The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
It’s a slow burn to start. The first few days are mostly a mess with onshore winds. The real action starts to build from the later part of the first week, with a couple of clean windows that are worth setting an alarm for.
On Saturday, July 18th, the morning goes glassy. The swell is a modest 3ft from the WNW with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak (73). It’s surfable, but just ordinary. The water temp is 71°, which is about where we’d expect it to be for July.
The standout of the first week is the morning of Tuesday, July 21st. Glassy conditions with an offshore wind from the west. The swell is 4ft from the WNW, still a short 6 seconds, but the combined energy climbs to a moderate 118. It’s clean, but the waves are nothing special.
The real buzz starts in the second week. The best window of the entire forecast is the morning of Monday, July 27th. We’re looking at glassy conditions with an offshore breeze from the ENE. The swell is 4ft from the WNW with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits a strong 225. This is a true standout—expect good, clean surf. The afternoon shifts to a cross-offshore wind from the NE, with the swell period stretching to 9 seconds, adding a bit more punch. The energy is still strong at 177, but it gets a little wind-affected.
Tuesday, July 28th morning is a solid backup. Clean offshore wind from the ESE, with a 4ft WNW swell at 8 seconds and 177 combined energy. Clean, solid waves.
Later in the month, around July 30th and 31st, a bigger pulse of swell arrives, with heights up to 5ft and combined energy jumping to 267 to 416. It’s strong, but the wind is cross-on or onshore, making it choppy and poor. This is for the experienced crew only.
Keep your eyes on the morning of the 27th, and the 28th morning is a good backup. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty.

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.
Asilah is 6 km (4 miles) from the city of Asilah. If you plan a holiday in Tangier to Rabat, look for hotels and other accommodation in Asilah. Asilah has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
