A surf camp Morocco is one of the best ways to combine learning to surf (or improving) with an authentic Moroccan experience. If you're wondering what to expect from a surf camp in Essaouira, this guide walks you through a typical week.
Day 1: Arrival & Settling In
Most surf camps in Essaouira include airport transfer from Essaouira or Marrakech. You'll check into your accommodation (from shared dorms to private Riads), meet the team and other campers, and get a brief on the week. Equipment is usually stored at the school, a short walk from Essaouira Beach.
Day 2–6: The Surf Routine
Typical schedule: breakfast at your accommodation, then shuttle to the beach. Morning surf lessons (around 2–3 hours) with IKO-certified instructors. All equipment is provided. After lunch you might have a second session, join a yoga class, or explore the Medina. Evenings are free—many camps organize group dinners so you can taste local tagines and meet other guests.
What's Included in a Surf Camp Package?
Usually: accommodation, breakfast, daily surf lessons or guided surf, board and wetsuit, and often airport transfer. Some packages include extra activities (yoga, trips to Sidi Kaouki or Imsouane). Check with your surf school Essaouira for exact inclusions.
Who Is It For?
Surf camps in Morocco suit everyone from complete beginners to intermediate surfers who want to progress. Solo travelers love the social side; groups and families can book private accommodation. You don't have to surf every day—rest days for Medina exploring or quad biking are part of the experience.
