The Lowdown
G’day, this is Rusty. Look, I gotta be straight with you—this outlook for Bouznika Plage is a rough one. We’ve got a full 16-day window staring at us, and for the first week or so, it’s a total write-off. The surf is there, but it’s just not doing anything right. The wind is mostly cross-onshore, the waves are small and weak, and the quality is consistently poor. Don’t bother paddling out for that.
The water temp is sitting at about 74°F, which is basically dead average for this time of year—nothing to write home about.
Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th are tiny—2 ft to 3 ft from the NW or NNW with short 8-second periods. The wave energy is really weak, under 100 (95, 74, 49, 37). It’s choppy and bumpy. Forget it.
Thursday the 20th is even smaller, 1 ft to 1 ft, with onshore wind. Friday the 21st gets glassy in the morning which is nice for the eyes, but the swell is still only 2 ft and the period drops to just 6 seconds. That’s weak, weak energy (67). Not worth a session.
Going into the second week, Saturday the 22nd sees a bump in size to 5 ft from the NW, with a moderate wave energy reading of 294. But the wind is onshore and the condition is listed as unknown, which is never a good sign. Sunday the 23rd pushes up to 6 ft from the NW, combined energy at 439, still onshore winds. That swell is getting solid but it’s messy. Only experts should consider it if they’re desperate, and even then, the onshore wind will kill it.
By Tuesday the 27th, it drops back down to 3 ft with short-period NNW windswell. Still cross-onshore and choppy. Nothing to get excited about.
The last days of August and into September are more of the same: 3 ft to 5 ft, NW-NNW, periods from 7 to 10 seconds, but always with a cross-onshore breeze. The energy picks up a bit on the 28th and 29th (263 to 370), but the wind just won’t cooperate.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. Not one. The wind is always from the wrong direction for this sheltered reef-and-point setup. It’s a consistent spot, but with this forecast, you’re better off waiting for a cleaner window. The numbers just don’t line up. I’d say it looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle for most of this run.
Stay patient, mate. Rusty.

Information about the Bouznika Plage Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Bouznika Plage provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Bouznika Plage can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Bouznika Plage may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
