Essaouira runs on Africa/Casablanca, which puts the city UTC +1 from Coordinated Universal Time right now.

Around 450,527 people live in Essaouira, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 07:09 and sunset at 08:14 local time, giving 13h 05m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (31.51, -9.76) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Essaouira.
