Pointe d'Imessouane Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming up for Pointe d'Imessouane. This is a point break that's pretty consistent and exposed to the northwest swell, so when it gets the right combo, it can be a real treat.

The water is sitting at 72°F, which is just a hair warmer than the long-term average for this time of year, so pretty normal. The first few days are a bit of a write-off, honestly. We've got some solid swell, but the wind is just a mess. On the 10th, the morning tries with a 6ft cross-off from the north, but the swell period is a short 6 seconds, and the wave energy is just weak (264). It's a "marginal" call at best. Later that day it gets blown out completely with a 10ft swell and 25 mph winds.

Friday the 11th is where it starts to get interesting. The morning session is looking glassy as a mirror with a 6ft swell from the NNW, a 7-second period, and dead calm wind from the west. The wave energy is still moderate (365), but that glassy surface will make it super clean. This is a solid window for intermediates.

The real standout, though, is Saturday morning, the 12th. It's dead calm, zero wind, glassy conditions, with a 6ft swell from the NNW and a slightly better 8-second period. The wave energy is staying moderate (348), but with that offshore wind appeal and a clean point break setup, this is the best session on offer in the near term. The afternoon will get a bit bumpy with a light cross-onshore.

Sunday the 13th drops off a bit. The swell backs down to 3ft – still clean in the morning with a cross-off breeze, but it’s just ordinary surf. The energy is weak (148).

Now, we have a bit of a lull for a few days. The swell gets small, but the wind is mostly clean or cross-off. The standout in the second week looks to be Monday morning, the 18th of September. The forecast is showing a very good session with a 5ft NNW swell, 9-second period, and a light north cross-off wind. The wave energy is ramping up to a strong 574, and the conditions are clean. This is a long way out, so don't book your flights yet, but it's got the potential to be the best of the whole run.

Later in the week, the 25th of September morning is also worth noting. It's glassy again with a 3ft swell from the NW, but the period is a very long 13 seconds – that's a proper groundswell. The energy is moderate (255), and a long period like that will really groove on this point. It’ll be a clean, long-wall ride, but the sets will be a bit more spaced out.

The big swell windows with strong energy (like the 733 and 812 readings) are all accompanied by messy cross-shore winds, making it a no-go for a paddle board. Those days would be more interesting for the kite crew.

Bottom line: Get out for the glassy Saturday morning session on the 12th, and keep an eye on the 18th for a potential gem.

Rusty.
