Whether you’re a gnarly novice or a dedicated dude, Surf Berbere has everything for a great surfing holiday. With both a surf camp and luxury apartments, the sounds of the ocean will lull you to sleep after a hard day of paddling, popping and panting in the Atlantic Ocean. Staying within the camp offers the chance to meet others in search of surfing serenity, and the chance to grill the local staff about the secrets of the sport on the Moroccan coast.

THE CHILLOUT 3*

Surf Berbere, Morocco There’s a reason surfers wear their shorts so low. They have no waistline. For a week of excellent cardiovascular fitness, muscle-toning and a fat-burning chill from the water, you can’t beat hitting the waves. Choose Morocco and you’ll have the added benefit of spending your evenings sipping virtuous peppermint tea, rather than the carb-loaded devil’s drink, beer. Surf Berbere is a new, British-run camp in the laid-back Atlantic town of Taghazout, with quiet waves and help for beginners. Do it:seven nights cost £400pp, full-board, including transfers, equipment hire and instruction; visit www.surfberbere.com.

TRAVELING AROUND MOROCCO

The next day, a pack of globally nomadic Argentine surfers invite me south with them to Taghazoute, an Agadir suburb, for a day out on the waves. The coastal road between Essaouira and Agadir offers access to the hemisphere’s best point breaks, some of which stretch for up to a kilometre. As one popular surfing web site bluntly puts it, “If you are struggling to get waves in a crowded line-up in Morocco, you are a fool, and a lazy one at that”. But I am all too aware of my poor balance and penchant for wipe outs, and leave the peeling reef waves to my more well-seasoned friends.

20 TOP REASONS TO VISIT MOROCCO

This laid-back fishing village, 20km from Agadir, has been a surfing destination since the late 1960s, but news of the quality of its surf breaks has started to spread and, as a result, accommodation options are improving. Surf Berbere is a British-run surf school with accommodation near Hash Point, one of the best point breaks in North Africa; apartments have bathrooms, satellite TV and wi-fi. In January and February guests can swap their wetsuits for skis and head to Oukmedian for a couple of days' skiing, staying at a Berber mountain chalet.

THE OLD AND THE SEA

James Bailey, 26, runs the Surf Berbere hostel and surf school. He’s Lahcen’s neighbour. A short holiday and a £200 (€228) deposit later, he was swapping city life in London for a place where sun and unpredictable bowel movements are both guaranteed. Like Goa and Costa Rica, Taghazout is home to that brave breed of traveller with the ingenuity to make their favourite destination their place of business.

Surfing is the only show in town these days, and any other tourism that exists is riding on the back of the industry. The surf schools offer lessons on what are probably some of the best breaks to learn on. The water’s warm, the waves are consistent, and thanks to the scarcity of booze (it’s still available, don’t worry), you’re not paddling out every morning trying to piece together the night before.
