Morocco has many famous surf spots: heavy point breaks near Agadir, long reefs around Taghazout, wild beaches further south. For a first visit, those places can feel intimidating. Essaouira is different. The town is small and friendly, the medina is easy to navigate and the bay is forgiving. For travellers who are new both to surfing and to Morocco, a surf school Essaouira offers the smoothest introduction.
From the moment you arrive, everything is walkable. You can stay in a riad inside the walls and stroll to our surf school on the promenade in ten minutes. Our team explains how local taxis work, where to eat and how to dress comfortably while respecting local culture. On the water, we take you step by step from your first foam waves to your first green waves. You leave not only with surf skills, but also with a gentle first taste of Morocco that makes you want to explore more.
