Bouznika Plage Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your board, let’s talk about what’s cookin’ out there. It’s a bit of a slow burn for the next week and a half, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.

Right now, the water’s sittin’ at 73°, which is about normal for this time of year. You won’t need the thickest suit, but a good spring suit is your friend.

The next few days are pretty grim. We’ve got some small swell pushing in, but the wind’s all over the place, mostly cross and cross-onshore, chopping up what little there is. Thursday the 10th has a bit more size, 5ft, but that cross-onshore breeze is going to make it messy. Don’t get too excited. Friday the 11th looks worse with a fresh breeze and lumpy conditions. Saturday the 12th morning is the first hint of something, with the wind going glassy and a 4ft swell, but it’s still pretty average. It’s surfable, but honestly, you’d be paddling out for a few grovelers, not much more.

The rest of the weekend and the start of next week follow that same tired pattern: small swell, onshore winds, poor shape. There’s a little pulse of longer period groundswell on Monday the 14th—the energy jumps to 367 and 325—but the wind is still messing it up. It’s like the ocean is teasing us.

We’ve got a bit of a dry spell in terms of quality for a solid stretch there. But hang tight, because things start to change around Thursday the 17th. The energy starts to build, with readings of 423 and 473. The wind is still a factor, but the swell is definitely starting to fill in. Then Friday the 18th morning looks interesting. We’ve got a 5ft NW swell with an 11-second period and a light cross-shore wind, energy at 453. That’s the first day that might actually have a couple of decent waves.

The real story is what’s coming in the following week. Monday the 21st sees the swell really start to pulse, with energy jumping into the 700s and 800s. The winds are still not ideal, but you can feel the ocean waking up. Then, Tuesday the 22nd morning is the standout. The wind is forecast to be completely calm and glassy. No wind. Zero. And the swell is a solid 5ft of long-period NNW groundswell with a 12-second period. The energy is a hefty 702. That is the morning to be in the water at Bouznika Plage.

That’s the one you want to circle on the calendar. We’re looking at clean, lined-up waves with no wind. The only caveat is that it’s a week and a half out, so don’t hold me to it just yet, but it’s looking mighty promising. The afternoon sees the wind pick up again, so make it a dawn patrol. After that, the swell backs off and the winds come back onshore, so that Tuesday morning is your window.

So, keep the wax in the car, wait out the junk, and be ready for that glassy Tuesday. It’s gonna be worth it.

Rusty.
