Guia em português — escola surf Essaouira. Reserva no WhatsApp com datas e nível.
Essaouira is nicknamed the Windy City for a reason. The Alizés (NE vento alísio) combine with a thermal boost as inland desert heats — by 14:00 the bay fills with side-shore vento ideal for kitesurf and wingfoil, while manhãs often stay glassy for surf.
Monthly vento strength (typical)
- April–May: building season, 12–20 knots tardes
- June–August: peak, 18–28+ knots most days
- September–October: still strong, warmer water, fewer crowds
- November–March: variable; surf-focused, vento days mixed
