The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the only game in town for the next couple of weeks: Bouznika Plage (Morocco). It’s a sheltered reef and point, so it needs a specific swell direction to really fire, and honestly, the next 16 days are a bit of a grind. We’ve got a real mixed bag of onshore winds and small, weak swell for most of the run.
The water is sitting at 71°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year—about 3°F off the average, so you’ll want a spring suit if you’ve got a thinner blood.
Right now, through the start of the period, it’s not great. We’ve got a long gap here with no real standouts. From Wednesday the 12th all the way through to about Saturday the 22nd, the surf is poor to marginal. The swell is small, mostly around 3ft to 4ft, with short periods around 6 to 9 seconds, and the wind is generally cross-onshore or onshore, ruining any chance of clean lines. The combined energy is weak, sitting between 56 and 308, so it’s mushy and unorganised. This is a stretch where you’re better off doing something else.
There’s a small flicker of hope on Sunday morning the 16th, with a 6ft swell from the northwest and a 8-second period, but the wind is onshore and it’s only rated as “marginal.” Not worth the drive.
Things start to look a little more interesting around Saturday the 22nd, where the swell bumps up to 5ft to 6ft from the northwest, with moderate wave energy (408 to 526). But again, the wind is onshore, making it choppy and blown out. It’s still not what you’d call good surf.
The real standout, and the only one I’d circle on the calendar, is Thursday morning the 27th of August. We’ve got a 5ft northwest swell, with a period of 10 seconds—that’s a bit more groundswell character, and the wind is glassy, dead calm. The combined energy is moderate at 407, and the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” This is the only session in the whole 16-day window that looks clean and rideable. The swell direction is northwest, which is bang on what this spot likes. It’s a beginner-friendly break, consistent, and though crowds are sometimes an issue, with conditions this clean, it’ll be a fun, uncrowded morning if you get in early. The point setup should handle the long-period swell well, offering nice lines.
After that, the afternoon turns cross-onshore and choppy again, so the window is narrow. If you’re keen, make that Thursday morning the 27th your target.
Other than that, the second week offers a few mornings with glassy conditions—like Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th morning—but the swell is small (5ft to 5ft) and short-period, so it’s “surfable but very ordinary.” Nothing to get excited about.
So, bottom line: one clean morning on the 27th, and the rest is a waiting game. This spot needs that northwest swell and calm wind to align, and when it does, it’s a gem. But for now, it’s mostly a case of checking the forecast again tomorrow.
