Bouznika Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for Bouznika. Looking at the whole 16-day window, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a tough stretch. The wave energy is there at times, but the wind just won’t play ball. The setup is consistently cross-onshore, which is gonna leave things choppy and messy. This isn’t a time for a smooth, glassy session, it’s more about getting wet if you’re desperate.

We’re kickin’ off on Saturday morning, the 1st of August, at Bouznika Point. The swell is tiny, just 1 ft from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is weak, only (75). The wind is a light cross-onshore from the N at 6 mph, just messing with the surface. This is poor surf, plain and simple. It stays similar through the weekend; Sunday the 2nd sees a bit more height at 3 ft from the NW, but the period drops to a short 6 seconds, and the wind picks up to 12 mph in the arvo. The energy is a bit more moderate at (124) in the morning, but the chop is real.

Monday the 3rd through to the end of the first week is a grind. Swell stays small, mostly under 3 ft, with that persistent cross-shore or cross-onshore wind. The wave energy builds through the week, hitting moderate levels like (127) on Thursday the 6th and (142) on Friday the 7th, but the quality is just “poor” every session. On Friday morning the 7th, we get a 3 ft NW swell with a 7-second period and the wind actually goes offshore from the NW, but it’s only 6 mph. That’s the closest we get to clean, but the period is short, so it’s not lighting the world on fire.

The second week rolls in with a bit more size but the same story. Sunday the 9th of August has a 3 ft WNW swell in the morning, energy at (177), and the wind is barely a whisper from the N at 3 mph. That’s a promising window, but the wave comment is still “poor surf conditions.” By Wednesday the 12th, the combined energy is pushing into strong territory at (203) in the afternoon, with a 3 ft swell from the NW, but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore at 12 mph, making it a choppy mess.

The biggest swell of the period shows up on Friday the 14th of August, with 5 ft from the NW in the afternoon, energy at a strong (226), but again, the wind is a moderate cross-onshore at 15 mph. At that size, it’s getting too big for beginners, but with the chop, it’s only for the hardcore. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it won’t have that classic groundswell punch.

Honestly, there’s no standout day here. The wind is always putting a lid on it. If you’re a kitesurfer, this setup with the cross-onshore wind and consistent swell energy might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a tough call. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

Hang in there, it’s a dry spell, but forecasts can change.

Rusty.
