Medina Surfing Association

Medina Surfing Association offers a refreshingly different surf experience — located not in the surf tourism hub of Taghazout, but in Morocco's capital city of Rabat. Sitting on the Atlantic coast where the Bou Regreg river meets the ocean, Rabat offers a more urban, culturally rich setting for surfing, and the Medina Surfing Association is at the heart of it.

Unlike the purpose-built surf camps of the Agadir region, the Medina Surfing Association operates as a community-focused organisation with a strong social mission. It provides affordable access to surfing for local residents while also welcoming international visitors who want to surf in a less commercial environment. The waves along Rabat's coastline are generally forgiving, making the association an excellent choice for beginners or intermediate surfers who want to combine their surf sessions with exploration of one of Morocco's most beautiful imperial cities.

Surfing with the Medina Surfing Association offers a unique perspective — morning sessions on Rabat's beaches followed afternoons wandering through the UNESCO-listed medina, visiting the Hassan Tower, or exploring the kasbah. The association's instructors are passionate about ocean safety and environmental stewardship, making every lesson both educational and enjoyable. It is the perfect choice for surfers who want culture, history, and waves all in one trip.
