About Wetsuit Rental in Morocco
Morocco surprises people with cold water. The latitude suggests warm; the Canary Current does not deliver it. Water sits around 20-21C in late summer and drops to roughly 16-18C in January and February, which is a wetsuit year round.
The practical answer is a 3/2 from about May to October and a 4/3 from November to April, with boots rarely necessary and a hood almost never. People who feel the cold take the 4/3 a month earlier at each end. Air temperature misleads badly here: a 28C afternoon in October still has 20C water, and a dawn session in January is cold before you get in.
Rental suits get heavy use, so check the seals and the zip and try it on rather than taking the size on the label. Almost every camp includes a suit in the price — rent separately only if you are travelling independently, and ask what thickness they are actually handing out for the month you are there.
Who it suits
Independent travellers without a camp package, winter visitors who need thicker rubber than they own, and anyone whose own suit is not worth the baggage.
What to check before you book
- How long it runs door to door, not just the time in the water or on the road.
- Group size, and whether the price is per person or for the whole group.
- What is included — equipment, entry fees, lunch — and what is paid on the day.
- Where it starts, and whether pick-up from your accommodation is part of it.
- What happens if the weather stops it: a refund, another date, or nothing.
Where to find this in Morocco
The coast this marketplace covers runs from Mehdia in the north to Sidi Ifni in the south. These are the places to start looking:
- Taghazout — The village that turned Moroccan surfing into an industry
- Tamraght — Quieter than Taghazout, and where most first lessons actually happen
- Agadir — Where you land, and a long city beach that works when the coast is huge
- Imsouane — The longest, gentlest wave in Morocco
- Essaouira — Wind city — a walled medina with world-class kite and windsurf
