The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again, but in feet and knots. Let’s break down Doura over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a river mouth, exposed to that NW swell, and it’s looking like a real struggle. The first few days are a total loss for any decent paddle surfing. The swell is tiny and the wind is all over the place. Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th have some waves, but the energy is weak (65 and 98) and conditions are poor. The water is 71°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year.
Friday the 14th morning is the one bright spot in the first week. The swell comes up to 4ft from the NW with a 11-second period, which is a nice long-period groundswell for a river mouth. The energy hits 256 (moderate), and the wind is a light offshore from the NW at 5 km/h. Glassy. That’s your best bet. But the afternoon gets cross-shore and messy again.
From Saturday the 15th through the end of the month, the swell holds between 3ft and 6ft, but the wind is almost always onshore or cross-on from the west or west-northwest. The period drops to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, short-period windswell. The energy is moderate to strong (values like 392 and 338), but it’s all messy, choppy, and poor quality. Monday the 17th morning has a brief moment of glassy conditions with 4ft swell, but it’s still short period and moderate energy. Surfable, but nothing special.
The last little window is Tuesday the 25th of August. The morning goes glassy again with a 3ft NW swell and a 9-second period, energy at 145. Clean, but small. After that, it’s back to the same cross-shore chop.
So, flat out: this is a rough forecast. The only real windows are the early mornings of Friday the 14th, and maybe Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 25th if you’re desperate. The rest of the 16 days is a cross-onshore, choppy mess. This river mouth might be better for a kite than a surfboard on most of these days.
Hang in there, forecasts change. Rusty 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.
