Bouznika Plage Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get real. Bouznika Plage is looking proper flat and ugly for the next two weeks plus. We've got a 16-day window and I'm telling you, there’s nothing here that’s gonna get you out of bed. The first hint of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Monday, August 17th, and even that’s a marginal day. From now until then, it’s a total dud.

The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the place—mostly cross-onshore or straight onshore—and the energy is weak. We’re talking 0.9m to 1.1m of short-period, 6 to 7 second junk, with energy readings mostly in the 100s (moderate). It’s just choppy, messy, and not worth the paddle out. This protected reef and point setup just can’t do anything with this northwest windswell.

Then on the morning of Monday, August 17th, there’s a flicker of hope. The wind goes glassy, which is a huge positive. The swell is still small, around 1.1m, with an 8-second period, but that clean surface makes it the only surfable window in the whole forecast. The energy is moderate at 128. It’s not a day that’ll be talked about for years, but it’s the one chance to get a few clean, if small, waves. That’s your window, right there.

After that, it’s a long, sad fade-out. The swell drops off to nothing by the 20th, with heights falling to 0.3m to 0.7m and energy numbers falling into the 30s and 40s. The period stretches out to 10-11 seconds on the 21st and 22nd, which would normally be good news, but with that tiny size, it’s just flat. The wind turns onshore again, chopping up whatever dribble is left.

So, bottom line: you’ve got one go at it, on the morning of the 17th. It’s a small, glassy, clean wave at a spot that’s usually consistent, but this forecast is a dead zone. The crowds are “sometimes,” so you might have it to yourself, but with waves this small, you’ll be surfing for the glide, not the glory. This is a serious dry spell. Bouznika is usually more reliable than this, but sometimes the ocean just says “no.” I wouldn’t bet on a big comeback, but forecasts can change. Keep the board ready, but don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
