Pointe d'Imessouane Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ down the pipe for Pointe d'Imessouane.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a nothing burger starting this Friday afternoon, July 31st. Small 4ft swell from the NNW with a short period of 7 seconds, and combined wave energy is weak at 153. It’s surfable, but don’t get your hopes up. The water temp is sittin' right around 69°F, which is pretty much average for this time of year.

Saturday, August 1st, is a write-off. Tiny, weak swell and poor conditions all day. We’re in a bit of a lull here.

Then Sunday morning, August 2nd, things start to look a whole lot better. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the NNW, still a short period of 6 seconds, but the energy is starting to build into the moderate range at 273. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the North at 9 mph, keeping things clean. This is a solid little window for the intermediate crew. The afternoon, however, gets blown out by a strong 19 mph cross-shore, so get your session in early.

Monday morning, August 3rd, is a bit of a mixed bag. The swell drops a touch to 5ft, and the wind is light cross-shore, creating some ripples. It’s marginal, but there’s a wave there if you’re keen.

The next few days, right through to the end of the first week of August, are a story of solid swell but poor wind. The swell sticks around the 6ft to 8ft mark from the NNW, with moderate to strong energy readings (up to 538 on the afternoon of the 5th). But the wind is a persistent cross-shore, often fresh, and it’s just making a mess of things. The mornings on August 5th and 7th offer a brief window of clean conditions with cross-offshore winds, but the swell is getting up there—6ft to 7ft—so it’s pushing into intermediate territory and a bit much for the groms.

Now, let’s talk about the standout. The real gem in this forecast is Wednesday morning, August 12th. We’ve got a solid 7ft swell from the North, a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is strong at 575. But the kicker? The wind is glassy. Absolutely dead calm. That’s a rare treat, and for a point break like this, that is going to be the best session of the whole 16 days by a long shot. The next morning, Thursday, August 13th, is also decent with a 6ft swell and light cross-offshore winds, but it’s not quite the same magic.

For the second week, the pattern holds. Thursday morning, August 14th, is another strong call with a 8ft swell from the NNW (period 8 seconds, very strong energy at 788) and clean cross-offshore winds. That’s a big, powerful wave for the experienced crew. Saturday morning, August 15th, also looks promising with 6ft swell and glassy conditions from the WNW again.

Overall, the first few days are a bit of a dud, but there are some absolute crackers coming up. The 12th of August morning is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s a long way out, so the forecast might shift, but right now it looks like a day to remember.

Rusty, signing off.
