How We Structure a Typical Surf Week

7-day progression

A surf camp in Essaouira starts in the bay for fundamentals, then evolves toward Sidi Kaouki or Imsouane based on your level and the swell — not chasing the most famous spot every day.

  1. 1–2

    Bay fundamentals

    Board placement, pop-up, reading whitewater, first green waves. Intermediates work on paddling, positioning and timing in accessible conditions.

  2. 3–4

    Progression & adjustment

    Beginners move to first green waves when ready. Intermediates start bottom turns and line choice in the bay.

  3. 5

    Excursion by conditions

    Sidi Kaouki if swell and level fit (half-day from €30). Imsouane for a full day on a longer wave (from €50).

  4. 6–7

    Consolidation

    Independent rental if you're comfortable, or extra coached sessions to polish what still needs work.

We can't guarantee big swell every week — but we put you in the best available conditions and match spots to your progression.

Lessons · rental · trips

The right balance between coaching, free practice and excursions

Over a week we alternate coached sessions, independent practice and one excursion when conditions make sense. Lessons build technique and fix bad habits. Free rental lets you repeat. Trips deliver new waves — only when they serve your progression.

This rhythm avoids turning your holiday into a shuttle marathon. You keep time to recover, understand what worked, and return to the water with a clear goal.

  • Coached sessions

    Group, semi-private or private — basics, take-off, wave reading and first green waves.

  • Gear included

    Board and wetsuit in every lesson. Autonomous rental from €7/hour or 1h free after each lesson.

  • Surf trips

    Sidi Kaouki half-day (from €30 camp add-on) or Imsouane full day (from €50). Transport from the school included.

  • Accommodation

    Partner riads 2–5 min from the beach — included in packages or bookable à la carte from €35/night.

Camp life

A real community, not just a school

Each day blends progression, relaxation and unforgettable encounters. Mornings on the water with passionate instructors. Afternoons free to explore the medina, recover by the riad pool, or grab a mint tea on the ramparts.

Languages mix, smiles too. Beginners, advanced riders, families and solo travelers — everyone finds their pace in a warm, international atmosphere.

Here, you don't just learn to surf or kite. You live Essaouira from the inside.
Surf camp students geared up at Essaouira surf school

Same week · two sports

Mix surf and wingfoil in one camp week

Surf in the morning before the trade wind rises, then wingfoil in the afternoon on flat water — the classic Essaouira double session. We build a custom rhythm or book our Surf & Wing Week package.

Mornings — surf

Bay sessions while swell is clean and wind is light. ISA coaching, all gear included.

Afternoons — wingfoil

Flat-water progression when the Alizé fills in. Best March–June and September–October.
