Bouznika Plage Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright crew, let’s talk about Bouznika Plage. This reef and point setup is a consistent little wave, but the next week and a half is a real mixed bag – we’ve got to sit through a lot of ordinary, choppy conditions to get to the good stuff. The near-term is a write-off, so don’t be in a rush.

For the next few days, it's all about waiting. The swell is on the small side, bumpy, and blown out. You’ll see a bit of energy, around moderate (combined swell energy of 203 on Saturday the 22nd), but with onshore winds, it’s just not worth paddling out for a surf. That holds through the 23rd, with a brief, glassy moment Sunday morning showing 3ft of NW swell at a very long 15 seconds, but the energy jumps up (471) and it’s clean – that’s a real tease, but the afternoon falls apart.

Then the wind goes onshore again. From Monday the 24th right through to the end of August, it’s mostly cross-onshore or cross-shore, and the wave quality is poor. The swell hangs around at waist-to-chest high, but it’s chopped up. There’s some moderate to strong energy in there, like on the 28th (312) and 29th (370), but the conditions just don’t line up for a proper session.

Now, the standout. Sunday, the 30th of August, morning is the real winner. We get glassy conditions, a solid 6ft of NW swell with a period of 10 seconds, and damn strong wave energy (546). That’s the kind of morning you set the alarm for. The point here loves a good NW swell, and with the wind glassed out, it’s going to be clean, lined-up, and fun. This is your best shot – a proper groundswell and the water temperature is about average for this time of year, so it’s comfortable.

Don’t get too excited for the first week of September. There’s more swell, peaking around 6ft on Thursday the 3rd (combined swell energy of 953!), but it’s hammered by moderate cross-onshore winds again. That’s a raw, messy NW groundswell that’s just gonna get blown apart. The morning of Saturday the 5th has similar energy (661) but again, the wind is just not your friend.

There’s a little flicker of hope at the very end of the window. Sunday the 6th of September morning – glassy conditions again, with 6ft of NW swell and a solid 9-second period. The energy is still strong (508), and it’s clean. That could be a decent session too, but it’s a way off, so keep an eye on it but don’t bank on it just yet.

So, bottom line: the next week and a half is pretty average, with the wind messing up most of the good swell. The real standout is the morning of Sunday the 30th of August – that’s the one to chase. After that, it’s more waiting and hoping for another window to open up. Crowds are possible here as it’s a known spot, so get in early on that Sunday morning.

Stay patient, and paddle hard when it lines up.
