The Lowdown
Right then, Rusty here, looking at the Doura stretch. It’s a quiet start to the outlook, so don’t rush to wax up just yet.
We’re talkin’ about a river mouth break that needs a good, long NW groundswell and clean wind to really turn on. For the first several days, it’s just too small and the wind is off, leaving the surf flat and messy. There is one proper window that shows up in the second week.
On Monday the 14th, we get a slight pulse of NW swell, about 2-3ft with a nice long period of 11-12 seconds. That long period gives the wave shape and punch, perfect for a river mouth, but the lulls will be longer. The real magic is the morning: glassy, dead calm, with combined wave energy at 189 (moderate). It’s clean, just a little underwhelming on size.
Then on Friday the 18th, the size bumps up. Expect waves in the 5-6ft range from the NW (10-second period). The morning is the call here with the wind going dead glassy, and the combined energy jumps to 517 (strong). The waves will have good power and be clean.
But the session to really point your truck at is Tuesday the 22nd. This is the one. Doura should be holding a solid 4-5ft swell from the NNW, with a long, 14-second period. The wind is a light offshore from the NNE – an absolute game-changer for keeping the walls clean and hollow. The combined energy is pumping at 742 (strong), so there’s serious power in the water. This is not for beginners; a heavy river mouth at this size is for the experienced only. Expect the crowd to be out for this one. This is your standout day.
After that, the swell fades fast, and by the 27th it’s flat again. So, you’ve got a long, slow start with very little, then a build, and then one killer window. Tuesday the 22nd morning is your best shot: clean, powerful, and worth the wait.
Alright, catch you in the water.

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.
