Asilah Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got the full rundown for the Asilah region looking out over the next couple of weeks.

To be real with you, it’s a tough stretch. The surf window starts off marginal and honestly never really gets its act together. The entire 16-day run is a long grind of small, weak, and mostly messy conditions. There are no true standouts here, so temper your expectations.

Let’s kick it off with Thursday morning, the 13th. We’re looking at tiny 3ft swell out of the WNW with a 9-second period. The combined energy is weak at 98, so there’s barely any push. The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is about average for the time of year. On the positive side, it’s glassy—zero wind—so the surface will be clean. But it’s just too small and weak to get excited about. That afternoon, the wind swings NW at 9 mph, making it a cross-on mess with poor conditions.

Friday the 14th morning is slightly better. Still a small 3ft swell, but the wind is light from the SSE at 3 mph, giving us a clean, glassy surface. It’s still ordinary, though. Saturday the 15th morning sees a bump up to 4ft swell, but the period drops to a weak 8 seconds, and a 9 mph cross-shore wind makes it choppy. The energy is moderate at 185, but the quality is poor.

Sunday the 16th through the middle of next week is a slow bleed. Swell sizes drop consistently from 4ft down to 1ft by the 19th. Periods are short, wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy numbers tumble into the teens and twenties. This is flat spell territory—there’s nothing worth paddling out for.

We get a tiny pulse around Sunday the 23rd, with 4ft swell and 7-second period, but the wind is a moderate 12 mph cross-shore, making it choppy. The energy is moderate at 117, but the conditions are poor. That pattern repeats through the 26th, where a fresh 19 mph wind from the SSW on Wednesday morning makes the 4ft swell completely unsurfable—lumpy and messy.

Later in the second week, from the 26th into the 28th, we’ve got rain showers and even a risk of thunderstorms, with winds holding strong and swell sizes under 3ft. The energy stays weak, and the conditions are consistently poor.

Bottom line: there are no good surf options across this 16-day window. The swell is just too small, the winds are too often onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy never builds into anything meaningful. For the experienced crew, if the wind ever goes light and offshore, the tiny waist-high leftovers might be a fun session on a longboard, but don’t hold your breath. If the wind stays up, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Hang in there—forecasts can change.
