The Lowdown
Right, listen up. Rusty here.
First up, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The surf is pretty ordinary to kick things off. Monday the 31st of August is not worth getting out of bed for. We’re looking at a small, weak swell with a choppy wind. It’s a real case of “maybe tomorrow.”
Things start to look a little more promising as we move into Tuesday. The swell picks up a touch, and by Wednesday morning, we get a clean window with the wind going offshore at Doura. That’s a river break, so it’s a bit more forgiving than a heavy reef, but it’s still an advanced wave. The swell is around 5 feet out of the NW, with a short period of 8 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit of a fat, crumbly wave. The energy is moderate (299), so it’s not a slouch, but it’s not a freight train either. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no need for a full winter suit, just a spring one.
The standout of the whole forecast period is undeniably the window from Sunday the 7th of September through Tuesday the 9th of September. The swell direction is perfect out of the NW, and the period gets long. On Monday the 7th, we see a 15-second period groundswell that builds energy to 286 – that’s proper groundswell, and it’s going to wrap around and hit the river mouth with some real shape. The wind is glassy to light offshore, so the surface will be clean. 3 feet at 15 seconds doesn’t sound huge, but that long period will give you a nice, lined-up wave. It’s better than the numbers suggest. The real highlight is Tuesday morning, the 8th of September. We’ve got a 3-feet swell from the NW, a 12-second period, and a light offshore breeze. The energy is moderately strong at 363. This is your best bet for a clean, fun session. The crowd profile is “sometimes,” so you might have a few mates out, but it’s not a zoo.
After that, the swell drops off again. By the 10th of September, the wind goes cross-shore and the swell period drops, making it messy. The second week is a bit of a write-off, with a few small, weak swells and poor wind. The energy is low, and the waves are just not worth the effort. There’s a small bump on the 12th of September with a 4-feet NW swell at 10 seconds and glassy conditions, but it fades quickly.
Truth is, the only real window that’s worth chasing is the 7th, 8th, and 9th of September. Mark it on your calendar, get the wax out, and be ready.
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.
