The Lowdown
Alright, listen up, grab a coffee. We’re looking at the next 16 days for Bouznika Plage, a reef and point setup that’s sheltered and likes a NW swell. Honestly, it’s a grim stretch for the most part. There’s a long, dry spell of nothing until the very end.
The water temp is 74°, which is standard for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
Right now, and for the next couple of weeks, it’s flat. The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until Monday, August 31st. That’s over a week of nothing. The energy is weak, with the combined swell energy barely hitting 268 at its best in that window. Waves are tiny, around 5ft, coming from the NW. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s a weak, windswell-type wave, not the kind of groundswell that wraps in nicely.
The only session that gets a nod is that Monday morning of the 31st. The wind switches to a light WNW, going glassy. That’s your one and only chance. For a few hours, the conditions will be clean. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. The swell direction is spot on for the optimum (NW), but the size and period just aren’t there. Because it’s a reef and point, short period swells can get a bit sloppy, so don’t expect any real juice.
The rest of the run is a total write-off. The wind is mostly onshore, cross-onshore, or just plain messy, and the wave heights are tiny. This is a classic, quiet end-of-summer pattern for the area. It happens. The good news is the forecast is a long way out, so things can change. But as it stands, you’re waiting for that Monday morning glass-off for a paddle.

Information about the Bouznika Plage Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Bouznika Plage provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Bouznika Plage can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Bouznika Plage surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Bouznika Plage) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Bouznika Plage may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
