The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty.
I’ve got to be straight with you: the next 16 days at Doura (river) are looking mighty quiet. For a solid stretch, we’re looking at a lot of days where the surf is just poor. There’s going to be a big gap with nothing on the cards. The water’s sitting at 74°F, which is basically normal for the time of year.
Things start to look a little more interesting from Saturday the 22nd. The morning brings in a 5ft NW swell with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 264. It’s a bit cross-shore though, which will mess with the shape. The afternoon is similar, but the cross-shore picks up a bit. It won’t be clean.
Sunday the 23rd is the size creeping up – 6ft from the NW, 8 seconds, and the combined energy is strong at 410. It’s going to be on the bigger side for this spot, and the wind is cross in the morning so it’ll be messy. The afternoon looks cleaner with a cross-off breeze, but at 5ft (energy 372) it’s really only for the advanced crew.
The morning of Monday the 24th might be the closest thing to a standout we see. The swell is 5ft from the NW, period 8 seconds, but the wind goes glassy. That’s a huge positive – clean conditions mean that moderate energy swell (244) will actually have some shape. It’s still ordinary, but it’s the best of a very quiet run.
From there it drops off again. We get a little spike around the 28th with 5ft and 5ft NW swell (314 and 291 energy) on the Friday, but it’s blown out with onshore and cross-shore winds. Not worth the paddle.
The real highlight comes on Saturday the 29th of August. The morning delivers a 5ft NW swell, period 8 seconds, combined energy a strong 329, and the wind is a perfect cross-off. That’s the window. It’s the only time the forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” The afternoon holds at 5ft, period 9 seconds, with a cleaner 390 energy, still cross-off. If I were you, I’d be circling that Saturday morning.
Remember, this is a river break, and the optimum swell is from the northwest, which is what we’re seeing. The crowd can show up sometimes, so keep that in mind. It’s fairly consistent, so even if the rest of the fortnight is flat, it tends to come back.
Stay stoked.
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.
