Packing for a Moroccan surf trip is an art form. Du need to prepare for strong sun, refreshing ocean temperatures, and a culture that values modesty. Dieser guide will ensure you arrive in Essaouira with everything you need and nothing you don't.

Surf trip essentials

In the Water: Der Essentials

Even though Essaouira is in Africa, the Atlantic is cold due to the Canary Current. A 3/2mm Neoprenanzug is the standard "all-year" suit. If you're sensitive to cold or visiting in Jan/Feb, a 4/3mm might be more comfortable. While we provide Neoprenanzüge for all our students, bringing dein own can ensure a perfect fit.

Sun Protection: Don't Underestimate the Atlantic Sun

Der constant breeze (Alizés) can make the sun feel much cooler than it actually is. Wir recommend Zinc-based sunscreen for dein face. It stays on in the water and provides a physical barrier. Don't forget a good "Rash Vest" to prevent chafing from the Surfbrett and the sun.

On Land: Respect and Comfort

Essaouira is a relaxed city, but it's important to respect local traditions. In the Medina, it's best to avoid very revealing clothes. Light, breathable layers are dein best friend. Even in summer, the evenings can be cool because of the Wind and humidity, so a light sweater or jacket is essential.

Der "Must-Pack" List

  • Dry Bag: Essential for keeping dein valuables sand-free at the Strand.
  • Reusable Water Bottle: Help us reduce plastic waste in our beautiful bay.
  • Universal Adapter: Marokko uses Type C and E plugs (European standard).
  • Lip Balm with SPF: Salt and Wind will dry dein lips out fast!
