Asilah Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for your stretch of coast around Asilah, and honestly, it’s a tough run. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and messy for the most part, with the odd little window that feels more like a tease than a proper session. There’s a long gap of nothing rideable from now until the tail end of August, so don’t bother checking the surf until we get into the last few days of the month.

The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Friday, 28 August. Asilah (Morocco) sees a small WNW swell of 4 ft, with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy is moderate (162). The water temp is sitting around 74°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The wind swings offshore from the ENE at just 3 mph, and the wave comment says it’s "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It’s not going to be pumping, but it’s clean, and after so many days of junk, that counts for something. The afternoon cleans up even more with a cross-off breeze from the NNE at 6 mph, though the swell drops a touch to 3 ft.

Then there’s another gap of nothing until the morning of Wednesday, 2 September. That morning, the wind is glassy from the WSW at 3 mph, and the swell is 4 ft from the NW at 6 seconds—moderate energy (125). Again, the wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It’s clean, but the period is short, so don’t expect much push. It’s a beginner-friendly wave size, but with that short period, you’ll be working for every little ride.

The best session on offer? That’s the Friday 28 August morning. The offshore wind and clean conditions make it the standout, even if the swell is nothing special. It’s a rare moment of peace in an otherwise choppy, windy forecast. If you’ve got a longboard or a funboard, you might get a few fun ones. Don’t expect anything thrilling, but it’s better than sitting on the beach watching the wind howl.

Rusty.
