Guida in italiano — scuola surf Essaouira. Prenota su WhatsApp per date e livello.
Most days are Alizé; a few times per season Chergui (hot south-east vento) arrives with dust and chaotic gusts. Wind Essaouira then feels nothing like the usual side-shore playprenota — schools pause kite and wing, sometimes surf too if onshore slop dominates.
Signs Chergui is coming
- Forecast swing to SE with rising temperature
- Hazy sky, sand in air, sticky heat
- Harbour flags flapping irregularly
Professional centres cancel rather than teach in unsafe gust bands. Use medina days for culture, hammam, or gear shopping. Essaouira surf weather returns to normal within 24–72 hours typically.
