The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks. It's a proper slow cooker start, so don't be in a rush.
We've got a long stretch coming up where the main event, Doura (river), is just not turning it on. From now through the middle of next week, the swell is tiny and the conditions are junk. You're looking at Wednesday the 19th through Monday the 24th of August with nothing worth paddling out for. The combined swell energy is barely registering, sitting between 36 and 150 (weak to moderate). It's a real quiet patch, but with a break like this, that's not too unusual. The water temp is sitting at 74°F, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year.
Now, early on Friday the 21st of August we see a tiny blip – a 1ft swell from the WNW with light offshore wind from the NE. That's clean, but the wave size is just too small to get excited about. The energy is still weak at 59.
Things finally start to wake up around the 27th and 28th of August. Thursday the 27th has a morning session with a 5ft NW swell but a strong 16 mph offshore wind. That’s clean but punchy. The energy is building, hitting 238 (moderate). The real standout though, is the afternoon of Friday the 28th of August. We’ve got a clean 5ft NW swell with a 9 mph cross-offshore breeze from the NNW. The combined energy jumps up to 333 (moderate) and the forecast says "expect good surf conditions." This is your best bet in the first week, but it’s still fairly ordinary and only for advanced surfers given the size.
Heading into the second week, the outlook gets more promising but less certain. Tuesday the 1st of September is the one to circle. The morning shows a 5ft NW swell with light cross-offshore wind from the NNE. The energy cranks up to 415 (strong), and the wave period stretches to 9 seconds, which is solid. That’s a good sign for a point break or river mouth. The stand-out in the whole 16-day window is the morning of Wednesday the 2nd of September. We’ve got a 5ft NW swell, light 3 mph offshore wind from the N, and the energy is still high at 382 (strong). The conditions are clean and it’s looking like the best quality surf on offer. That’s your true highlight. Thursday the 3rd of September also has a similar setup in the morning with a 6ft NW swell and 6 mph offshore wind, so that could be a good backup. Just remember, the crowds at Doura can show up sometimes, so you might have to share the take-off zone.
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.
