OCEAN VAGABOND has been established in the Bay of Essaouira since 1995, and since 2004 has been home to Club Mistral-Skyriders. For your enjoyment, we have moved to the best spot: just before the bend on THE SPOT for waves, where the wind is at its most regular.

For much of the year, N-NE winds blow across the Bay of Essaouira, which runs from north to south. In short, it’s a perfect side-shore starboard spot. The NW swell is sheltered from the wind by the port’s sea wall and offers an ideal water surface for beginners. In the middle of the bay the water is choppier, and downwind in front of the centre, there are some nice waves which are ideal for "bump and jump".

And to help you appreciate this sport even more, Club Mistral offers you the cream of the year’s gear: we have Fanatic and Mistral floats with full carbon North Sails rigging, and the whole kitesurfing is school equipped with North gear. It’s all state-of-the-art! Red more here - http://www.oceanvagabond.com/essaouira_nautique-en.html

Attached to the "Club Mistral & Skyriders Centre", the Caribbean-themed restaurant is open from 9 am to 6 pm. You can eat lunch by the beach there at any time of day. A shady terrace sheltered from the wind, deckchairs facing the sea and a massage area are an invitation to relax.
