The spot at Essaouira

The slightly descending, sandy bottom and a shallow water area near the shore enable a comfortable launch. During low tide the sea pulls back about 150 metres, which makes the way to the water edge longer. Other wave spots like Moulay and Sidi Kaouki (20 minutes drive) give variety and make sure that you never get bored! The centre organises excursions to the wave spots upon request. Even if the water temperate (17-20 °C) cannot be compared to the Carribean, Essaouira offers appealing conditions, ample space and an 80% wind guarantee.

The wind blows sideshore from the right. Some days it is a bit gusty and turns slightly offshore at wind speeds of more than 7 Beaufort. Between June and August the thermal enforces the trade wind, creating more challenging conditions for kitesurfers. Downwind of the centre, the wave conditions are particularly great in spring and autumn (1-2 metres). Due to the strong wind, the waves are slightly smaller from mid June to August (0.5-1 metres). Beginners and speed surfers are in good hands further upwind of the bay.

Essaouira

Essaouira is a coastal city with beaches as far as the eye can see and is Moroccos premier kitesurfing location. The architecture of the old town is strongly influenced by Portuguese military and French and Berber culture. Explore the narrow alleys, white chalked houses, blue doors, peaceful squares, cosy cafés, stalls and workshops out of which the characteristic smell of Thuja wood escapes. In Essaouira the atmosphere is truly unique and easygoing. The kite centre is located on a long strech of sandy beach, just a twenty minute walk from the Medina. There is a bar and restaurant at the centre, where you can relax.
