Pointe d'Imessouane Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a 16-day window for Pointe d'Imessouane, and it’s a bit of a slow burner, but there are some gems to chase.

The first few days are pretty lacklustre. Wednesday the 2nd sees a messy 5ft NNW swell, but with a cross shore wind, it’s not worth getting excited about. The pattern is weak and inconsistent. The water is sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year.

Thursday the 3rd morning offers a little glimmer – 4ft of NNW swell and glassy conditions. It’s surfable, but nothing special. The energy is low (174). The rest of the week is pretty flat or blown out, so you’re looking at a gap of a few days with no real recommendation.

Now, Sunday the 6th morning is where it starts to pick up. A clean 5ft NNW swell with glassy conditions – the energy is building (257) and it’s looking like a decent session for the keen.

The real standout, though, is Tuesday the 8th morning. Clear skies, a 6ft NNW swell, and a clean cross-off breeze. The combined energy is strong (512) – that’s proper push. This is the best on offer in the first week. The swell is in the 5ft to 8ft range, so it’s getting a bit punchy for beginners, but for intermediates, it’s a ripper.

Wednesday the 9th is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning has a 6ft NNW swell with some size, but the cross wind makes it messy. The afternoon pushes up to 8ft, which is getting into expert territory, and the wind is stronger. The energy is massive (869), but the conditions are marginal.

The second week sees a drop in size but a rise in quality. Thursday the 10th morning is glassy with a 6ft NNW swell – clean and inviting. The energy is still solid (381). Friday the 11th morning is also glassy with a 4ft swell, but the energy is dropping.

Then we get a real interesting one on Monday the 14th morning. Flat calm, glassy, and a 2ft swell from the WNW with a very long period of 15 seconds. The energy is moderate (249), but that long period groundswell will wrap beautifully around this point. This is a classic point break setup, and the long period means it’ll be organised and powerful for its size. This is another standout for the more patient surfer.

The final push comes on Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th. The energy is huge on Tuesday afternoon (920) with a 4ft NW swell and a 13-second period, but the cross wind is a factor. Wednesday the 16th morning is the pick of the second week: glassy, a 4ft NW swell with a 13-second period, and strong energy (525). That’s a long-range standout, but with the long period and glassy conditions, it’s a promising one.

Remember, this is a consistent point break, so it’s reliable. Just watch the wind. The crowds are rare here, so you’ll have plenty of space.

Rusty out.
