The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming down the line in this neck of the woods. The forecast is a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. We’ve got some swell on the radar, but the wind’s been playing games for a lot of the time. There’s a sneaky window of opportunity if you’re patient and pick your moments.
Alright, the first real hope shows up on Saturday, 29th August. That morning is the standout – no doubt about it. We’re looking at Asilah with a clean 4 ft swell pushing in from the WNW. What’s got me excited is the wind: it’s glassy, dead calm, just a slight air. That’s rare and it’ll make for some silky, clean waves. The swell energy is moderate at 261, so there’s enough juice to get into the waves without it being a washing machine. It’s a beginner-friendly break and fairly consistent, so it’s a top morning for getting out there. Water temp is sitting at 75°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so grab the springy.
Now, after that Saturday morning high, things get a bit ordinary again. The rest of that weekend and into the following week, we’ve got small surf and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds messing with the conditions. There are a couple of glassy mornings around Tuesday, 1st September and Thursday, 3rd September where the swell drops right off to 3 ft with very weak energy (around 111-132). You could get a surf, but it’s flat and underwhelming. The wind is light or glassy, so it’s clean but tiny – more of a longboard or foiling session.
Looking further out, around Friday, 4th September morning, there’s a little pulse of 4 ft from the WNW with some energy (214), but the wind is a light cross-onshore. It’s marginal – you might get a few, but it’s not going to set the world on fire. After that, the second week fades fast into very small, weak swell below 3 ft and a lot of onshore wind, so it’s a write-off for anything decent.
Best on offer? That Saturday 29th morning at Asilah is your golden window. Get in the water then because after that, the forecast is a long, flat spell with poor conditions until that brief flicker on the 4th. It’s not a total blank run, but you’ve got to be ready to jump when it’s good.
Catch ya,
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.
