Bouznika Plage Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, I’m lookin’ at the next couple of weeks for Bouznika Plage, and I gotta be straight with you—it’s been a rough patch lately. The surf has been real small, the wind’s been messy, and honestly, there’s not a lot to get excited about. We got a long stretch of days with hardly any surf worth paddling out for, from now all the way through Saturday the 22nd of August. The swell energy is weak, barely hitting 49 (49) on Wednesday morning, and it’s all wind-affected, short-period stuff. The water’s sitting at 73°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no drama there.

The first real hint of anything decent comes on the morning of Sunday the 23rd of August. It’s not a world-beater, but we’ve got a little bump of 3ft from the NNW, with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is glassy—dead calm, clean as a whistle. The combined energy is moderate at 177 (177), and while it’s not gonna blow your mind, it’s the cleanest surf we’ve seen in days. Bouznika Plage is a reef and point setup, so even this small groundswell will hold up better than a beach break. The swell direction is NNW, which is a bit off the optimum NW, but with glassy conditions, it’s a solid option for a beginner-friendly session. No crowds to worry about since it’s “sometimes” busy, but this early morning window? You’ll probably have it to yourself.

Then Monday morning the 24th of August offers a similar story: 2ft from the NW, 8 seconds, and again glassy wind. The energy is weaker at 91 (91), but with the glass and the low tide vibe, you could still get a few fun little rides. After that, it’s back to the cross-onshore slop for the rest of the week. The swell picks up a bit around the 27th, with 5ft to 6ft from the NW, but the wind is fresh and cross-onshore, so it’s messy and lumpy—more of a kite-surfing setup than paddle surfing.

The best bet in the whole 16 days? Gotta be the morning of Sunday the 23rd of August. Glassy, clean, small but fun—perfect for a beginner or someone just wanting to get wet. The swell is small, so it’s not too big for anyone, and the reef and point will give you a little more shape than the beach. It’s not a standout for the record books, but it’s the standout of this run.

Looking further out, toward the start of September, the swell gets bigger—6ft to 6ft from the NNW and NW, with moderate energy (470 to 554) —but the wind is still cross-onshore or choppy. It’s borderline, and I’d call it promising but uncertain. The morning of Tuesday the 1st of September looks the best of that late run, with light cross-shore wind and a 6ft, 9-second swell from the NNW. Still, don’t bank on it yet.

Overall, don’t hold your breath for the next week. The glassy Sunday and Monday mornings are your only real windows. After that, just keep an eye on the longer-range stuff. Forecasts can change.
