- 1 day: €25, the best choice if you want a morning and an afternoon session.

How to choose the right surfboard
Our team matches a board to your weight, height and experience. As a general rule:
- Beginners: a bigger, more buoyant board is more stable, catches waves earlier and is more forgiving.
- Improvers: a mid-sized board keeps some stability while you work on your turns.
- Experienced surfers: a shorter, more responsive board rewards precise surfing in good waves.
Tell us how often you have surfed and what conditions you enjoy, and we will help you choose.

Best Time to Rent a Board in Essaouira
Essaouira has waves through much of the year, and the best time to rent a board depends on the kind of session you are looking for. Swell is generally more consistent from autumn to spring, while summer brings strong trade winds that are perfect for kitesurfing but make surfing more demanding in the afternoon.
Early morning is usually the most comfortable time for a rental session, before the wind builds. Before you paddle out, ask our team for the current conditions: they check swell, tide and wind every day and will tell you which spot suits your level.
Surf Etiquette and Safety in the Water
- Priority: the surfer closest to the breaking part of the wave has priority. Never drop in on someone who is already riding.
- Know your limits: choose waves that match your level and stay closer to the beach if you feel unsure.
- Control your board: hold on to it in white water and keep it out of the way of other surfers and swimmers.
- Watch the current: if you drift away from your spot, paddle across the current rather than against it, and ask our team where the safest exits are.
- Share the waves: a smile and a wave of the hand go a long way in the lineup.
