All Surf guides
Two guides to prepare your surfing trip to Essaouira: compare the spots according to your level and the conditions, then understand how to progress in the bay when you start.
Essaouira offers three very different configurations depending on where you surf: the bay for learning, Sidi Kaouki for progressing, Imsouane for the long right-handers. Knowing which one corresponds to your level changes everything to the quality of your stay: arriving in Imsouane with 2 surf sessions under your belt is not the same experience as arriving with a solid intermediate level.
These guides are based on what our instructors see every season: the classic mistakes, the recurring questions, and the decisions that turn a frustrating week into a smooth stay.
