routine that fits the calm spring atmosphere perfectly.
