Bouznika Plage Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Bouznika Plage has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. It's a reef and point set-up that's consistent and usually pretty sheltered, so it doesn't take a huge swell to get going.

Right off the bat, Friday the 11th is a write-off – messy, cross-onshore 19 mph winds. We're sidelined for a few days, honestly. You'll see some small, clean windows on Saturday morning the 12th and Sunday morning the 13th, with light cross-off winds and surf around 3 ft to 4 ft from the NNE. The wave energy is weak though (145 to 168), and the period is short, so we're really just scratching the surface. Monday the 14th brings a bit of something special. The morning sees glassy conditions and a 3 ft NW groundswell with a solid 12-second period. The wave energy is moderate (288). It's not going to be big, but it'll be the cleanest, most lined-up the break has been, making for a real cruisy session. After that, we hit another long stretch of ordinary, poor surf with onshore winds and lumpy conditions through until Friday the 25th.

Now, I’m looking way down the line. The real standout is Saturday morning, the 26th of September. The forecast is showing a 6 ft NW swell, with a period of 13 seconds. That's proper groundswell, and the wave energy is very strong (1110). What gets me excited is the clean conditions predicted – light cross-off winds and a slight breeze. For a point and reef set-up like Bouznika, that long-period swell is going to wrap in and produce some really nice, walled-up waves. The water temp is sitting at 73°, which is just about bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

This Saturday the 26th morning session is the one to circle on the calendar, folks. It's far enough out to be a little uncertain, but if it holds, it'll be the best we see. The rest of the window is mostly small and choppy, so don't hold your breath. Until then, we're just waiting.

Rusty.
