Lista completa para vacaciones de surf, kitesurf o wingfoil en Essaouira.

What the School Provides

All lesson and package prices include professional equipment — do not pack boards or kites unless you prefer your own gear:

  • Surf: soft-top or hardboard, leash, wax, wetsuit (3/2 or 4/3mm by season)
  • Kitesurf: kite, bar, harness, board, helmet, impact vest, wetsuit
  • Wingfoil: wing, foil, board, helmet, impact vest, wetsuit
  • Day trips: transport to Sidi Kaouki, spot briefing, all surf gear

Essential Gear to Pack

These items make your Essaouira holiday comfortable and session-ready:

  • Reef-safe sunscreen SPF 50+ (apply before every session)
  • Two sets of swimwear — one drying while you wear the other
  • Quick-dry microfibre towel (hotel towels are often small)
  • Sunglasses with strap — Essaouira wind is persistent
  • Reusable water bottle — stay hydrated between sessions
  • Waterproof phone pouch for beach and boat trips
  • Basic first aid: blister plasters, ear drops, pain relief

Clothes by Season

Essaouira is windy year-round — evenings feel cooler than the thermometer suggests.

  • Summer (Jun–Aug): t-shirts, shorts, light dress for medina, warm hoodie for evenings
  • Shoulder (Mar–May, Sep–Nov): layers, light rain jacket, jeans or trousers for evenings
  • Winter (Dec–Feb): warm jacket, fleece, closed shoes, beanie for post-surf warmth

Documents & Travel Apps

Passport valid 6+ months. Morocco offers visa-free entry for EU, UK, US, and many other nationalities (check before travel). Print or save PDF of booking confirmation and travel insurance.

  • Windguru or Windy — daily wind forecasts
  • Magicseaweed — swell charts for surf trips
  • WhatsApp — our primary booking communication
  • Google Maps offline — medina navigation
  • Revolut or cash euros/dirhams — many riads prefer cash

Pro Tips from Our Instructors

Fly into Marrakech (RAK) for more flight options — our packages include transfer (2.5h). Pack a soft board bag only if bringing your own surfboard. Leave expensive jewellery at home — sand and salt are relentless.

Consider our gift card for travel companions — surf camp vouchers make ideal presents for birthdays and holidays.
