The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
We’ve got Asilah, a beginner-friendly spot that’s fairly consistent and open to the NW swell. Water temp is about 72°, which is normal for the season.
The whole start is a bust. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are flat with 0.4m waves, cross-offshore winds, and weak energy. Just stay home.
Monday morning the 7th is the real deal. Swell is 0.7m from the WNW, but the period is a very long 15 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The wind is glassy, and the energy is moderate at 241. This is the standout session. The long period will give clean, powerful waves, but at a beach break it might run a bit straight. Get out there early because the afternoon turns to chop.
Tuesday the 8th has 1.1m waves, but the wind is cross-onshore and the period drops to 11 seconds. Not ideal.
From Wednesday the 9th through to Sunday the 14th, it’s a long, flat, and messy run. Tiny swell, cross-onshore winds, and weak energy. Not worth a paddle.
Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th are glassy in the mornings but only 0.4m. Basically flat.
Wednesday the 16th morning has a tiny bump to 0.6m with a 13-second period and clean cross-offshore wind, giving 140 energy (moderate). It’s surfable but ordinary. A longboard might work.
Thursday and Friday the 17th and 18th are small and mostly cross-onshore. Friday morning has a clean 1.0m from the NE, but with a short 6-second period, it’s weak and lumpy.
Saturday the 19th morning has clean offshore wind, but only 0.4m swell. The afternoon has stronger 25 mph offshore winds and 1.1m from the NE, but with a 6-second period, it’s going to be a battle to get in. That’s more for the kite crew.
The only real standout is Monday morning the 7th. Get on it early for the glassy, long-period groundswell. After that, the forecast is mostly quiet.
Rusty out.

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.
