1. Essaouira
The wide sandy beach in the city is the perfect kite spot in the city. Did you know that March is a great month to kite in Essaouira? Yes, what you heard, in Essaouira you will find the perfect conditions to kiteboard in March!
A spot of more than 10 kilometres of the extensive virgin beach where we find trade winds as the main engine of kitesurfing and windsurf, the wind is known as the “Chergui,” giving excellent conditions area. The winds are from the right and side offshore in this area, reaching more than 30 knots in summer. The area closest to the town is the area with flatter waters, while the area further downwind is the area with the highest waves.
Essaouira beach is perfect for all levels. It is a fairly closed bay; the wind pushes there in the coast direction where there are no rocks, so it is a fairly safe spot. The wind, a bit gusty, sometimes enters here from the side, moderate in the morning and strong in the afternoon. The waves tend to have little force, very good for jumping or learning to surf: To the left of the beach, near a rock, the wind a little more from the sea and very constant allows the best jumps. When there are no waves at all, it is also a perfect spot for beginners or to sail quietly between the beach and Mogador’s island.
Important … Don’t forget your wetsuit !!! The water here is quite cold !!!
To the south of the city is Sidi Kaouki, with constant winds and a virgin beach. It is not suitable for beginners. It has mixed rock and sand bottoms.
