Bouznika Plage Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got lined up for Bouznika Plage over the next couple of weeks. This is a reef and point set-up that’s pretty sheltered, so it needs the right nudge to get going, and honestly, for the first week, it’s a bit of a slow burn. We’ve got a lot of days where the wind is just messy – mostly cross-onshore – which is gonna leave things choppy and uninviting. The good news is that the consistency here is usually solid, so when it’s on, it’s on, and we do have a couple of windows that look promising.

Right from the get-go on Sunday the 6th, it’s tiny. We’re talking a 1ft swell from the NNW with a weak 14-second period. The morning is glassy, but there’s barely any energy (combined energy of all swells directed here 155). It’s surfable but very ordinary. Not worth paddling out for unless you’re desperate for a float. The afternoon gets a little more size at 2ft, but the wind swings onshore and it’s just poor.

The real standout of the whole period, and I mean the only one that gets me talking, is Monday the 7th in the morning. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the NW with a long 15-second period (groundswell, 466). The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE, which will keep the surface clean. This is a point break, and that long-period groundswell loves a point. It’ll wrap in nicely with some proper shape. If you’re surfing Bouznika Plage (Morocco), this is your window. The water is sitting at 72°, which is about average for this time of year. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, and with it being the only clean session in sight, expect company.

After that Monday morning, it’s a grim run. From Monday afternoon all the way through to Saturday the 12th, it’s a write-off. The wind stays cross-onshore or worse, and the swell is a mix of weak, short-period windswell. The combined energy dips into the 100-200 range (weak to moderate). Not worth your time.

We get another tiny glimmer on Sunday the 13th morning. The wind goes glassy with a light southerly, and there’s a 3ft swell from the NNE, but the period is a short 7 seconds (131). It’s surfable, but very ordinary – just a messy little wave with no grunt. The afternoon turns onshore again.

The second week is a bit more of the same story – mostly poor surf conditions. The swell sticks around the 3ft to 4ft mark, but the wind is nearly always cross-onshore or onshore. The morning of Thursday the 17th sees a glassy calm with 3ft NW swell (10 seconds, 301), and Friday the 18th morning is also glassy with a 4ft NW swell (9 seconds, 208). Both are surfable but very ordinary. Nothing to get excited about.

The last chance we get is Saturday the 19th morning. It’s small, 3ft from the NW (8 seconds, 104), but the wind is a light cross-offshore from the ENE. It’ll be clean, but the wave size and energy are pretty weak. A log might get you a few cruisy ones.

So, bottom line: the best on offer is Monday the 7th morning. That’s your pick of the fortnight. Everything else is either messy or too weak to bother with. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a bit of a flat and wind-affected run, but forecasts can change. Keep an eye on that Monday.

Rusty.
