The 7th annual Agadir Open Surf & Bodyboard Competition will take place this weekend, here at our very own home break of Devil’s Rock!
The 3 day competition will run from Mar 24-26, hosted by the Imouran Surf Association and Moroccan Royal Federation of Surf and Bodyboard. The event is expected to draw 250+ competitors from across Morocco and beyond, with both international and national champions in the mix. The Agadir Open surf competition is one of the highlights of the local surf calendar and a great event to watch even if you’re not competing.
For the first time ever, there will also be a separate league just for female competition.
Beyond just surfing and bodyboarding, the event will feature local musicians, art, and food throughout the weekend, with a concert on Saturday evening beginning at 5:30 PM.
A solid 1 meter swell is expected to roll in just in time for the beginning of the competition on Friday. However the current weather forecast predicts heavy winds, so the start time of the competition may shift around to adapt to the conditions.
We are extremely excited to watch our own surf instructor Abdullah compete in the body boarding portion of the competition! If you are in Morocco or anywhere nearby, this event is an absolute can’t miss. Come join us for a taste of local surf culture, and authentic Moroccan food, art and music!
Devil’s Rock is our home break at Original Surf Morocco, come and surf it yourself during your stay in Tamraght.
Whether you’re a competitor or a spectator, the Agadir Open surf competition is worth experiencing. The atmosphere at Devil’s Rock during competition days is electric, local surfers pushing their limits, crowds cheering from the beach, and the Atlantic providing the perfect backdrop. If you’re planning a surf trip to Morocco and the dates align, make sure you don’t miss it.
