Bouznika Plage Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the Bouznika Plage region over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a bit of a quiet stretch to start. We’ve got a long gap of pretty much nothing doing for the majority of the forecast period. The whole first week is a write-off, just tiny, weak dribbles with onshore winds. You’d be fighting a cross-on breeze for tiny, poor surf that’s barely breaking. Combined swell energy is pitifully low, sitting at just 36 to 75 in the early days – very weak. You're really not missing a thing.

There’s a flicker of hope right at the very end. The standout – really the *only* standout – arrives on Monday the 20th of July. The afternoon looks to be the peak with a solid 4ft swell pulsing in from the NW. The main event is that combined swell energy jumps right up to 512, which is proper strong energy. That kind of juice means there'll be some power behind those waves. On the flip side, the wind is a moderate cross-onshore from the NNW at 12 mph, which will put a bit of chop on the surface. It won't be glassy, but for this stretch it’s the best we’ve got.

For the morning of Monday the 20th, the swell is a bit smaller at 4ft, but with lighter breeze from the N at 9 mph, still cross-on. It’s surfable either way, but the afternoon has that extra power. It’s a sheltered spot here at Bouznika Plage (a reef and point setup), and while it’s usually consistent, it is noted as a beginner break. With the swell at over 3ft but under 8ft, it's getting into the intermediate zone, so it'll be fun for a broader crew but not too threatening. Just know that because it's the only real window, you can expect the crowds to be there – this spot can get busy.

Water temp is sitting at 75°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you'll be fine in a spring suit or just boardies.

The next day, Tuesday the 21st, fades quickly back into smaller, weaker surf with the energy dropping right back down to 145. It’s a one-day window, make the most of it.

So to wrap it up: be patient. The first week and a half is a total dud. Your best bet is to pencil in the afternoon of Monday the 20th. It’s not perfect, but it’s the only real pulse of life in the forecast. Get amongst it, but expect a crowd.

Rusty.
