Essaouira
Kitesurf capital of Morocco. Artists' town, very windy, cool Atlantic. Three hours from Marrakech for a coast day.
A decent stretch with some sun and a chance of a shower.
Days 1–5 are usually reliable, 6–10 drift, 11–14 are the model guessing. Check again the day before you fly — more on what this can and can't do.
When to go
From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.Constant alizé trade wind — the kitesurf draw. The sea barely reaches 21°C (Canary Current upwelling); even August water is 19–20°C. April–June and September–October are the most pleasant windows for everyone who isn't on a board.
