The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. To be honest, looking at the next couple of weeks, it’s not looking like a classic run for Dahomey. The swell is around, but it's mostly short-period, weak stuff with a cross to cross-onshore wind messing it up. Realistically, there’s a big gap of poor to marginal conditions right through the first week and into the second. Hold onto your leashes, 'cause the only real glimmer of hope doesn't come until Friday, August 7th, and even that's a bit of a gamble.
We start off quiet. The first few days from Sunday, August 2nd, have tiny swell – we’re looking at 1.3 ft to 2.6 ft with periods around 6 to 10 seconds. The wind is a persistent cross or cross-onshore, and the wave energy is very weak, only hitting 102 (combined energy) on the Sunday afternoon before dropping. The water is a bit colder than normal for this time of year at 70.7°, so it’s a bit fresh. Not much to get excited about.
The only real stand-out in this whole 16-day window, and I mean the only one, is the Friday morning on August 7th. We get a bump in swell to 5.6 ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 382, which is a solid moderate energy. The wind is light from the NNW at 3.1 mph, making it a cross-onshore, but with such a light breeze, it should be glassy. This is the best call we’ve got. It’s marginal though, and the tide could be a factor. After that, it’s back to smaller, weaker NW swells and choppy winds for the rest of the run. There’s nothing else worth paddling out for.
Stay tuned, forecasts can change, but for now, that Friday morning is your best shot.

Information about the Dahomey Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Dahomey provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Dahomey can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Dahomey 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 (Dahomey) 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 Dahomey 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.
Dahomey is 8 km (5 miles) from the city of Bouznika. If you plan a holiday in Rabat to Casblanca, look for hotels and other accommodation in Bouznika. Bouznika has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
