The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this Bouznika Plage forecast is a bit of a bummer.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, we’ve got a solid run of poor surf conditions. The swell is coming from the right direction, straight out of the NW which is the optimum for this reef and point setup, but the wind is just not playing ball. For the first week and a half, it’s almost all cross-onshore, from the N and NNE, with moderate breezes that are going to keep the surface choppy and messy. It’s a consistent spot, but that doesn’t mean much when the quality is this low.
The water is sitting at 73°, pretty much bang on average for the time of year, so no drama there. The combined swell energy is weak for most of the early days, around 90 to 183 (weak energy), with a few sessions pushing into the moderate range. The swell heights are small, mostly 3 ft to 4 ft, with short periods around 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s just windswell junk.
We do have a small window of interest around Saturday the 15th of August. On the Saturday morning, the swell picks up to 6 ft from the NW with an 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 418 (strong energy). That’s the biggest pulse of the whole forecast. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the NNW, so it’s not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve got. That 6 ft is getting into the too-big-for-beginners territory, but it’s still manageable for most. The Saturday afternoon actually goes to a clean onshore wind from the NW, but the swell drops back to 5 ft. That Saturday morning is the standout, but honestly, it’s a relative standout in a very poor lineup.
After that, it fades again. The following week drops back to under 3 ft with weak energy and consistent cross-onshore winds. The run from the 16th to the 20th is a real blank stretch with no real recommendations.
If you’re desperate for a paddle on the 15th, you might get a few, but don’t expect any magic. For the rest of the time, you’d be better off finding something else to do.
Rusty out.
