Bouznika Plage Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let’s have a look at Bouznika Plage. This is a reef and point setup, consistent, sheltered from the swell, and it’s a beginner-friendly spot. The water temp is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, no big anomaly to talk about.

Honestly, it’s a bit of a flat spell kicking things off. There’s almost nothing doing for the first six days. We’re looking at tiny dribbles of swell, mostly 0.7 ft to 2 ft, and the combined energy is just weak – in the 20s and 40s (19 to 69). The wind is often cross-onshore or onshore, making for pretty poor surf conditions. It’s a long wait.

Now, Sunday the 12th of July, we finally see a little pulse. The morning shows 2 ft from the NW with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to a moderate 121. Still, it’s called “poor surf conditions” so don’t get too excited. The following Monday and Tuesday, the 13th and 14th, the swell pushes up to 4 ft from the NW, and the energy is moderate, hitting 201 and 203. But the wind is cross-onshore or cross-shore, keeping things messy.

The real standout, such as it is, comes around the 18th and 19th of July. On Saturday the 18th, the morning swell is 5 ft from the NW (energy at 248, moderate), and on Sunday the 19th, it’s 5 ft from the NW with energy of 306 and then 363. The wind is onshore, though, which is tough. At 5 ft to 5 ft, this is getting a bit much for beginners, but it’s not huge. The short period of 8 seconds keeps it from being proper groundswell.

For the best bet, I’d point you towards Sunday the 19th of July. The swell is the biggest of the run at 5 ft from the NW, and while the wind is onshore, the energy is the strongest we see (363). It’s still a long way out, so treat that as promising but not locked in. The rest of the two weeks is a mix of onshore junk and small surf. Not much to write home about, but at least there’s something on the horizon.
