The actual packing list
Surf
A 3/2 wetsuit works spring to autumn; add a 4/3 or a thermal layer for December–February mornings
Reef-safe zinc and SPF50 — the sun is strong even when the wind feels cool
Leash, wax (warm-water in summer, cool-water in winter) and a small ding-repair kit
Earplugs and a changing poncho for windy mornings
No board? Fine — boards rent easily in the village
Clothing
Light layers: days are warm, ocean evenings get breezy
A windbreaker or hoodie for offshore mornings
Flip-flops plus one pair of closed shoes for rocky paths and hills
Normal streetwear for village walks — beachwear stays on the beach
Health & documents
Passport valid 6 months; most EU, UK and US visitors get 90 visa-free days
Travel insurance that actually covers surfing
Small kit: painkillers, rehydration salts, plasters, motion-sickness tablets for day trips
Type C/E plug adapter — Morocco runs on 220 V
Money & practical
Cash in dirhams — many cafés and taxis are cash-only; ATMs in the village and Agadir
An unlocked phone for a local SIM or eSIM (Maroc Telecom, Orange, inwi)
A small daypack for day trips
A reusable bottle — buy big water bottles locally rather than drinking tap water
