Guides from our instructors in Essaouira
Everything our students ask us before they arrive — how long it takes to learn, when the wind blows, which spot suits your level, and what to put in your bag.
Spot & season
The season runs from mid-February to the end of December and the bay is windy almost all year. Here is what each part of the year actually feels like on the water.
Spot & season
A wide sandy bay, side-shore wind almost every day, and a town you actually want to spend the evening in. What makes this spot work for beginners.
Spot & season
The main bay is where you learn. These are the spots we drive to when the swell picks up or you are ready for something with more shape.
Spot & season
Why the bay is windy almost every afternoon, why mornings are often calmer, and how to read a forecast so you know what your day will look like.

It wasn't just a vacation. It was my best solo trip. I booked a week with Nanea Kite, and they organized everything: hotel, kitesurfing lessons, and, most importantly, an experience that went far beyond my expectations. From day one, I felt welcomed, as if I were already part of the group. The people at Nanea are open, kind, helpful, and incredibly friendly. I thought I was coming here to learn and improve my kitesurfing, but I found myself in a family environment, where I met fantastic people and made new friends. A special thanks goes to Mohamed, my instructor: precise, competent, and very attentive, yet flexible and able to adapt to my level. Thanks to his method, I was able to progress quickly, but always gradually and, above all, safely. And that's what I appreciated most: feeling supported without ever feeling like I was being pushed beyond my limits. The hotel was also perfect: in the heart of Essaouira's medina, ideally located for experiencing the city and easily reaching everything you need. I didn't find a single negative about this experience. In fact, Nanea Kite gave me much more than I was looking for: it allowed me to improve my kitesurfing, but above all, to meet real people, make connections, and have an experience I'll carry with me forever. I left alone and came back richer and with new friends. I'll be back; in fact, I've already booked my flight for December. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart to the entire Nanea Kite team. I couldn't have asked for more. See you soon! 😎 💪🏼 !! SUELTA LA BARRA !! _____________________ It wasn’t simply a holiday. It was the best solo trip I’ve ever taken.

I didn't find a single negative aspect of this experience. Quite the opposite: Nanea Kite gave me much more than what I was looking for. It allowed me to improve my kitesurfing, but above all, to meet genuine people, make real connections and live an experience that I will carry with me. I arrived on my own and came back richer, with new friends. I'll be back — in fact, I've already booked my flight for December. A heartfelt thank you to the entire Nanea Kite team. I couldn't have asked for anything better. See you soon! 😎💪🏼 !! RELEASE THE BAR!!
