Kitesurf Essaouira Morocco

Our annual Kitesurf Essaouira Morocco Camp is organised every year in June & July.

Essaouira is a spot with different beaches for everyone – beginners and advanced kite surfers alike- and, from April to October, the strong, dependable winds, strengthened by thermal effects, accompanied by reduced swell and, therefore, smaller waves, makes it a really safe spot, because you always end up back on the sandy beach without obstacles.

Kitesurf Essaouira: Spot Details

A huge, ca. 4 km long and up to 800 meters wide, crescent-shaped sandy beach where wind blows from the right side-shore and side on-shore.

With sandy bottom for miles and open ocean and deep water; from May to October, “The city of the trade winds” delivers strong wind daily, from morning to late afternoon.

Our main spot will be 2 miles downwind from Essaouira Bay, only accessible with 4×4 cars; this beach receives steady wind and is far from the crowds.
