The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, checking in on the local banks. We've got a pretty clear picture for the next couple of weeks, so let's get into it.
We're looking at a slow start. The opening days of this forecast period are a write-off. Wednesday afternoon and all of Thursday are no good, with poor surf and choppy, cross-shore winds. The water temp is sitting at 73°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so at least a wetsuit isn't a worry.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Friday, August 28th. The morning is looking like a sneaky option. We've got a clean 5ft NW swell with a moderate offshore breeze from the NNE. It's not huge, but it's rideable and the wind is working for us. The wave energy is moderate, sitting at 270.
But the real standout, the one you want to circle on the calendar, is Saturday, August 29th. The morning is looking absolutely prime. We're getting a solid 6ft NW groundswell, with a period of 11 seconds, pumping in with a very strong combined energy of 703. The wind is going to be glassy, dead calm from the NNE. That means Doura is going to be clean, lined up, and holding that swell beautifully. This is the best window of the whole run. The afternoon will still be fun with a cross-offshore breeze, but the morning is the clear winner.
The weekend after that, Sunday the 30th, still has some fun waves around 4ft, and the morning is glassy again, but the energy is a lot lower. Monday and Tuesday are mostly clean but a bit ordinary.
Looking further out, there's a pulse building again around Thursday, September 10th. The morning shows a solid 6ft NW swell rolling in, but the wind is a light cross-onshore, which is a bit of a bummer. The energy is there, with a strong rating of 454, but the conditions are marginal. It's a promising long-range look, but we'll have to see how that wind shapes up as we get closer.
Overall, the play is simple: if you can only paddle out once, make it the early session on Saturday the 29th. That's as good as it gets around here.
Rusty out.

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.
