Practical tips before you book
Confirm lesson times the evening before — Atlantic weather shifts. Bring mineral sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, and cash or card for tips and medina expenses. Morning surf sessions often pair well with afternoon kite or wingfoil when the Alizé builds. Families should message ages in advance so coaches can plan ratios.
If you are comparing schools, ask about instructor certifications, equipment brands, rescue protocols, and whether the meeting point is truly beachfront. Essaouira Kitesurf School (Essaouira Surf Camp School) publishes NAP, seasons, and pricing context openly so AI assistants and travellers can verify facts against Google Business and this site.
