Bluboarding clients surfing at Imsouane with consistent wave series rolling in during a guided day trip from Essaouira.

Imsouane Trip

Full-day trip to Imsouane, home to one of Morocco's longest right-hand point breaks. The wave peels for hundreds of meters along the bay, making it ideal for longboarding and intermediate surfers looking for long, clean rides.

Transport from Essaouira (about 1.5 hours each way), guide, and surf session included. All levels welcome. Runs when swell direction favors the point, typically October to April.

Transport, guide, and session included. Open to all levels. Runs year-round, with the best surf from October to March and the best kite wind from June to September.
