The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Bouznika Plage are looking like a proper write-off for any decent waves. It’s a consistent reef and point setup, but the conditions are just fighting us every step of the way. The water's sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The first week is a total bust. From Thursday the 16th through to Saturday the 26th of July, we’ve got a long stretch of nothing but poor surf. The swell is tiny, mostly hovering around 3ft to 4ft from the NNW, with a weak period of just 6 seconds – that’s pure wind swell with no grunt. The combined energy is low, barely getting into triple digits (57 to 126). On top of that, the wind is almost always a cross or cross-onshore breeze, keeping everything choppy and messy. There’s just nothing to get excited about. You’d be better off finding a different hobby for a while.
Towards the end of the month, around Sunday the 27th, we finally see a pulse of proper swell. The NW groundswell starts to build, pushing 6ft to 6ft by Monday the 27th, with a period stretching to 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps up to a solid 460, which is moderate and actually has some push. The catch? The wind is still a problem. Early on the 27th, it’s a light cross-onshore, and by the afternoon, it’s straight onshore. Tuesday the 28th morning looks like the best bet of the whole forecast. The swell is a bit bigger at 7ft from the NW, with a 9-second period, and the wind goes light and cross-shore. That’s your window. The combined energy hits 664, so there’s a decent amount of power. But don’t get too carried away – the forecast overall is still rated as marginal, and the winds are fickle.
Honestly, if you’re an expert and can handle some chop, Tuesday the 28th morning might offer a few solid ones. That 7ft NW swell with a cross-shore breeze is the standout, but it's a long way off and conditions could easily change. For everyone else, this is a two-week gap to sit out. The setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on most of these days.
Rusty.
