What March actually feels like

March is the last month you can plan a trip around the pointbreaks and expect them to show up. Swell drops a step from February but stays organised, days pass 12 hours of light, and afternoons get genuinely warm. Water is still 18 °C. The trade-off is wind: the spring northerly starts to build, so the clean window narrows toward the first half of the day.

How March feels

A balanced coastal month: more light, easier afternoons and enough surf potential for a mixed week without forcing every day around swell.

March questions

Is March better than April for surfing in Taghazout?

For pointbreak surf, yes. March keeps roughly the winter swell pattern with more daylight, while April sees both the swell and the clean-wind window shrink. For beach comfort and beginner lessons, April is the easier month.

When does the wind get up in March?

Typically between 11:00 and 13:00. A dawn session at Anchor or Panorama and a second one after 17:00 is a better plan than a single midday session. Imsouane Bay holds cleaner for longer on the same days.

Do I still need a wetsuit in March?

Yes, a 3/2. The air can reach 23 °C by mid-afternoon, which tempts people out of neoprene, but the water is still around 18 °C and a two-hour session in March gets cold fast without a full suit.

Is March a good month for Taghazout?

Yes, if its season profile matches your priority: surf, beach comfort, family time, remote work or a slower coastal week.

Should I choose accommodation before checking the forecast?

Choose the stay location for the week first, then use the forecast to shape each surf or activity day.

Do I need a live forecast after choosing the month?

Yes. The month helps with the travel window; the forecast decides the daily surf and activity plan.
