The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. Honestly, looking at the next 16 days, it’s a pretty flat and frustrating run for Bouznika Plage (reef and point). The swell is tiny and the wind is constantly messing up whatever little bump there is. There’s not a single session I’d paddle out for, and all the forecast scores are bottom of the barrel. This is a stretch where you’re better off leaving the boards in the car.
The first real chance of any wave energy doesn’t show up until Friday the 21st of August, and even then it’s weak. The afternoon sees a small 3ft NW swell with a combined energy of just 115, but it’s coming with a cross-onshore breeze from the NNW at 12 mph, making it choppy. It’s not worth the effort.
The swell does start to build over the weekend. Saturday the 22nd of August, the morning brings 4ft from the NW (energy 245), but the wind is onshore from the WNW. By the afternoon, it’s up to 5ft with 338 energy, but it’s still onshore and messy. Sunday the 23rd holds similar conditions, with 5ft NW swell (energy 322) in the morning, but the wind is cross-onshore. It’s just not clean.
The best-looking swell arrives on Saturday the 29th of August and Sunday the 30th. The swell is solid, pushing 5ft from the NW with periods reaching 9 seconds and energy climbing to 375. However, the wind is onshore from the NW both days, so the surface will be blown out. For a reef and point break like this, that wind direction is a killer. The water temperature is about 73°F, which is dead average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Late in the window, on Tuesday the 1st of September, the swell drops back to 3ft with a longer 10-second period, but the wind is still onshore. By Wednesday the 2nd, it’s a similar story: 4ft NW swell but cross-shore or cross-onshore winds.
Bottom line: there are no standout days. The entire 16-day forecast is a write-off for surf. With the wind and swell angles being so poor for Bouznika Plage, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Don’t hold your breath, but forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it.
Rusty.
