The Atlantic greets you bluntly at Jack Beach — a low-angled arc of sand off Dar Bouazza where steady beach-break waves roll in like a metronome. On a lesson day the coach times sets, whistles instructions, and the sea pushes new nervous surfers toward the whitewater; photographers edge along the surfline, their lenses catching the moment a runner of foam lifts a board and a grin.

Bring a wetsuit
Atlantic water can be cool year-round; a 3/2mm wetsuit is usually sufficient in spring and fall, 4/3mm if you run cold.
Arrive on low tide for gentler whitewater
Instructors often favor mid-to-low tides for beginner-friendly whitewater; check tide times and ask the operator.
Hydrate and snack beforehand
A light carbohydrate snack and water before the lesson will help stamina during repeated paddling and pop-ups.
Protect electronics
Leave phones and keys in the locked changing room provided, or use waterproof pouches if needed on the sand.
3/2mm or 4/3mm wetsuit
Keeps you warm during instruction and increases time in the water.
spring
Rash guard or surf top
Protects skin from sun and board abrasion during repeated practice.
summer
Waterproof phone case or dry bag

Board leash and soft-top beginner board (if renting)
A leash prevents lost boards; soft-tops are safer and more stable for learners.
