The Lowdown
Alright, let’s run through it again in feet, for you lot.
Pointe d'Imessouane is a consistent, exposed point break that needs a NW swell to light up. Right now, we’re in a flat spell. Water temp is about 72°F, which is normal for the season.
From Sunday the 16th through Thursday the 21st, it’s a total bust. Swell is tiny – 3 to 4ft at most – with short periods around 7 to 8 seconds. Energy readings are all low. The wind is cross-shore and choppy. No reason to get wet.
Friday the 21st stays small and poor. The afternoon wind picks up to 19 mph, making it lumpy.
Things wake up a bit on Saturday the 22nd. Swell hits 5ft, and the energy climbs to moderate levels (380 in the morning, 431 in the afternoon). But the wind is still cross-shore, so it’s only marginal at best.
The real standout is Tuesday the 25th of August, and specifically the morning session. Swell is a solid 7ft from the NNW, period stretches to 10 seconds, and the energy reading screams at 1164 (strong wave energy). But the magic is the wind – glassy, dead calm at 3 mph from the W. That is as clean as it gets. The wave comment says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” This is the window. The swell direction is a bit off the optimum (NW is best for this break), so the waves might not have perfect shape, but with glassy conditions and that much energy, it’ll be very good. If you’re an experienced surfer, be there.
The afternoon of the 25th jumps to 10ft but gets cross-shore and chopped.
From Wednesday 26th to Monday 31st August, we see some waist-to-head-high swell (5 to 7ft), but the wind is cross-shore most afternoons. A few mornings, like Friday the 28th, have a clean breeze and 5ft waves – a decent option, but nothing like Tuesday.
Bottom line: the first week is a dud. The one day to really plan for is Tuesday 25 August morning. Glassy, big, powerful. After that, a few alright mornings but nothing special.
Rusty.

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.
