Surf Week in Essaouira - 7 Days with 12 Sessions & Riad Stay
About this experience
Learn to surf or progress over a full week in Essaouira, whose long, rolling waves make it one of the easiest places in Morocco to learn. Each day starts with breakfast at your riad in the medina before meeting at the surf club at 10:00. The spot of the day is chosen for your level and the swell: the morning brings a 2-hour coached session (warm-up, reading the ocean, paddling, take-off, stance and balance), and after lunch you have 3 hours of free practice to lock in what you learned, or to try stand-up paddle, kayak, bodyboard or surfskate. Back at the club at 17:00 for a debrief and a hot shower, then the evening is yours in the medina. The instructors, born and raised by this ocean, coach 1 to 4 surfers each.
