Pointe d'Imessouane Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Pointe d'Imessouane.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week or so is pretty grim. For a spot that’s usually a consistent point break, we’re looking at a real dry spell. The wind is a mess, mostly cross or even onshore, and the swell is a bit of a jumbled mess for days. The water is sitting at 69°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t come until Sunday the 19th. That morning we get a brief window of pure magic: glassy conditions with a 5ft swell from the NNW. The combined energy is moderate at (261), and while the period is a short 7 seconds, that clean, glassy surface will make it look a lot better than it sounds. It’s a short window before the wind picks up again, but for a few hours, that’s the best we’ve got.

After that, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The mornings of the 20th and 21st offer some hope with a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the ESE and a 6-6ft NNW swell (energy around 305-329). It’s still a short period, but the wind will clean it up nicely. That’s about as good as it gets in the first half of the outlook.

Now, if you’ve got patience, the end of the run is where things get interesting, but it’s a long way out. Sunday the 26th of July serves up a solid 10ft swell from the NNW with a period just creeping up to 8 seconds. The energy is strong at (1191), but the wind is a light cross-onshore. That’s a lot of water moving, and it’ll be a big, powerful point break. This is expert territory at that size, and with the cross-onshore, it won’t be perfect. Still, for size hunters, it’s a promising, if uncertain, target.

The real standout for the whole 16 days, if you can wait, looks like Tuesday the 28th of July. That morning we get a clean cross-offshore breeze from the north, a 7ft NNW swell, and a combined energy of (499). The wind will be clean, the swell is a good size for intermediates, and it’s a point break so it should handle that longer period reasonably well. That’s your best bet, but it’s a long way off, so don’t book the time off just yet.

Summing it up: This week is a write-off. The 19th gives us a taste of glass, but the real action, if it comes together, is the last few days of the month. Keep an eye on Tuesday the 28th.

Rusty.
