The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Pointe d'Imessouane over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a long stretch from Thursday, July 16th right through to the end of the week after that where the surf is on offer, but it’s nothing to write home about. The wind is pretty much stuck in a cross-shore pattern, and the wave quality is marginal at best, with a persistent cross-chop messing things up. The swell is there, but it’s short-period stuff, mostly around 7 seconds, and it just doesn’t have the shape you want. The combined energy is moderate, ranging from (204) up to (768), but it never clicks with the conditions. You’ll see some size, with waves around 5 ft to 8 ft, but it’s all a bit of a messy affair. The water temp is hovering around 69°, which is pretty much average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
Then, finally, the wait pays off. The real standout is the morning of Saturday, July 25th. The wind goes glassy, light from the SE, and the swell kicks up to 8 ft out of the NNW. With that glassy surface, the waves will be clean and lined up. The combined energy hits a strong (970). This is the moment you’ve been waiting for. It’s still a bit big for beginners, but for intermediates and above, it’s going to be a morning to remember.
The morning of Sunday, July 26th is another absolute cracker. The swell is a solid 10 ft, still from the NNW, and the wind is glassy again from the W. That’s big, powerful surf, only for the experienced crew. The combined energy is a massive (1250). This is the best of the best on offer, but look, with that size, it’s going to be a serious session. The point break at Pointe d'Imessouane will handle that long-period groundswell beautifully, giving you long, drawn-out walls.
After that, the quality drops off again. The wind starts to chop things up, and by the end of the month, the swell backs right off. The Thursday morning of the 30th has some strong cross-offshore wind, but the swell is dropping and the energy is weak (329). It’s not worth paddling out for.
So, to sum it up: the first ten days are a grind, but the 25th and 26th of July are the true standouts. Get ready for those glassy mornings.
Rusty.

Information about the Pointe d'Imessouane Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Pointe d'Imessouane provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Pointe d'Imessouane can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Pointe d'Imessouane 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.
