Is Morocco Safe for Solo Female Surfers?

For many women, planning a surf trip alone can feel like a big step. Safety, comfort, and feeling welcome are often top priorities. So naturally, the question arises: Is Morocco safe for solo female surfers?

The short answer is: Yes—with the right place and the right people, Morocco is a wonderful destination for women traveling solo to surf.

Why Morocco?

Morocco has become one of the most popular surf destinations in the world. With year-round waves, warm weather, and a vibrant surf culture, the coastline near Tamraght and Taghazout attracts surfers from all over the globe.

But if you’re a woman traveling alone, it’s normal to have concerns about cultural differences or safety in general.
