The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for the next couple of weeks.
We’re starting with a bit of a slow build. The first few days are pretty ordinary, with a lot of marginal conditions. It’s not until Tuesday the 25th that we get something worth paddling out for. The standout of the whole period is hands down the Saturday the 29th. That morning at Doura is looking like a gem. We’ve got a solid 6ft of swell from the NW, with a period of 11 seconds, so it’s a proper groundswell with some good energy—combined energy rating of 844 (moderate). The kicker is the wind: glassy, absolutely dead calm. That means the river mouth setup will be clean as a whistle. This is an advanced-only wave, and with a swell this size (over 5ft), it’s definitely too much for beginners. The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The day before, Friday the 28th afternoon, also shows a pulse of 6ft NW swell (11 seconds) with a high combined energy of 949 (moderate), but the wind is a cross-offshore, so it won’t be as pristine as Saturday. Still, it’s a notable bump.
After that, the surf settles back down. The first week of September sees a few mornings with clean conditions, like Tuesday the 1st morning with 5ft NW and a light cross-off breeze, and Thursday the 3rd morning with 5ft NW and a gentle cross-off. But overall, the consistency drops off and the winds get a bit more side-on or onshore. Nothing else in the second week really screams “drop everything and go.”
Because Doura is a river mouth, that long-period groundswell (11 seconds) on the 29th will be peeling nicely along the bank, not just closing out. And honestly, that glassy Saturday morning is your best bet. Get out there early.
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.
