Bouznika Plage Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here, bringing you the long-range look at Bouznika Plage.

Right now, we’re looking at a pretty quiet spell for the next couple of weeks. The first decent bit of activity doesn’t roll in until Monday, September 8th. Before that, we’ve got a few tiny, weak swells that are mostly spoiled by onshore or cross-onshore breezes—honestly, nothing worth wetting a wetsuit for. You’ll want to sit tight through the gap from now until the 8th.

On Monday the 8th, Tuesday the 9th, and into Wednesday the 10th, the swell picks up a notch. The standout window is Tuesday morning, the 8th: we’ve got a clean, glassy start with a light cross-shore breeze, swell coming from the NW at 4 ft and a period around 11 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (469). That’s about as good as it gets in this stretch—still very ordinary, but at least the waves will have a bit of push and the wind won’t wreck them. For beginners, this is still fine: 4 ft is manageable.

Water temp is sitting at 71°F, which is about 3°F colder than usual for this time of year—a bit nippy, but nothing crazy.

The rest of that week and into the second week is a real mixed bag. Stronger swells show up on the 9th and 10th, with heights around 4 ft to 5 ft, but unfortunately the wind turns cross-on or onshore, chopping things up. On the 14th, we get clean conditions for a moment with light offshore from the ENE and a long-period groundswell (13 seconds) from the NW hitting 3 ft, combined energy at 342 (moderate). That could offer a few clean lines at the reef and point setup, but it’s inconsistent and the swell is small. Then by the 15th, Tuesday morning goes glassy again with a 3 ft NW swell, but again, very average.

Honestly, the long-range standouts are thin. The absolute best on offer is that Tuesday morning, the 8th, and maybe the early part of the 15th if you’re keen on clean but tiny surf. Don’t expect much—these are more “maybe go for a paddle” days than “score epic waves” days.

This is Bouznika Plage, so you know the drill: the break works best on a proper NW groundswell with light winds. That’s just not happening consistently in this 16-day window. It’s a reef and point, so those longer period swells (like we see on the 7th and 14th) can actually wrap in nicely, but the size is just too small to get excited about.

If you’re after something more interesting for a kite, those afternoons with stronger cross-on winds and 5 ft swell might actually be worth a look. But for surfing? Keep expectations low.
