The Lowdown
Alright, surf’s up… or it’s trying to be. Let’s break down what’s happening at Doura over the next couple of weeks.
We’re looking at a real slow patch to kick things off. The first surfable waves show up on the 12th of September, but man, they are ordinary. A small 3ft NNE swell with a 7-second period is nothing to write home about. It’s clean-ish, but it doesn't offer much push. The energy is weak at 125. After that, it’s a whole lot of nothing, just tiny, weak swell and surf that’s barely breaking.
Honestly, from the 13th through to the 24th, it’s a grind. We’ve got a few clean, glassy mornings, like on the 14th, 19th, 20th, and the 22nd, but the swell is consistently below 3ft. The period is short and choppy, mostly under 11 seconds, so even when it’s clean, it’s not going to have any power. The energy readings are all in the low hundreds, just weak, dribbly stuff. There’s a slightly better window on the 19th and 20th with glassy conditions and a 3ft NW swell, but it’s still nothing special. You’d be surfing for the sake of it, not for the waves. The water temp is around 73°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing while you’re waiting for a set that never really comes.
Now, let’s fast forward to the real reason we’re here. The standout is looking like the morning of Saturday, the 26th of September. The forecast shows a jump in size to 6ft from the NNW with a solid 13-second period. The energy reading is a strong 940. This is the first time in the whole period we get a real groundswell that will have some proper push behind it. The cross-off wind will keep it clean, and this is without a doubt the pick of the fortnight. It’s still a few weeks out, so don’t book the time off yet, but it’s promising.
The afternoon of the 26th will back off a touch to 5ft but is still decent with a 12-second period and clean conditions.
Since this is a river break, a long-period swell like that can sometimes stand up and wall up a bit more. It might not be as perfect as a point break, but it’s the best we’ve got. This is advanced water for sure, with over 5ft it’s not for the learners. If it gets to be over 5ft, which it will, know your limits.
So, there you have it. A whole lot of waiting, with one morning that looks like it’ll make it all worth it. Keep your eye on that 26th.

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