The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. The waves are gonna be around, but they’re just not cooperating. We’re looking at a long run of small, weak swell at Doura, and the wind is just never quite right. The water’s sitting at 73°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so that’s one thing you don’t have to worry about.
The first few days, from Friday the 7th through to Monday the 10th, it’s all poor surf. The swell is tiny, around 3 ft to 4 ft out of the NW with a short period of 6 to 7 seconds. The wave energy is pretty weak, mostly in the double digits (63 to 125). The wind is messy, cross or cross-off, and it’s just not making for any kind of decent wave. Tuesday the 11th morning is surfable, but very ordinary – a 3 ft NW swell with a 7-second period, and a light N wind. It’s clean, but there’s no punch.
Wednesday the 12th morning is the closest we get to a standout in this whole period, and even then it’s nothing to write home about. We’ve got a 3 ft NW swell, still a short 6-second period, but the wind is blowing offshore from the NE at 9 mph. That makes for clean, gentle conditions. The energy is a weak 103. It’s surfable, but it’s for the die-hards. Don’t expect much.
The rest of the week into the second week is a real grind. The swell stays small, mostly 3 ft to 4 ft, and the wind is all over the place – cross, cross-off, onshore. Thursday the 13th morning has a bit more period (9 seconds) and a touch more energy (162), but the wind is light cross-off, so it’s just surfable. The same pattern repeats through the 16th, where we get a glassy morning on Sunday the 16th with a 4 ft NW swell, but the energy is still moderate (191). It’s clean, but the waves are just average.
From the 17th onward, the wind turns onshore and cross-onshore, and the quality drops right off. The swell is still tiny, and the energy is either moderate or weak. There’s a brief moment on Wednesday the 19th morning with a glassy 3 ft NW swell, but it’s weak (94 energy). The 21st and 22nd see a little more period (9 seconds) and the energy climbs into the 200s, but the wind is cross or cross-off, keeping it ordinary.
The best bet? If you’re desperate for a paddle, target Wednesday the 12th morning for the offshore wind, or the glassy mornings of the 16th and 19th. But honestly, this is a stretch for the die-hards only. The setup is so small and weak that it might be more interesting for a kite than a paddle. The crowds at Doura can show up sometimes, but with conditions this average, you’ll probably have a quiet water.
Rusty.

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.
