The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've had a good look at the forecast for our local stretch, and I've got to be straight with you – it's a pretty lean run ahead. The standout window is a narrow one, and it's all about the Saturday morning session at the end of the month. For the rest of the 16 days, we're looking at a whole lot of nothing.
Let's talk about the one real highlight. The best bet by a long shot is a session at Anchor Point (La-Pointedes-Ancres) on Saturday, 29th of August, in the morning. The water temp is sitting at 70°F, which is pretty much normal for the time of year. That morning, we've got a glassy surface with a light southwesterly breeze, so it's going to be clean. The swell is coming from the northwest at 4ft with a long period of 11 seconds. That's a proper groundswell, and with 287 units of combined energy, you can feel the push out there. Northwest is the optimum direction for this spot, so it should set up nicely. This is the only time in the whole forecast you'll get a genuine "good surf conditions" call, so don't sleep on it.
Now, the rest of the forecast is a bit of a headache. After that Saturday morning, it drops off. The Sunday morning (30th August) is surfable but very ordinary, and then from Monday through to Wednesday, 9th September, we're looking at a long stretch of days with poor surf conditions. There are a few afternoons with a bit of swell, but the wind is never right, and the wave quality is just not there. The energy levels are mostly weak to moderate, with values like 55, 69, and 13, which tells you the ocean is just flat.
The week after the 29th is a write-off. The combined energy barely gets into the triple digits, and the short period swells (7-8 seconds) mean the waves will be weak and crumbly. Even the mornings that are glassy can't muster up any decent swell. It's a very quiet period, so don't hold your breath for any surprises.
For the long-range stuff, the 5th and 6th of September have a few glassy mornings, but the swell is tiny (3ft to 3ft) and the energy is low. It's honestly not worth getting excited about.
So, there you have it. The future is looking pretty quiet, but that Saturday morning at Anchor Point is the real deal. Make the most of it.
Rusty.

Information about the Anchor Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Anchor Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Anchor Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Anchor Point 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 (Anchor Point) 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 Anchor Point 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.
Anchor Point is 8 km (5 miles) from the city of Agadir. If you plan a holiday in Central Morocco, look for hotels and other accommodation in Agadir. Agadir has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
