The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Well, I gotta be straight with ya – this 16-day window for Asilah is a tough one. We’ve got a long dry spell of pretty ordinary conditions before any real hope shows up. The water's sitting at 71°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent spring suit.
Looking right across the board, the first real chance to get a wave that’s worth the paddle-in is Saturday morning, the 12th of September. We’ll see a small 3ft swell from the NE, but it’s short-period stuff at 6 seconds, so it’ll be weak and a bit mushy. The combined swell energy is only moderate (81). The real positive here is a solid offshore wind from the ENE at 16 mph, so it’ll be clean, but with that low period and small size, the quality is still very ordinary. It’s a beginner-friendly height, though, so if you’re just getting wet, it’s an option.
We then slide into a few days of tiny surf – nothing really pulsing – until we get to Monday the 21st of September morning. That's a slight uptick, with 5ft from the NW, but the period is still short at 6 seconds, giving us moderate energy (182). Light offshore wind from the ENE keeps it clean, but again, it’s not exactly turning heads.
The true standout of this entire period is the morning of Tuesday the 22nd of September. Now we’re talking. The swell jumps to 5ft from the NW, with a much better 9-second period (moderate groundswell). The combined energy jumps to a strong 389, so there’s some proper power in the water. The wind is a clean offshore from the ENE at 16 mph, which should keep the surface buttery. That 5ft is pushing the limit for beginners, but for intermediate and above, this is the morning to have your eye on. It’s the best looking surf of the whole outlook – promising, but still a week and a half out, so keep an ear to the ground.
After that, the forecast fades back into tiny, blown-out junk for the rest of the window, with strong winds from the 23rd onwards making any surf a messy chore.
So, in short: a lot of flat or average days, but circle Tuesday the 22nd of September for the best chance at a decent session.
Stay stoked, or just stay patient.
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.
