Bouznika Plage Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Bouznika Plage over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. For the first week and a half, the surf is pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at a long gap with no real surf on offer. The wind is almost always on it or cross-onshore, and the swell is weak and messy. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing unusual.

The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Saturday, the 1st of August. The morning session is the only time in the whole period that’s worth mentioning. We’ve got a light offshore breeze from the NE, making for clean conditions. The swell is a tiny 3 ft from the NW, with a short period of 6 seconds, so it’s not going to be powerful, but it’s surfable. The combined energy is weak (98). Honestly, it’s the only time the stars kinda line up, but it’s a small, clean wave for a beginner to get wet on. Crowds are possible here, so you might have some company.

After that, it’s back to the same old story. The wind swings onshore again, and the poor surf conditions return. The swell tries to pick up a bit toward the second week, with heights around 5 ft to 6 ft from the NW on the 9th and 10th of August, but it’s all chopped up by onshore breezes. The energy gets moderate (375 to 429), but the quality is just not there. The morning of Tuesday, the 11th of August, is the last call with a 6 ft NW swell and a light cross-onshore wind, but it’s still listed as marginal. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s not a total dud, but the wind direction is just enough to spoil it.

So, the standout, if you can call it that, is Saturday morning, the 1st of August. Clean, small, and for the beginners. Everything else is a no-go. The setup here is a reef and point, but with the wind the way it is, it’s just not happening for the paddle crew.

Rusty.
