The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s dig into what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’m gonna be straight with you — this is a tough stretch. Nothing’s firing, and for most of the run, we’re looking at weak, ordinary surf with tricky winds. The water is sitting at 71°F, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so you might want to dig out a thicker spring suit.
The first solid recommendation doesn’t show up until Saturday, 2nd August. That morning, Doura (river) is seeing a glassy, clean surface with 2 ft swell from the WNW, period around 9 seconds, and combined energy is moderate at 104. It’s not big, but the glassy conditions are a real treat — the wave faces will be clean. The rest of the day gets wrecked by a cross-off breeze though, so that morning window is the one to chase.
Sunday the 3rd and Monday the 4th? Forget it. Waves are tiny, around 1 ft, and the wind is messy. Then Tuesday the 5th and Wednesday the 6th show a slight bump up to 3 ft from the NW, but it’s short period — 6 to 8 seconds — and the combined energy stays moderate (108 to 126), but honestly, the surf is just ordinary. Nothing to get excited about.
Friday the 7th of August is the best of the bunch. The morning is glassy again, with 3 ft swell from the NW, period 7 seconds, and combined energy at 126 — moderate but with clean, glassy conditions, the waves will be rideable and fun for a grovel session. That’s the standout window.
The rest of the first week into the second week is a blur of weak, short-period NW swell, cross-off winds, and poor surf. There’s a bit of a spike on 13th and 14th August with 4 ft swell from the NW, period 8 seconds, and energy climbing to 152 and 161 — still moderate, but the wind is cross or cross-on, so it’s messy.
By Sunday 16th August, the swell drops back to 2 ft and onshore winds ruin it. The long-range outlook is a quiet one, with no real standouts in the second week. Forecaster confidence is low — it’s just a flat, poor stretch.
If you’re desperate, the glassy windows on Saturday 2nd and Friday 7th August are your best bet for a paddling session. Otherwise, the setup at Doura — a river break — looks more like it’s begging for a kite than a surfboard right now.
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.
