The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk Asilah.
Look, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is pretty bleak. We've got a long stretch of poor surf conditions, with hardly anything worth paddling out for. The only glimmer I see is way out on Sunday, July 19th, but even that is just "surfable" – nothing to write home about. The water's a bit colder than usual for this time of year, sitting at about 69°F, roughly 3°F below average.
For the most part, we're looking at small, weak swell – mostly around 1ft to 4ft – coming from the WNW, but the wind is nearly always cross-onshore or choppy. Monday the 13th through Saturday the 18th are a total write-off: no score above zero, with tiny waves and bumpy conditions. There's a real gap in any kind of quality surf until that Sunday morning.
Sunday, July 19th morning: that's your best shot. The wind goes glassy – calm – and we've got 3ft of WNW swell at 7 seconds. Combined energy is 64, so it's weak to moderate. The conditions are described as "surfable waves but very ordinary". That's the only time the score even hits a 1 out of 10. It's a beginner-friendly setup at Asilah, but with crowds often around, don't expect to have it to yourself.
After that, it's back to tiny, wind-affected dribble through the rest of the week and into the second week. The swell gets a little bigger around July 27th, hitting 4ft and combined energy of 181, but the wind stays cross-on. That's still poor surf conditions, so no good.
Honestly, if you're itching for a paddle, save your energy for that Sunday morning. Otherwise, it's a long wait. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a quiet period for Asilah.
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.
