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
Discover 5 reasons why Essaouira is one of the best places to learn kitesurfing in Morocco, from consistent wind and beginner-friendly conditions to professional instruction and an unforgettable coastal experience.
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.

First surfing experience, and it was truly amazing. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and, above all, very patient with us, even though we were just beginners. Surfing in the ocean in Essaouira, especially in February, was truly captivating and an experience I'd repeat. We paid €30 for an hour, which I think was fair. Highly recommended!

It was our first time experiencing the surfing in Esaaouira when we found Nenea walking around the city. With the first approach we’ve felt already that there was a really good vibe from the other side and really honest with us. They weren’t trying to sell us their course, they were actually trying to give us the best experience. So we decided to book the class for the next day when there was better swell to have a better surfing experience. We had the class with Hasan who stayed always attentive and very helpful giving us good advices. It was my second surf class and he spotted exactly where I could improve and what I was getting wrong from the very first moment. Next time I’m around Essaouira I’d definitely contact the guys in order to keep enjoying with very nice people around.
