Crocro is one of those spots you hear about after you’ve been in the area for a while — mentioned in passing by a surfer who’s been coming here for years, or pointed out by a local guide who’s tired of watching visitors pile into Hash Point without knowing what else exists within a few kilometres. It’s not on the tourist circuit, which is largely the point.

Crocro is located approximately 14km north of Agadir and 2km south of Taghazout village — in the Tamraght bay area, roughly 300 metres north of Devil’s Rock. It is south of Taghazout village, in the Tamraght stretch of coast.

The Wave

Crocro is a beach break with a sandy seabed, offering both rights and lefts. Named after the crocodile-shaped rocks at the spot. Beginner to intermediate level — the sandy bottom and generally forgiving conditions make it popular with surf schools. Best in spring/summer when swells are smaller. Consistent and accessible.

Best Conditions

Swell: Northwest, offshore NE wind — same macro conditions as the wider Taghazout bay. Optimal swell 2–4ft. Works year-round; winter brings larger swells for intermediates.

Best months: Works year-round. Spring/summer for beginners; winter for intermediates.

Skill Level

Beginner to intermediate. Sandy bottom, forgiving conditions. Popular with surf schools. Not a big wave or reef spot.

Getting There

From Taghazout: 2km drive south on the N1. From Tamraght: walkable along the beach or coast path. Visible from the road.

Practical Info

  • Sandy bottom is relatively safe
  • The crocodile-shaped rocks that give the spot its name are present — maintain awareness
  • No formal beach facilities
  • Surf camps are in the immediate area

FAQ

How do I find out about local spots like Crocro?

The best way is to spend time in the area — a week or two — and talk to surfers at Hash Point or in the cafes. Surf instructors who’ve been based in Taghazout for years will point you in the right direction if you ask. Alternatively, our surf guide covers every break we’ve confirmed from personal experience.
