The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Bouznika Plage is the only show in town for this forecast window, and honestly, it’s a tough one. This spot is a sheltered reef-and-point setup, so it needs a precise swell window, mainly from the northwest. For the first week and a half, the conditions are just a grind. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, often with moderate to fresh breezes, and the swell is short-period, weak, and messy. There’s a lot of “poor surf conditions” and “marginal” calls here. The combined energy values are mostly low, often under 200 (weak energy), with only a few brief spikes into the 400s (moderate energy). The water temperature is 74°F which is pretty much average for the time of year, so nothing weird there.
The first real glimmer comes on the morning of Saturday, 29 August. The swell bumps up to 7ft from the NNW, with a period of 11 seconds—that’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy jumps to 955 (strong wave energy). The wind is light from the NNE, so it’s cross-shore with just small ripples. That’s the cleanest window of the whole run. But, at 7ft, that’s getting into expert-only territory at this kind of break. The long period will also mean the sets are a bit straighter and more powerful, so it’s not for the faint-hearted. This is the stand-out session, but only for experienced surfers.
After that, the pattern falls back into a slump. The 7th of September sees a weird spike in period—18 seconds—but the swell drops to just 2ft. The combined energy is still moderate (535), but with a cross-onshore breeze, it’s a tease. That’s a very long-period groundswell with no real height to push it, so it’s barely rideable.
Overall, it’s a frustrating outlook. The one good window is that Saturday morning, and it’s for experts only. The rest is a long, grovelly stretch of onshore chop and weak, short-period waves. Bouznika Plage is a tough place to get right, and this run proves it. Hang in there, forecasts can change.
