Bouznika Plage Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch we’re looking at is a tough one. Bouznika Plage is a reef and point setup, sheltered from the swell, and over the entire 16 days, the conditions just aren’t cooperating. The wave comment across every single session is “poor surf conditions,” and the scores are zero. It’s a real bummer.

The first possible surf recommendation comes on Saturday the 25th of July, but it’s not a good one. We’re looking at a small, weak 3ft swell from the northwest with a short period of 7 seconds, and a cross-shore wind from the north-northeast at 12 mph. The combined energy is only 204 (moderate), but it’s under a cross-chop, so it’s messy. Water temp is 74°F with a normal anomaly of +0.5°F, so that’s about average for the time of year.

Over the next few days, it’s a similar story. On Sunday the 26th, the swell sticks around 5ft from the northwest, but the wind is still cross or cross-onshore, making it lumpy. The energy stays moderate (around 199-229), but the quality is poor. Monday the 27th is no better with a 4ft NW swell and cross-on winds.

Then the swell really drops off. From Tuesday the 28th through to Thursday the 30th of July, wave heights are down to 1ft to 2ft, with very weak energy readings (73 to 78 range), and onshore winds. It’s flat and messy.

There’s a slight bump on Friday the 31st of July, with a 4ft northwest swell, but the period is only 6 seconds and the energy is weak (103). Still poor surf. The first week of August (1st to 4th) is more of the same: small, weak swell, and poor conditions.

Finally, on Wednesday the 5th of August, the energy picks up to 324 and 329 (strong), with a 3ft swell from the northwest and a period of 9 seconds. But the wind is still cross or cross-onshore, and the wave comment remains “poor surf conditions.” Thursday the 6th of August also shows a 5ft NW swell with a 9-second period and strong energy (343), but the wind is onshore from the north-northwest. The setup is beach and reef, but with the onshore wind and poor quality, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The rest of the outlook through the 9th of August fades back into small, weak swells with onshore winds.

There are no standouts here. The break is consistent, but consistently poor. The best you could hope for is a dawn patrol on the 5th or 6th of August, with the strongest energy, but the wind is going to ruin it. It’s a blank run.

Rusty.
