The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve been looking at the charts for our stretch of coast, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim run for the next couple of weeks. The only spot that’s even on the radar is Bouznika Point, and even then, it’s mostly a waiting game.
Right now, the water is sitting at 71°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – about 3° off the mark. You’ll feel that bite if you’re in a spring suit.
We’ve got a long stretch of nothing really happening. From Wednesday the 12th right through to about Sunday the 23rd, it’s a whole lot of poor surf conditions. The swell is small, the wind is on it, and the energy is weak. You’ll see a little bump in the energy around Friday the 14th morning (292 in the combined energy) but it’s still just marginal at best. The swell is coming from the NW, around 4ft, with a period of 11 seconds – that’s a bit of groundswell, but the onshore wind is going to mess it up. Not worth paddling out for.
The real standout, and the only time I’d get excited, is Monday the 24th in the morning. The wind goes glassy, NNW at 3 mph, and the swell picks up to 5ft from the NW with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 268, and the conditions are described as “glassy” with good surf expected. That’s your window. Bouznika Point is a point break, fairly consistent, and it works best with a W swell direction – that NW swell is close enough to work. The crowd is only sometimes an issue, so you might have it to yourself if you’re early. The swell is 5ft, which is fine for most surfers, not too big, not too small.
Then again, on Thursday the 27th in the morning, another glassy window opens up. Winds are light NW at 3 mph, glassy again, with a 5ft NW swell and a 10-second period. The energy jumps to 407 (strong), and it’s another “good surf conditions” call. That one is a bit more powerful, but still manageable for intermediates. Keep an eye on that one too.
Other than those two mornings, the rest of the fortnight is a write-off – wind is onshore or cross-onshore, the swell is messy, and the scores are flat. The second week is particularly quiet, with only a few marginal moments. So, mark your calendar for the 24th and the 27th of August, and don’t hold your breath for the rest.

Information about the Bouznika Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Bouznika Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Bouznika Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Bouznika Point surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Bouznika Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Point 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.
