Bouznika Plage Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here.

Look, I’ll be straight with you—this 16-day window for Bouznika Plage is a tough one. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions and not much to get excited about. The first real recommendation doesn’t kick in until Sunday morning, the 12th of July, and even that’s a pretty ordinary offering. The water’s sitting at 77°, which is a good 5° warmer than usual for this time of year—so if you’re paddling out, you won’t need a wetsuit, that’s for sure.

Sunday, 12 July – Morning: This is the only decent moment in the first week. The swell is 3 ft from the NW, period 10 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 133. The real winner here is the wind: glassy conditions. That’s a major positive—clean, smooth surf. The break is a reef and point, so that longer period (10s) will wrap in nicely. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, and it’s consistent, so there’s a chance to get a few fun ones. Crowds are sometimes an issue, so it might be worth getting out early.

Sunday afternoon: The wind swings onshore and the swell picks up a bit to 4 ft, but the quality drops. Not worth the paddle.

From Monday the 13th through to the 19th, it’s a whole lot of nothing. The swell stays small or middling, but the wind is almost always cross-on or cross, making for choppy, messy conditions. There’s a small bump in size on the 19th (6–6 ft, NW, 8s), but the onshore wind ruins it. The combined energy gets up to 428, but it’s all messy.

Monday, 20 July – Morning: A bit of a glimmer here. The swell is 6 ft from the NW, 9s, and the combined energy is strong at 502. The wind is a light cross-on, so it’s not all bad, but the wave comment says it’s marginal. For a beginner break, 6 ft is starting to push it—might be a bit much for learners. For the average surfer, it’s worth a look if the tide lines up.

The standout – Friday, 24 July – Morning: This is the one you want to circle. The swell is 7 ft from the NW, period 9 seconds, and the combined energy is a very strong 760. The wind is light and onshore, but the forecast says wind and tide are favorable. However, the file also notes that the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. At 7 ft, it’s getting into expert territory, and for a reef and point, that’s a lot of water moving. This is not a day for beginners. If you’re experienced and you know the break, it could be a standout, but it’s a big, powerful swell.

After that, the last week of July drops off into poor conditions again, with cross-on winds and messy surf, though the 26th of July has a 6 ft swell from the NW with a cross-shore wind—marginal, but at least the wind is not ruining it completely.

So, to sum it up: Sunday morning the 12th is the best bet for clean, fun, small waves. Friday the 24th morning is the big one if you’re a confident surfer looking for power, but be aware it might be too big for the spot. Everything else is a pass.

Rusty.
