The beach of Essaouira is a renowned tourist attraction for water sports enthusiasts, especially surfers, windsurfers, and kite-surfers. This beach may not be the best for traditional swimming, especially since the water can be chilly (about 20°C or 68° F in summer and a few degrees cooler in winter), but what it lacks in water temperature it makes up for in winds that make it perfect for these sports. The waves tend to range between 1/2 to 2 1/2m high (up to 5m in the winter) and these waves can be found within a 25km radius of Essaouira. Even the world’s professional kite surfers come to this beach; its even been one of the locations of the Kiteboarding World Cup. This event usually takes place in July, therefore for those interested in kiteboarding, July would be a great time to plan a trip to Essaouira.
If you are wanting to give these sports a try there are lessons available for every sport ranging in price from Dh60 to Dh300 per hour depending on the length of time and sport to be taught. For those interested, there are numerous vendors to rent equipment from, but if you are planning on traveling here during February through April you may want to pre-book equipment rentals since this is Essaouira’s high tourist season. Come prepared with your wetsuit and witness winds that will create a surfing experience like never before.
