Sidi Kaouki is a fishing village with 6 km of sandy beach and consistent Atlantic swell. Essaouira Surf School runs daily shuttles from Plage d'Essaouira (45–40 min drive, 25 km via R301). GPS beach centre: 31.3542° N, 9.7891° W.
Why beginners love Kaouki
Long, mellow sandbanks with space between peaks — less crowded than the city bay in peak season. Whitewater rides are longer, so you get more reps per session.
Conditions & season
Works year-round; summer is forgiving, autumn adds shoulder-high sets for improvers. NW wind can chop afternoons — we schedule Kaouki mornings when possible.
Transport from Essaouira
Shared school van (max 8) or meet-on-site if you have a rental. Pick-up points: school beach hut or medina gate by arrangement. Allow 35 minutes door-to-sand.
