The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming our way over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. The pattern is stubborn and there’s no real standout session in this entire 16-day run. The swell is mostly weak and poorly aligned, and the wind is rarely doing us any favours. We’ve got a long gap of nothing really worth paddling out for before we see a brief pulse of energy, but even that comes with messy conditions.
Right now and for the first few days, it’s all a bit of a write-off. Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th have some waist-high NW swell, around 5ft, but it’s cross-on or onshore wind, so expect bumpy, crumbly surf. The combined energy is moderate (233 to 286), but the quality is poor. Not worth wetting the suit for.
Monday the 17th drops off even more, with 3ft to 3ft of the same short-period NW energy (135 down to 109). Still cross-on or onshore, still messy. Tuesday morning the 18th is the closest we get to a decent window early on. The swell drops to 3ft from the NW with an 8-second period, and the wind goes glassy – light and from the WNW. The combined energy is weak (80). It’s surfable but very ordinary. Tuesday afternoon and the rest of that week just fade away. By Wednesday the 19th we’re down to 2ft and onshore, and it stays tiny until Friday the 21st.
We get a bit of a lift on Saturday the 22nd with 4ft NW swell, period short at 7 seconds, energy climbing to 163. Still onshore wind, so it’s messy. Sunday the 23rd sees a bump up to 4ft but with a longer 10-second period (298 energy) in the morning, turning to 5ft by afternoon (398 energy). The afternoon gets cross-on from the NNW though, so it’s choppy. This is the biggest pulse of the whole outlook, but the wind kills it. For a reef and point like Bouznika Plage, the longer-period NW swell could have had some better shape, but with the onshore/cross-onshore wind, it’s just not clean.
Monday the 24th pushes up to 6ft from the NW with 9-second period – that’s solid energy at 525. But the wind is cross-on from the NNE and it’s fairly choppy. That’s a lot of water moving around. For a sheltered spot, that’s not ideal. It’s more of a kite-surfing kind of day than a clean paddle session. After that, it all drops away again through the end of the month, with waist-high or smaller NW swell and onshore or cross-onshore winds.
Water temp at Bouznika Plage is sitting at 73°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
So, if you’re desperate for a surf, Tuesday morning the 18th offers a tiny, glassy window for the smallest of waves. The best size we see is Sunday the 23rd morning, with 4ft at 10 seconds and light onshore wind, but it’s not the clean, groomed conditions we’d want. None of these options are standouts. It’s a tale of either not enough swell, or too much wind on the swell we get.
Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, this is a period to maybe do some waxing and repair work. It tends not to stay this poor for long here, so things could shift.
Rusty.
