Our house

A family, a house, and one very long wave

Tafukt Surf is a family-run camp in Imsouane, five minutes from the water. Two brothers coach, their mother cooks, and the Atlantic sets the timetable.

How Tafukt works

Tafukt means sun in Tamazight — and on this coast you get it almost every morning of the year.

Mhend and Mohamed grew up here and learned to surf the long right of Magic Bay, an ~800-metre point break that peels a few minutes from our door. Tafukt is their house, opened to the people who come to ride it.

So there is no reception desk and no schedule pinned to a wall. The tide decides when we paddle out, Aïcha decides when we eat, and the rest of the week shapes itself around those two.

“We don't run a hotel. We open our home, and the ocean does the rest.”

— Mhend & Mohamed, founders
  • 800m The Magic Bay right — one of Africa's longest rides
  • 340 Days of Atlantic sun every year
  • 5 Surfers max in the water with you
  • 15+ Surf spots up the Agadir coast

The family

Three people you will actually spend the week with.

  • Mhend

    Co-founder & coach

    Reads the swell before anyone else is awake, and takes the small groups out on the long right.

  • Mohamed

    Co-founder & coach

    Plans your week, meets you at the airport, and coaches the sessions in between.

  • Aïcha

    The kitchen

    Bread out of the oven every morning, tajines that simmer all afternoon, and the cooking class if you want to learn how.

How we do things

  • Five in the water, no more

    Groups cap at five so a coach can actually watch you surf. It is most of the reason a week here moves you forward.

  • Coaching at your level

    ISA-certified coaches who compete at home and abroad, matching the session to where you are rather than the other way round.

  • Food from the bled

    Bread baked every morning, tajines simmered slow, mint tea poured high on the rooftop. You eat what we eat.

  • A house, not a hotel

    Most of our guests arrive on their own and leave with a crew. Shared meals on the rooftop make that easy.

Where you will find us

We are in Imsouane bay, a fishing village on the Atlantic between Agadir and Essaouira. Magic Bay breaks a five-minute walk from the door, and fifteen-plus more spots line the coast down to Agadir — when the swell shifts, we chase it.
