About Coworksurf (Tasra Surf & Flow)
Coworksurf occupies a five-room property directly in front of Cathedral Beach in Imsouane, Morocco's sleepy fishing-village-turned-surf-destination on the Atlantic coast. The communal work area faces the ocean through open arches, and the design is simple Moroccan coastal โ whitewashed walls, tiled floors, wooden furniture โ without the polished coworking aesthetic of city spaces. This is the only dedicated coworking-coliving operation in Imsouane, which means it functions as the default productivity hub for the village's growing community of surf-and-work nomads. Moroccan cuisine is served for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on-site, and free coffee and tea flow throughout the day, making it possible to work and eat without ever leaving the property.
Work infrastructure is remarkably strong for a village this remote. WiFi reaches 180 Mbps โ faster than most cafes in Moroccan cities โ and handles video conferencing, large uploads, and multiple simultaneous users without degradation. A backup generator covers the power outages that occasionally hit Imsouane's grid, ensuring your work session doesn't end with the electricity. Power outlets serve the communal work tables, the noise level stays quiet thanks to the intimate five-room scale and the ocean-facing setting, and seating comfort is good across the desk chairs and lounge areas. A printer is available for the rare document that needs physical form.
Coffee and tea are included in the day rate, with meals running about $2 USD reflecting Moroccan coastal pricing. Hours extend from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, giving you a full 14-hour window with ocean views. The Cathedral Point location puts you steps from the famous right-hand point break and the village's cluster of beachfront restaurants. Best for remote workers doing extended stays in Imsouane who need reliable, fast internet and backup power in a location where infrastructure is otherwise unpredictable.

Why Imsouane for Remote Work?
Africa's longest wave breaks below a cliff-perched fishing village where the pace of life aligns more with the tide chart than any productivity app. Imsouane's national broadband averages 67 Mbps, but the village reality is more variable, with cafe WiFi averaging 61 Mbps at the five best spots thanks largely to Coworksurf's dedicated fiber connection at Cathedral Point. Coffee costs just $2.00 per cup, and the entire walkable village fits within an eight-minute stroll from the harbor to the hillside guesthouses.
The small international surf community creates a tight-knit social environment where you know everyone within days. Monthly costs of $900 make Imsouane one of the cheapest coastal destinations in Africa, and the fresh seafood delivered daily from local fishermen keeps meal quality high at rock-bottom prices. English proficiency is medium, supported by the international surf crowd but limited in local shops where French and Darija dominate. The peaceful atmosphere and authentic Berber fishing village character offer a digital detox that doubles as productive deep-work time for writers, designers, and async workers.
No ATMs exist in the village, requiring cash withdrawals in Agadir before the two-hour drive. Power outages occur, WiFi fluctuates with weather and crowd levels, and no dedicated coworking spaces beyond the Coworksurf coliving operation have opened. Healthcare facilities are basic at best, with Agadir the nearest option for anything serious. The remote location far from airports means reaching Imsouane takes genuine effort, and the limited restaurant variety of roughly a dozen places total can feel repetitive after weeks. Morocco has no digital nomad visa, capping stays at the 90-day tourist stamp.
Tips for Working From Cafes in Imsouane
Coworksurf at Cathedral Point
The only dedicated work setup in Imsouane offers speeds up to 180 Mbps with ocean-view desks. As a coliving space, it combines accommodation with workspace, solving both connectivity and housing in one booking for nomads who need reliable video call capability.
Maroc Telecom for Rural Coverage
The only carrier with consistent 4G in Imsouane village. Buy a SIM in Agadir for 20-30 MAD and load 20 GB for 120-150 MAD monthly. Essential as your primary backup when guesthouse WiFi slows during evening peak hours.
Withdraw Cash in Agadir First
No ATMs operate in the village. Moroccan machines limit withdrawals to 2,000 MAD per transaction. Calculate your expected stay expenses and withdraw sufficient dirhams before the two-hour drive. Running out of cash means an inconvenient round trip.
Buy Every 2-3 Hours
Order a drink or snack every couple of hours to support the cafe and keep your seat.
Test WiFi First
Run a quick speed test before settling in to avoid surprises during important calls.
Visit Off-Peak
Arrive 8-11am or 3-5pm to grab the best seats and the fastest WiFi.
Bring Headphones
Noise-cancelling headphones are essential for blocking lunch rushes and chat.
Carry a Power Bank
Outlets aren't guaranteed everywhere โ a backup keeps you working.
Respect Quiet Zones
Take long video calls outside or in coworking spaces, not in quiet cafes.
