Sidi Kaouki Surf Trip from Essaouira — Complete Guide

About Sidi Kaouki Waves

Sidi Kaouki sits 25 km south of Essaouira along a wild Atlantic coastline. Long sandy beaches, consistent swell, and far fewer crowds than Taghazout make it one of Morocco's best day-trip surf destinations. Breaks range from mellow beach breaks for beginners to punchy peaks for intermediate riders.

Our instructors read swell, wind, and tide each morning before choosing the optimal Sidi Kaouki peak for your group. When Essaouira Bay is too windy in the afternoon, Sidi Kaouki often delivers cleaner surf windows.

Best Conditions for Sidi Kaouki

Sidi Kaouki works best on west to northwest swells with light to moderate wind. Autumn and winter (September–March) bring the most consistent surf. Summer mornings can produce fun smaller waves before the trade wind builds.

We monitor Magicseaweed and Windguru daily. If conditions are poor, we reschedule at no charge or offer an Essaouira Bay session alternative.
