The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and Fahrenheit.
Let's be real about the 16-day stretch for Asilah. It's a pretty grim outlook. The first few days are a total bust, and we're looking at a big gap of poor conditions from the 28th of August all the way through to the 10th of September. That's a long, frustrating run of flat or messy, choppy waves.
Your one and only standout is the morning of the 12th of September. Mark it down. The swell is tiny, only about 2ft from the WNW, but it's packing some serious punch with a very long period of 17 seconds. The combined swell energy is moderate (237). That long period means the waves will have shape and power, but it's a small wave, so it's better for a longboard or a funboard. The wind is a light offshore from the NNE, giving us clean conditions. The crowd profile is "often," so expect company.
The only other sessions worth mentioning are the mornings of the 29th, 30th, and 31st of August, plus the 10th of September. Don't get excited – these are all tiny, weak waves (3ft to 3ft) with combined swell energy between 55 and 87. The real draw is the wind is glassy or light offshore, so the surface will be like a mirror. It's surfable, but "very ordinary" is the polite way to put it.
The water temperature is about 75°, which is roughly 1° warmer than usual for this time of year. Normal for the season.
So, for the next two weeks, don't get worked up. This is a classic flat spell for the area. Forecasts can change, so keep your eyes open, but for now, that morning of the 12th of September is your best and only real shot at something decent.
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.
