The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving it to you straight. This 16-day window for Asilah is a total bummer. It’s one long stretch of poor conditions, with a massive gap of days where you might as well leave the board in the car. We’re talking nearly two weeks of mostly cross-onshore winds and knee-high slop.
The first time you could even consider a paddle is the morning of Tuesday, July 28th. And it’s a joke. A 2ft swell from the NE, with a clean offshore breeze from the ENE. The energy is weak (27), and the period is a short 5 seconds. That’s a dribble, not a wave. The afternoon is even smaller at 1.0ft, but the wind turns cross-offshore, so it stays clean. It’s not a recommendation, but it’s the best of a bad situation.
The next morning, Wednesday, July 29th, is glassy with a light south-easterly breeze and a 0.7ft swell from the WNW. The period is a long 12 seconds, so there’s some groundswell character, but there’s almost no water moving (26). It’s a pond.
Then we hit another dry patch. The wind stays messy, and the swell barely flickers. You’re looking at days of cross-on breezes and tiny waves until the morning of Monday, August 4th. That morning shows a 3ft swell from the WNW with a light cross-shore breeze, but it’s still not good.
The first sign of any real push comes on the morning of Wednesday, August 5th. Swell hits 4ft from the WNW with a light cross-onshore breeze. The energy is moderate (167) with a 7-second period, but it’s still a bit choppy.
Finally, on Thursday, August 6th, we get a day that’s *surfable*. The morning is glassy with a 2ft swell from the WNW, but the period is a solid 11 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 168, so there’s some actual power. The afternoon gets a bit more textured, but the swell picks up to 3ft with an 11-second period and energy hitting 265. It’s still not a standout, but it’s the only time in the whole forecast where the conditions are borderline okay.
The water is a bit colder than average for this time of year, sitting at 71°, but that’s the least of your worries. This is a dead run for the area. Don’t get your hopes up.
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.
