Bouznika Plage Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into what we’ve got for Bouznika Plage over the next couple of weeks. Honestly, the outlook is a tough one for the most part. We’re looking at a long, dry spell starting off with a bit of swell but messy, onshore wind, and it takes a while before we get even a glimmer of something surfable.

First up, this Saturday the 29th of August, we see some reasonable swell rolling in at 6 feet with a period of 11 seconds from the NW, giving us a combined wave energy of 651 (moderate energy). However, the wind is a killer. A NE wind at 6 mph in the morning goes cross-on, and by afternoon it's a full onshore at 12 mph from the north. The water temp is about average for this time of year, no major anomaly to report. It’s gonna be choppy and sectiony. Honestly, not worth paddling out. This same pattern of mediocre swell with poor cross-onshore wind holds through the weekend and into the first days of September. We get some 5 feet swell, but it's short period (8 seconds), and the wind stays bad. It’s a write-off.

We hit a bit of a flat spell around the 4th and 5th of September, with swell dropping below 3 feet and energy numbers in the double digits. A blank few days there for sure.

Then, on Sunday the 6th of September, we finally get a tiny window of hope. The early morning session looks interesting. We have a small, long-period groundswell from the NNW at 13 seconds with just 1 feet of height. The combined energy is 161 (weak). But the wind is a cross-offshore breeze from the ESE at 9 mph, and that makes for clean conditions. For a reef and point break like Bouznika Plage, that long period will create some shape, but with such a small size, it’s going to be micro-gnarly. Beginners might find it okay, but it's not a standout wave. It’s the best call of the whole period if you're desperate, but it’s not going to get the heart racing.

After that, we're back into poor quality. We get another pulse of 5 feet swell around Tuesday the 8th of September, but again, the wind is cross-on from the NNE at 9-15 mph. Wednesday the 9th of September morning, we see 5 feet from the NW with 8 seconds, and the wind is glassy... dead calm. That is a standout moment. At 5 feet, it's a bit much for beginners, but for an experienced surfer, a clean, glassy morning on a point with that much swell could be brilliant. The combined energy is 346 (moderate). If you can get out early, you might snag some clean, lined-up ones before the wind swings onshore in the afternoon. That is your one true highlight of the whole 16 days.

Beyond that, the second week gets smaller and messier again, with waves dropping and onshore winds returning. Don't get your hopes up for the long-range stuff.

To wrap it up: Wednesday morning the 9th is your best bet if you can make it happen. The glassy conditions and solid 5 feet swell make it the pick. If not, the Sunday the 6th offers clean, tiny waves for a longboard or a foiler. The rest? Kite surfers might get a kick out of the windy, shoulder-high chop, but for a paddle surfer, it's mostly a stay-on-land situation.

Rusty.
