Essaouira, Morocco » spot info
Our Club Mistral and Skyriders centre is in the middle of a long curved sandy bay (4 km long), only about 8-10 minutes' walk from the Medina. It is centrally located on the southern edge of the town of Essaouira and in the immediate vicinity of several hotels on the seafront boulevard.
You can launch your kite directly in front of the centre. At low tide, the sea recedes about 150 m. The spot is absolutely ideal for wave novices. The sandy bottom shelves gently, ensuring easy access for wave novices and creating a shallow area near the edge.
The wind (northeasterly trade wind) blows sideshore from the right, sometimes veering to slightly offshore at Force 7 or more (north to northeast). In the summer months, i.e. June - August, thermal action accelerates the trade wind, creating demanding conditions for kitesurfers.
