The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The next week and a half isn’t looking epic by any stretch, but Thursday the 24th and the Monday the 28th through Tuesday the 29th are the standouts, so mark your calendar for those. There’s a lot of knee-high slop early on and a run of poor conditions that’ll test your patience.
Honestly, the first few days are a write-off. We’ve got a small, weak swell on Tuesday afternoon, with the water sitting at about 71°F, which is over 2° colder than usual, so you’ll want the booties and a hood. Winds are cross and the energy is weak (80). Wednesday isn’t much better, just dribbly and cross-onshore. The swell bumps up a bit Thursday, but the conditions are still messy, and the period stays short. Don’t get too excited.
The first true glimmer comes early Friday morning. The glassy conditions are a big deal, and we see a jump in the energy to a moderate 478 with a clean, glassy surface. It’s waist-high on the sets with a nice NW pulse. Saturday morning also looks okay, with a clean light offshore breeze, but the swell is already backing off and the period has dropped. The wind swings around and gets fresh on Sunday afternoon, blowing out any remaining shape.
We hit a bit of a lull from Sunday through Wednesday morning, with dropped energy and small waves. There are some clean windows, like Tuesday and Wednesday mornings when it goes glassy, but you’re scraping on thigh-high dribble with very ordinary quality.
Then, it all changes on Thursday the 24th of September. The morning is glassy again, the energy pushes back up to a strong 497 with a proper 4ft of NW groundswell at 13 seconds. That’s the best combo of size and clean conditions we get in this stretch. It’s still only chest-high, but the quality is there. Friday drops off again and conditions go poor, with the energy halving and more onshore wind.
The following Monday and Tuesday, the 28th and 29th, are your other golden hours. The energy is checking in at 363 and 427 respectively, with glassy mornings giving way to clean cross-off breezes. It’s consistent chest-high waves with that longer 12-13 second period, making for much better shape. These are the days to get your fix. The wind finally swings onshore by Wednesday the 30th, so that’s your cue to find something else to do.
I’m Rusty, signing off.

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.
