Pointe d'Imessouane Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at this spot.

We’re starting off a bit slow, but there’s a real nice run of surf building through the end of the week and into the weekend. The first few days are a bit of a write-off—Wednesday and Thursday are plagued by onshore and cross-shore winds making for chop and poor conditions. The swell is there, around 6ft to 7ft from the NNW, but the wind just ruins it. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate (324 - 427), but it’s not worth paddling out for.

Things start to turn around on Friday morning, the 24th. We get a light cross-offshore breeze and clean conditions. Swell is 6ft from the NNW, period 8 seconds, and the energy is picking up to moderate (397). This is where it starts to get interesting.

Saturday morning, July 25th, is your first real standout. The swell is 8ft from the NNW, period 8 seconds, and the combined energy is solid (686). The wind is a clean cross-offshore, making for some nice, lined-up waves. This is a great window for an intermediate surfer. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

Sunday morning, July 26th, is also very good, with similar conditions—8ft, clean cross-offshore wind, and strong energy (762). The afternoons get too windy and lumpy, so stick to the early sessions.

The next week brings a mix of marginal conditions, but keep your eyes peeled for Friday morning, July 31st. The wind goes glassy, totally flat calm. Swell is 8ft from the NNW, period 7 seconds, energy is strong (676). This will be clean, smooth, and fun.

Then, the real standout of the whole outlook is Saturday, August 1st. The morning has 10ft swell from the NNW, clean cross-offshore wind, and massive energy (920). The afternoon gets even better—12ft swell, same direction, glassy conditions, and the energy rockets up to 1715. This is expert territory, but for those with the skills, it’s going to be epic. The waves will be powerful and well-shaped. This is a promising long-range call, but it’s a week and a half out, so keep an eye on the forecasts.

After that, we get a few more glassy mornings on August 3rd (7ft) and a tapering of swell into the second week. The run ends with small, weak swell and poor conditions after August 3rd, so the first week and a half is where the action is.

Pointe d'Imessouane is a consistent point break, and it’s exposed to the NW swell. It’s a rare spot that breaks well, so when it’s on, it’s a treat. Crowds are rare here, which is a bonus.

All in all, the best windows are Saturday morning the 25th and Friday morning the 31st for clean, fun waves, and Saturday the 1st of August for the big stuff.

Rusty.
