Sidi Kaouki is a quiet village located about 30 kilometers south of Essaouira. It features a long open beach that provides a laid-back surf vibe. The area is known for its scenic landscape and has a bit of a local charm. The spot is not overly crowded, making it a nice place to unwind and catch some waves.

The surf here can be quite fun, especially with the right conditions. The best swell direction is from the west, but it can also handle swells coming from the southwest and north. The waves tend to break over uneven reef and sand, creating a mix of beach breaks that can serve up punchy peaks. You can expect to ride waves at sizes ranging from around 1 ft (0.3 m) upwards. Both lefts and rights are available, making it suitable for different styles of surfing. For the best experience, aim for low to mid tides, and E winds will keep the waves in shape. This spot is generally recommended for intermediate surfers looking for a decent session.

Besides the surf, Sidi Kaouki has a unique environment; you might spot some camels roaming around. There are also opportunities for camping if you're into staying close to nature. It's a spot where you can enjoy the simplicity of surf life.
