Dar Bouazza (La Bobine) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for this stretch of coast. We’ve got a long run of pretty ordinary conditions ahead, so temper your expectations. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until the morning of Sunday the 13th, and even then it’s nothing to write home about. Before that, from now through to Saturday the 12th, it’s a write-off – onshore winds, choppy seas, and just plain poor surf quality. That’s a solid five-day gap with no decent recommendations.

The standout session, and really the only one worth paddling out for in the whole 16-day window, is the Sunday 13th September morning at Dar Bouazza (La Bobine). The wind drops to nothing – glassy conditions – and we’ll see a tiny but clean 3 ft swell from the NNW. The wave energy is weak, sitting at 115 (low energy), so it’s not going to be powerful, but it’ll be clean. The water temperature is 72°, which is about 1° cooler than average for this time of year, so nothing out of the ordinary there.

The 14th September Monday morning shows a bit more size – 4 ft from the NNW with a long 12-second period – and the energy jumps to 383 (moderate). The wind is light cross-shore from the ENE, so it could be rideable, but it’s flagged as marginal due to tide issues. Worth a look if you’re desperate, but it’s not a standout.

After that, the rest of the window is a mix of onshore winds, choppy conditions, and fading swell. The morning of the 22nd September is glassy again but with a tiny 2 ft from the NNE and very weak energy (73), so it’s barely surfable. The 23rd September morning has a long-period 11-second swell from the NNW but only 1 ft – not enough push.

Overall, it’s a tough outlook. The only real winner is that glassy Sunday 13th morning session. If you can get out then, you’ll have clean little waves to yourself. Crowds are possible at Dar Bouazza, so keep an eye out. For the rest of it, you’re better off waiting for a better forecast.

Rusty.
