The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table.
First up, we’re looking at Doura, a river mouth setup that’s advanced only. The water’s running a bit colder than usual for this time of year – about 72°, which is 2° below the norm. That’s a noticeable chill.
Honestly, the outlook over the next 16 days is pretty flat and disappointing. There’s nothing that jumps out as a standout session. The forecast is dominated by weak, short-period swell from the NW, with most days showing poor surf conditions. The combined swell energy is weak, with values mostly below 100 (94, 93, 78, etc.) and only a couple of days reaching a moderate range (191, 221, 266). But even when the energy ticks up, the quality just isn’t there.
The first real chance of anything surfable comes on Monday morning, August 10th, with a clean 3 ft NW swell at 7 seconds. The wind is light cross-off from the NNW at 3 mph, which will keep it clean. But it’s ordinary – a 1/10 at best. The afternoon gets worse as the wind picks up and goes cross-shore.
Tuesday the 11th sees a similar story: small 3 ft NW swell, clean morning with light cross-off wind, but again, nothing special.
There’s a slight glimmer on Thursday morning, August 13th. We get a glassy 4 ft NW swell with a period of 9 seconds – that’s a touch of groundswell energy, and the combined energy hits 191, a moderate reading. The wind is glassy from the NW at 3 mph. For Doura, this is probably the best on offer in the whole run: clean, slightly better shaped waves, but still only ordinary conditions.
After that, it’s a long grind of poor surf. From Friday the 14th right through to Monday the 24th, the calls are consistently poor. The swell stays small, between 2 ft and 5 ft, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, creating chop. A few mornings have light wind, but the wave quality just isn’t there. The combined energy occasionally bumps up into the 200s, but the wind ruins it.
This stretch has a gap of over a week with no real recommendation. If you’re a paddle surfer, it’s a tough run. The setup at Doura, being a river mouth with fairly consistent but weak exposure, might actually look more interesting for kite surfing when the wind is up and the waves are messy.
So, the only session I’d even consider is Thursday morning, August 13th. That’s your best bet, and it’s not saying much. For the rest, keep an eye on the forecast – things can change.
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.
