The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Pointe d'Imessouane has cooking for us. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but a real standout window is shaping up for the end of the month.
The water’s sitting at a pretty standard 71°, nothing unusual for this time of year. The first real action we can talk about is on Monday the 17th. That morning the wind is glassy, dead calm, with a clean 4 ft swell from the NNW. The energy’s moderate at 228. It’s not huge, but those conditions will be smooth as silk. That afternoon, the wind swings cross-shore and it gets a bit messy, so get out there early.
Then we hit a dry spell. Tuesday the 18th through to Thursday the 21st are mostly poor, with small, weak energy and cross-shore wind messing things up. Friday the 21st afternoon sees a big jump in swell – 8 ft – but the wind howls at 31 mph from the NNW, making it a lumpy mess. That’s more of a kite-surfing situation than a clean paddle session.
Saturday the 22nd morning offers a decent window: 6 ft swell with clean, cross-off wind from the north and moderate energy (377). The swell’s period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit fat, but it’s the best of a quiet spell. The afternoon gets blown out again.
We get another few days of mediocrity until we hit the real standout. Friday the 28th of August morning is where it’s at. We’ve got a solid 7 ft swell from the NNW, clean cross-off wind from the north, and strong energy at 630. This is for experienced surfers only – that’s a lot of power and it’s a point break, so it should hold up well. Get ready.
But the absolute best of the whole run lands on Sunday the 30th of August morning. Glassy conditions, 8 ft swell from the NNW with a slightly longer 9-second period, and massive wave energy at 1050. The forecast says excellent for experienced surfers, and I can feel it. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. The following Monday and Tuesday also have some clean morning windows with solid groundswell energy, but nothing tops that Sunday session.
So, to sum it up: next week is a slow grind with a couple of short clean windows. The real gold is 11 days out, on the 28th and especially the 30th of August. Go big or go home. Rusty out.
