Packing the right gear for Essaouira can save your trip. The conditions are unique.
Ideally, bring a 7m, 9m, and 12m quiver. If you only bring one, make it a 9m (for 75kg rider). The wind is dense and strong.
Even in summer, the Atlantic is cool (18°C). A 3/2mm or 4/3mm full suit is standard year-round. Shorties are rarely used unless you run very hot.
