The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the Asilah region.
Honestly, for the next couple of weeks, it’s looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy surf ahead. The swell is just not cooperating, and the wind is mostly ruining whatever small bumps there are. There’s a bit of a pulse on the horizon, but it’s a long way off and not certain.
The first real chance to get wet is a quiet one. On Friday morning (7 August), Asilah will see a tiny 3ft swell from the west-northwest, pushing in with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak (85). The big positive here is the glassy wind. That’ll make the surface clean, even if the waves are small and weak. The water is sitting at 73°, which is bang on average for this time of year – no surprises there. It’s rideable, but you'll be groveling for sure.
After that, the outlook gets really bleak. From Friday afternoon right through to the end of the second week, it’s nearly all poor conditions. The wind is a constant problem – mostly cross-onshore and choppy. The swell stays tiny, mostly under 3ft, and the period is short, so there’s just no real energy. There’s a couple of mornings with glassy or light offshore wind, like Tuesday morning (11 August) and Wednesday morning (12 August), but the swell is so small and weak you’d be lucky to find a rideable wave. This is a long stretch of nothing.
Now, there is one thing that pops up near the end. On Saturday morning, 22 August, we’ve got a bit of a spike. The swell jumps to 5ft from the west-northwest, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy hits 316 (moderate), which is the biggest we’ve seen. The wind is light and offshore from the west, which would clean it up. The morning looks marginal but potentially the best of a bad bunch. That 5ft is on the edge of being too big for beginners, but for a competent surfer on a bigger board, it could be fun. The crowd factor at Asilah is “often”, so don’t expect to have it alone if it actually shows. Keep in mind, this is way out at the 16-day mark, so treat it as a promising idea rather than a sure thing.
For now, it’s one of those times where you’re better off waiting for the forecasts to change. It tends not to stay this poor for long.

Information about the Asilah Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Asilah provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Asilah can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Asilah surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Asilah) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Asilah may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
