The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough one to call. The truth is, for the next couple of weeks, Doura is looking pretty sad. We’ve got a solid 16-day window here, but the first week and a half is basically a write-off. I’m looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions right from the start, with cross-onshore winds and choppy, weak waves. You’re looking at a gap of about 11 days before anything even starts to feel worthwhile.
The only real glimmer of hope comes right at the very end of the forecast. If you can hold out, the morning of Wednesday, 26 August is the one to circle. We’ve got some clean, glassy conditions with a light offshore NNE breeze, and a solid 5ft NW swell rolling in. The combined energy is moderate at 268 (moderate wave energy), and that 8-second period is a decent short-period groundswell that should hold its shape. This is the best on offer, but it’s a long-range call, so don’t bet the farm on it yet.
The Saturday morning of 29 August is also worth a mention. The swell bumps up to 6ft from the NW with a 9-second period, and the combined energy jumps up to 573 (strong wave energy). It’s a bigger day, but it’s also a “marginal” call with some cross-shore chop. For the crew who are comfortable in bigger, more powerful waves, it could be a fun session, but it’s not the clean, polished day the 26th is shaping up to be.
The rest of the time? You’re looking at tiny, weak swells or poor, choppy conditions. The water temperature is sitting at about 73°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing while you’re waiting for a wave that never comes.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the long-range charts, and remember that even a slow period like this is just part of the rhythm.

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.
