The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but for the imperial crew.
So, for Briech, we're looking at a pretty drawn-out, quiet period. There's a big stretch of nothing at the start, so don't rush to wax up. The first time you could even think about a wave is the morning of September 18th, and it's still a small affair.
The first few days are just tiny, knee-high slop and strong wind. The combined wave energy is barely there, staying under 45. Water temp is about 70°, running a touch cold for the season.
The one real standout, and I mean the *only* one, is the morning of September 18th. We get a clean 0.7m (2ft) swell from the WNW with a 10-second period. But the magic is the wind: dead calm, absolutely glassy. It'll be as clean as a mirror. The energy is still low, but for a tiny wave, you won't find better conditions in this whole two-week window.
Honestly, that's your one shot. The rest of the run is either choppy, blown out, or just plain flat. A couple of other mornings like the 19th and 22nd have "surfable" waves, but they're tiny and the wind is on it. Later on, around the 26th of September, we see a few more glassy mornings with some ankle to knee-high swell, but nothing that'll get your heart racing.
Bottom line: The wait is long, and the reward is small. If you're desperate for a soul session, set your alarm for the morning of the 18th of September for the cleanest, most peaceful little waves on offer. Otherwise, maybe save the energy for a different week.
Rusty.

Information about the Briech Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Briech provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Briech can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Briech 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 (Briech) 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 Briech 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.
Briech is 2 km (1 miles) from the city of Asilah. If you plan a holiday in Tangier to Rabat, look for hotels and other accommodation in Asilah. Asilah has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
