Surf trip essentials

In the Water: Il Essentials

Even though Essaouira is in Africa, the Atlantic is cold due to the Canary Current. A 3/2mm muta 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 mute for all our students, bringing tuo own can ensure a perfect fit.

Sun Protection: Don't Underestimate the Atlantic Sun

Il constant breeze (Alizé) can make the sun feel much cooler than it actually is. Noi recommend Zinc-based sunscreen for tuo face. It stays on in the water and provides a physical barrier. Don't forget a good "Rash Vest" to prevent chafing from the tavola da surf 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 tuo best friend. Even in summer, the evenings can be cool because of the vento and humidity, so a light sweater or jacket is essential.

Il "Must-Pack" List

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