Anza surf camp on Morocco's sand-bottom Atlantic
Anza surf camp weeks run from a beachfront base in Agadir's surf neighbourhood — fifty metres from sand-bottom peaks, roughly twenty minutes from Agadir Al Massira Airport (AGA), and quieter than Taghazout village on most swell maps.
Most Morocco surf camps stop at the beach. MatnWave is built around the mix: daily Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu blocks, controlled evening rolls, and cohorts capped at twelve (12) practitioners — the same structured rhythm in Taghazout and Anza. Surf leads the week here; the mat is what makes MatnWave different on Morocco's Atlantic coast.

Surf + BJJ rhythm
Surf-first in Anza · BJJ built into every MatnWave week
Dawn surf blocks
Coaches run trim, positioning, and wave selection before ego sends you out of depth. Boards and vests staged when included on your format.
Afternoon BJJ labs
Gi or no-gi technique chains after surf clears cortisol — part of MatnWave's Morocco cohort format, not a surf-only camp with mats bolted on. Pace agreements apply when paddle load is high.
Beachfront hostel
Grip Sea Morocco — rated 9.6/10, rooftop debriefs, dry gear storage, macro-aligned breakfast.
Twelve-practitioner cap
Small cohorts keep coaching personal and the house calm — not a forty-bed party hostel with a surf sticker.

Anza surf camp FAQ
Direct answers for surf-first planners — BJJ context included where it matters.
What is an Anza surf camp? +
An Anza surf camp is a week-long coached surf program based in Anza, Agadir, Morocco — sand-bottom Atlantic breaks, hostel living, and daily sessions. MatnWave adds afternoon Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu blocks and caps cohorts at twelve (12) practitioners.
How much does an Anza surf camp cost? +
MatnWave Anza surf camp weeks start from €449 per person. The flagship format includes premium-hostel stay, daily surf coaching with equipment, daily BJJ training, breakfast, and airport pickup timing from Agadir Al Massira (AGA). See /prices for live tier detail when cohorts are open.
Why choose Anza over Taghazout for a surf camp? +
Anza offers mellower sand-bottom peaks, a shorter drive from Agadir airport (~20 minutes), and a quieter beachfront base at Grip Sea Morocco — fifty metres from the Atlantic. Taghazout suits point-break veterans; Anza suits beginners, progression weeks, and guests who want surf-first logistics with optional missions north when swell aligns.
Is Anza good for beginner surfers? +
Yes. Anza beach and nearby Agadir bay setups favour whitewater through soft green waves. Coaches rotate banks by tide and wind so learning weeks are not forced onto heavy reef points on day one.
Do I need to train BJJ at an Anza surf camp? +
BJJ is core to every MatnWave week in Morocco — afternoon gi or no-gi blocks and controlled evening rolls, not an optional add-on at one location. Surf-only guests should disclose on application; coaches may adjust sparring load. MatnWave is for guests who want both disciplines in one rhythm.
Where is the Anza surf camp based? +
MatnWave flagship weeks stage from Grip Sea Morocco in Anza, Agadir — Projet Social n°81, fifty metres from Anza Beach on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. Agadir–Al Massira Airport (AGA) is roughly 20 minutes by road.
What surf spots are used from Anza? +
Primary sessions run at Anza beach peaks and Agadir bay sandbars. When swell and group level align, coaches may stage select missions toward Taghazout points (Anchor, Hash, Panoramas) with transparent shuttle times — never as a default daily commute.
What is included in a MatnWave Anza surf camp week? +
Included: premium-hostel accommodation, daily surf sessions with board/wetsuit/rash guard when listed on the format, daily BJJ coaching, breakfast, cohort logistics, and airport pickup windows in your confirmation pack. Lunch and dinner protocols are confirmed after application review.
How far is Anza from Agadir airport? +
Agadir Al Massira (AGA) is approximately 20 minutes from Anza by road — shorter than most Taghazout village transfers. Direct flights serve Agadir from major European hubs year-round.
Is Anza safe for solo surf travellers? +
Anza is an established surf neighbourhood with steady tourism infrastructure. MatnWave includes coached water time, hostel accommodation, and cohort living so solo guests are not navigating Atlantic breaks alone on arrival day.
What wetsuit do I need in Anza? +
Water temperatures along the Agadir corridor average 17–22 °C year-round. Pack a 3/2 mm full suit October–April and a springsuit or 2 mm for May–September dawn sessions. Equipment is included on MatnWave camp weeks when the format lists it.
Can I book the Anza surf camp week directly? +
Yes. Open /camps/anza-bjj-surf for the flagship format schedule, FAQ, and pricing context — then apply on /book when a cohort week is open, or email [email protected] for the next intake window.
