Sidi Kaouki sits 25km south of Essaouira and is one of the most consistent surf destinations on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. Unlike a single beach, it’s a stretch of coastline with multiple peaks — meaning we can always find the right wave for your level, whatever the conditions.
The bay at Essaouira itself offers sheltered, forgiving waves perfect for beginners on their first surf lesson. Sidi Kaouki delivers more power and variety as you progress. Between the two, we have access to some of the best surf in Morocco — and we know every metre of it. book now
We pick you up from your accommodation in Essaouira at 10am and drive to the best spot of the day.
At the beach, we kick off with a warm-up followed by a 2-hour surf lesson — covering everything from reading waves and paddling technique to your first pop-up or working on your turns, depending on your level. After your lesson, a traditional Moroccan lunch is served by the ocean. The afternoon is free surf time: practice what you’ve learned, explore the waves at your own pace, and enjoy the Atlantic with our team nearby.
We’re back in Essaouira around 5pm — tired, happy, and already thinking about the next session. book now

Every morning we check the swell, wind direction, and tide to find the best waves for your group that day. Sidi Kaouki has multiple spots along the coastline, so we have great flexibility to move between peaks and find the ideal conditions for your level. This is one of the things that makes our surf trips special — you always get the best possible session.

Yes! A traditional Moroccan lunch and drinks are included in the €50 per person price. We eat by the ocean or at a local restaurant near the surf spot. This is always one of the highlights of the day for our guests.
Absolutely! Many guests on our surf trips are complete beginners. The 2-hour lesson in the morning covers all the fundamentals you need to start catching waves. By the afternoon free surf session, most beginners are standing up and riding waves on their own. It's one of the most rewarding experiences you can have in Morocco.
