Bouznika Plage Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the table for Bouznika Plage over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you, mate—this is one of those outlooks where you might be better off waxing your board and just waiting.

Right off the bat, from Tuesday 11 August morning through to Monday 24 August morning, it’s pretty much a write-off. Every single session in that stretch gets tagged as poor surf conditions. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate, sitting between 85 and a high of 621 (moderate to strong energy) by Saturday 22 August, but the winds just don’t cooperate. We’ve got a persistent cross-onshore breeze, sometimes moderate or even fresh, which keeps things choppy and messy. Even when the swell bumps up to 7 ft on Saturday 22 August morning, with some energy behind it (621), the wind is cross-onshore. That’s not the kind of clean face you want to be dropping into. That size is also getting into the expert-only territory.

The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report.

The first glimmer of something half-decent comes on Tuesday 25 August morning. The swell is 6 ft from the NW with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is a solid 450 (moderate energy). The wind is light cross-onshore, which isn’t perfect, but it’s a big step up from the constant chop we’ve been seeing. This is the one session ticked as "marginal" instead of "poor." It’s not a standout, but if you’re desperate for a paddle, that Tuesday morning is your best shot. The afternoon cleans up further with offshore wind from the NW, but the surf quality still isn't there.

After that, we roll into Wednesday 26 August morning with a drop to 5 ft, and light cross-onshore winds. The energy drops to 274. It’s still poor conditions.

Bottom line: There is no true standout session in this whole 16-day window. The surf just isn’t cooperating. We’ve got a huge gap from Tuesday 11 August all the way to Monday 25 August with nothing worth getting excited about. Even the best-looking day is only marginal. If you’re a beginner, the swell stays mostly under 5 ft during the first week, but the onshore wind will make it tricky. For the second week, the bigger swells (5 ft to 7 ft) are too messy to be fun for anyone except maybe the windsurfers or kite crew.

Keep your eyes on the forecasts—it won't stay poor forever, but for now, I’d say give it a miss.

Rusty.
