Bouznika Plage Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab a coffee and settle in, because the outlook for Bouznika Plage over the next couple of weeks is a bit of a mixed bag, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it for ya. This is a reef and point setup, sheltered from a lot of the grunt, but it’s picky about its swell direction, needing it from the NW. The water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

The story starts quiet. Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th are pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at weak, jumbled swell with combined energy in the weak range – 51 to 457 – and the wind is just not playing ball. It’s cross-shore or onshore, leaving the surface lumpy and messy. Not worth paddling out for.

Over the weekend, things start to bubble up a little. Saturday the 29th morning sees a jump in swell to 6ft, period stretching to 11 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 763 (moderate). But the wind is cross-shore, and the overall forecast is still marginal. It’s the best of a bad bunch right now, but that’s not saying much. The afternoon gets chopped out again.

Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st are more of the same – small, weak swell with poor winds. Monday morning does show a brief window of glassy conditions with a 5ft swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so the waves will be weak and fat. Energy is only 278. It’s surfable, but ordinary.

The first week of September is a grind. From Tuesday the 1st through to Thursday the 3rd, we see a bit more size – 5ft to 6ft – but the wind is consistently cross-onshore or onshore, leaving the surface choppy. The energy levels are moderate (363 to 428), but the quality just isn’t there. Thursday morning the 3rd does offer another glassy window with 4ft surf, but again, it’s a short period swell, so expect weak, crumbly waves.

Then we hit a real lull. From Friday the 4th through to Sunday the 6th, the swell drops off a cliff. Combined energy falls below 100 (weak), and the waves are tiny, around 1ft to 3ft. The wind is messy, and it’s a real struggle to find anything rideable.

The second week looks a bit more promising, but it’s still not great. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th show a pickup to 4ft-4ft, with a period of 10 seconds. Tuesday morning offers another glassy window, but energy is still only 225 (weak). The waves will be there, but they’ll be small and unexciting.

From Wednesday the 9th onwards, the swell holds at 5ft-5ft with a short 8-second period, and the wind is back to cross-onshore or onshore. Energy is moderate (353-377), but the surface is going to be messy. The only standout in the whole forecast is Saturday the 29th morning, which is the best of a very average run – it’s the biggest, cleanest swell of the lot, but even then, it’s marginal.

Honestly, folks, this is a tough one. There’s no standout session that I’d be marking on the calendar. The consistent breaks here are letting us down, and the forecast is a long, drawn-out period of poor to average conditions. If you’re desperate, you might find a few soft, rideable waves on the glassy mornings, but don’t expect anything special. It’s one of those runs where the forecast can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, I’d be giving it a miss.

Rusty.
