Morocco - City by City

Essaouira: the town of the wind

Located on the Atlantic , Essaouira has become a home to all lovers of the wind. Windsurfers and kite surfers will find the dream conditions here to enjoy their favourite sport, all year long!

On this Atlantic coast of Morocco , the northeast trade wind, the cherkin, regularly blows from March to November. It becomes stronger from mid-June to mid-September when the most beautiful waves are formed from spring to autumn. Although the temperature of the water may sometimes be a little cool in winter – 16 or 17°C -, the air temperature never falls below 21°C even in the middle of January.

At the entrance to the town, Essaouira beach stretches out over several kilometres. In this protected bay, you will have as much fun jumping over as surfing over the waves. Water sports clubs offer all the facilities needed to windsurf, surf and kite surf. The latter is a sport that is rapidly developing. The first national kite surf championships hosted here in 2005 were a great success.

The beaches outside the town are just as magnificent. Sidi Kaouki, 14 km south of the town is know as a good surfing spot, as is Moulay Bouzerktoune, 25 km to the north of Essaouira, which also offers very good waves. But be careful, these beaches are not supervised and can be dangerous, so are for experienced surfers only!
