Table - best surf conditions forecast for Doura over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
The start of the outlook is slow and messy at Doura. Through Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd, the waves are tiny, 1 to 4 ft, from the west-northwest, with cross or onshore winds making it lumpy. Not worth the paddle.
Sunday the 23rd morning is where it lights up. Glassy conditions, a 3 ft northwest groundswell with a super long 15-second period, and strong combined energy (374). That long period will make for clean, well-shaped waves but might run a bit straight at the river mouth. Still, this is the best session of the whole outlook. Water temp is 73°F, normal for this time of year.
Monday the 24th has some size but the wind turns onshore or cross, so it’s messy. Tuesday the 25th morning cleans up with a light offshore breeze and a 5 ft swell, moderate energy (343). Decent but not a standout. The 26th and 27th are mostly weak or too windy.
Looking way ahead to Saturday the 5th of September – you’ve got a 6 ft northwest swell, light winds, and strong energy (398). The wind is cross-off, keeping it clean. It’s nearly two weeks out, so take it easy, but it’s the other real highlight.
There’s a few average sessions in between – Sunday the 30th morning glassy but only 4 ft, and Tuesday the 1st of September morning with a clean offshore and 3 ft – but nothing special. Crowds can happen when Doura’s firing, so plan for it.
Bottom line: Sunday the 23rd morning is the one to aim for – glassy, clean, and long-period. Saturday the 5th of September morning is the other big hope further out.

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.
