The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've been staring at the charts for your area. Let me tell you straight up, it's a bit of a rough patch ahead. Bouznika Plage (Morocco) is a sheltered reef and point break that's generally consistent and beginner-friendly, but over the next 16 days, it's going to be a real test of patience.
Right now, the water's sitting at a pretty average 74°, which is spot on for this time of year. The problem is the swell. For the first few days, from Thursday the 20th through to the end of the weekend, we're looking at tiny, short-period, weak windswell. The wave energy is barely registering (48 to 348), and the wind is all over the place – cross, onshore, cross-onshore – making for messy, poor surf conditions. It's not worth paddling out for.
We do get a bit of a tease on Monday the 24th morning. The wind goes glassy, and we see a 5 ft swell from the northwest, with a moderate 370 energy. The wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" – it's the best of a bad bunch, but honestly, it's nothing to write home about. The swell period is 10 seconds, so it's a mix of ground and wind swell, but the quality just isn't there.
Then it's back to more of the same – a long stretch of poor conditions with onshore and cross-shore winds, and small, weak swell. The energy stays in the low to moderate range (61 to 475), and the swell direction is mostly from the northwest, which is right for the spot, but the size and wind are just wrong.
The next bit of hope comes on Saturday the 29th of August. The morning shows a 6 ft swell from the NNW, with a solid 587 energy. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, creating a slight cross-chop. The wave comment calls it "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions." It's a bit bigger, but that 6 ft is getting into the territory where it's more for intermediate to advanced surfers, especially with the choppy conditions likely to follow in the afternoon when the wind picks up to 16 mph. This is the only faint standout in the whole 16 days.
The rest of the period into the first week of September just keeps rolling with poor conditions. Swell stays around 3 ft to 4 ft, period is short (7-9 seconds), and the wind is cross-onshore or onshore. The wave energy is moderate (129 to 195), but the quality is consistently poor. The only real change is on Friday the 4th of September morning, when a 5 ft swell from the NW shows up with 321 energy, but it's accompanied by rain showers and a cross-onshore wind – not a recipe for good surf.
So, the honest truth? For the next 16 days, there's no standout session. The break is consistent, but these conditions are not. The forecast can always change, but as it stands, you're better off waiting for the next proper swell. Keep your eyes on the charts, but don't expect much.
Rusty.
