Bouznika Plage Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaking for Bouznika Plage over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a grim stretch. We’ve got a full 16 days on the board, but the surf is so poor across the entire window that there isn’t a single day I’d call worth paddling out for. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t appear until Tuesday, August 25th, and even then it’s just “ordinary.”

Let’s break it down. From Thursday, August 13th right through until Monday, August 24th, it’s a total write-off. The swell is tiny, the wind is a mess, and the wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions.” For the first week, you’re looking at weak, short-period NW swell with heights struggling to hit 3 ft, and the combined energy is mostly sitting in the low to mid hundreds (128 to 355), which is only moderate. The wind is either cross, cross-on, or directly onshore, chopping up whatever little bump there is. The water temp is 71 °F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a spring suit.

The only glimmer in the whole outlook is on Tuesday morning, August 25th. The swell bumps up to 5 ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds, giving a moderate energy of 298. The wind goes glassy – that’s a major positive – and the comment finally upgrades to “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” This is the only window where the wind is clean, and the swell is big enough to work. But 5 ft on a short period is going to be a bit crumbly and a bit too big for beginners. Even then, the afternoon goes onshore and messy again.

After that, Wednesday the 26th through Friday the 28th just slides back into poor surf with moderate cross-shore and onshore winds, and the swell stays around 4 ft to 4 ft.

So, the call is ugly. The best of a bad bunch is Tuesday morning, August 25th, at Bouznika Plage. Glassy conditions and 5 ft NW swell. It’s a reef and point setup, so it might hold that short-period energy better than a beach, but it’s not going to be a classic. If you’re desperate, that’s your window. Otherwise, save the petrol.

Rusty.
