The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks at Pointe d’Imessouane.
We’re starting slow. Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th August are duds – little 4ft swells with messy cross-shore winds that’ll chop things up. Monday 17th is only marginally better, still weak. The water’s about 72°, right where it should be for this time of year.
The first real hope is Tuesday 18th early. It’s only 3ft from the NNW, but the wind is glass – dead flat. That’s a gift for this exposed point, even if the combined energy is weak (123). You might get a few clean little lines before the wind picks up.
Then we hit a big gap. From Wednesday 19th through Thursday 20th, it’s all poor: small, cross-shore chop and barely any energy. Not worth wetting a wetsuit.
The standout arrives Sunday 23rd August, early. We’ve got 6ft from the NNW, period 7 seconds – not a groundswell, but the energy is solid (336), and the wind is a light cross-off from the north. That’s clean, lined-up waves at this classic point. It’s consistent, exposed to the NW, and crowds are rare – you could have the place to yourself. Perfect for intermediate surfers.
Monday 24th morning still has 7ft but more cross wind, so it’s less clean. Tuesday 25th morning is another good one: 6ft, clean cross-off, 406 energy.
But keep an eye on Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd – the swell jumps to 8ft with fresh cross-shore winds, making it lumpy and gnarly. That’s expert-only, or kite surfers’ territory.
Into the second week, the pattern stays similar. Sunday 30th August morning offers 3ft from the NW with a 9-second period, but it’s cross-shore and weak.
So the big one’s Sunday 23rd August early. That’s the session to pin your hopes on. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty.

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.
