The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a good look at what's on the menu for Doura over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, it’s a bit of a slow burner. There's a whole lot of nothing across the first few days – we're looking at a gap from today until about Sunday morning with barely a ripple. It’s not until Sunday the 23rd that we finally see some life, and even then, it's pretty average, just surfable. The ocean’s pretty quiet (combined energy of 223).
The real action starts to build into the following week. Monday the 24th morning is where I'd start getting keen. We’ve got a clean 1.3m swell rolling in from the NW with a 10-second period, and it’s glassy. The water temp is sitting at 23°, which is bang on average for this time of year – nothing weird going on there. The combined energy is decent at 328, and it looks like the best clean window we’ve seen. That's the standout window in the near-term for sure. The swell direction is NW, and that’s the optimum direction for Doura.
After that it gets a bit messy with onshore winds spoiling things. The next real highlight pops up on Saturday morning, the 29th of August. We’re looking at a clean 5ft NW swell with offshore NNE winds and a light breeze. That’s a proper pulse of energy with a combined energy reading of 490 – that’s a solid, powerful groundswell. It’s a bit sizey, might be pushing the limits for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, that’s the pick of the whole forecast. Be aware, the crowds are listed as ‘sometimes’, so you might have some company, but it won't be a circus.
The following Sunday morning, the 30th, is also worth a mention. There’s a smaller but glassy 5ft NW swell with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a fun, clean morning session before the winds pick up.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is a write-off. The two real standouts are Monday morning the 24th for a clean, solid session, and Saturday the 29th for the biggest, cleanest swell of the period. Get on it.

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.
