Surf gear you’ll need for Morocco

The Moroccan coastline offers incredible surf for all levels, from beginners to seasoned riders. Luckily, most surf retreats in Morocco provide boards and wetsuits, but you may prefer bringing your own gear if you have specific preferences.

Surf retreat Morocco essentials:

• Swimwear: Bring at least two surf-friendly bikinis or boardshorts that stay in place.

• Wetsuit: A 3/2mm full suit is perfect for cooler months (Nov–Apr); a spring suit or rash guard works for warmer months. (we do provide it at @Thehapppysurfers!)

• Waterproof sunscreen: Reef-safe SPF 50 for face and body.

• Surfboard wax: Match the water temperature (we also provide it!).

• Dry bag: To keep your phone and valuables safe at the beach.

Tip: If you’re flying and renting a surfboard in Morocco, confirm in advance whether your Tamraght or Taghazout surf retreat has the right board for your level.

Yoga Retreat Essentials for Morocco

Morning yoga on the rooftop, ocean breeze, and stunning sunsets… The yoga side of your retreat is pure bliss.

To get the most out of it, pack these Morocco yoga retreat essentials:

• Lightweight yoga mat: Some retreats provide mats, but a travel-friendly mat ensures comfort and hygiene (you'll have your own one if you join our retreats!)

• Yoga clothes: Breathable leggings, shorts, and tops you can layer.

• Sweater or shawl: For early morning meditation or evening sessions.

• Reusable water bottle: Stay hydrated during the day.

Clothing for the Moroccan Coast

Morocco’s surf towns have a relaxed, bohemian vibe. The Moroccan climate is warm most of the year, but evenings can get chilly.

• Casual beachwear: Dresses, shorts, tank tops.

• Light sweater or hoodie: For cooler mornings and nights.

• Flip-flops & sandals: Easy to slip on for the beach.

• Closed shoes: Sneakers or trainers for day trips or hiking.

• Scarf or light wrap: Useful for sun protection and cultural visits.

Toiletries & Personal Care for Your Retreat

While you can find most basics in Morocco, it’s best to bring your favourites.

• Shampoo & conditioner: Saltwater and sun can dry your hair.

• Moisturiser & lip balm with SPF: Your skin will thank you.

• After-sun lotion or aloe vera: Perfect after a day in the waves.

• Deodorant & personal hygiene products.

• Any prescription medication you might need.

  
  

Travel Documents & Health Essentials

A few practical items will make your surf holiday in Morocco worry-free:

• Passport: Valid for at least six months after your trip.

• Travel insurance: Ideally covering surf activities.

• Printed booking confirmation: For your surf and yoga retreat in Morocco.

• Local currency (dirhams): Some small cafés and shops don’t accept cards.

• Power adapter: Morocco uses type C and E plugs (220V).

Final Tip: Pack Light, Live Fully

When it comes to what to bring to a surf and yoga retreat in Morocco, remember: you’ll spend most of your days barefoot, in surf gear, or in yoga clothes. The real essentials are your sense of adventure, an open heart, and a willingness to disconnect from screens for the ultimate digital detox.

Now you’re ready to zip up your bag, fly to Morocco, and let the waves and sunshine do the rest. See you on the mat - and in the lineup!
