Pointe d'Imessouane Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in from the coast. We've got a bit of a quiet start, but the second week is lookin' seriously tasty. Let's talk about Pointe d'Imessouane.

First up, the water temp is sittin' at 70°F which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no need for a thick wetsuit.

The next few days are a bit of a write-off, to be honest. Thursday the 30th is a mess – cross-onshore wind and a weak, short-period swell, just a sloppy 6ft on offer. The energy is weak (296). Friday the 31st and Saturday the 1st aren't much better; the wind is a bit messy and the swell is small and weak. We've got a gap of a few days with nothing really worth paddling out for.

But hold on, Sunday the 2nd of August afternoon shows a pulse. The swell hits 8ft from the NNW, and the wind goes clean cross-off from the north at 16 mph. The energy jumps to a solid 584. That's a real session, and the clean conditions will make it worth the wait.

Monday the 3rd of August morning is also a good shout with 7ft clean surf and a lighter breeze. The wind is cross-off from the NNW, making for some clean lines. The energy is moderate (434).

Then things start to get really interesting. The real standout is shaping up for Tuesday the 11th of August. The morning session is looking like the pick of the whole forecast. The swell is a solid 7ft from the NNW, with a period of 7 seconds, and the wind is dead glassy. The energy is solid (594). That's a rare combination here – clean, glassy conditions with a decent-sized swell. This is a serious windowsill session.

Later that same day, Tuesday the 11th afternoon, it picks up to 8ft with clean cross-off winds, but the morning glass-off is the one to aim for.

The end of the second week, around the 12th and 13th of August, shows some big energy – 1180 on the Wednesday afternoon – but the wind is a bit cross or cross-on, making it less than perfect. That kind of swell (10ft) is definitely for experienced surfers only. It's a bit too big for beginners.

So, overall, this is a tale of two forecasts. The first week is a bit of a dud, but the second week, especially the glassy morning of Tuesday the 11th, is where it's at. That's the one to circle on the calendar.

Rusty.
