The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid look at Pointe d'Imessouane for the next couple of weeks, and it’s a proper point break that knows how to handle a bit of North-West energy. It’s a consistent spot, which is a good start, and it’s wide open to the swell. The water is sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need the thickest rubber.
The first real chance to get wet kicks off on the morning of Thursday, August 20th. It’s not huge, with clean waves around 3 ft from the NNW, but the wind is a light cross-offshore from the N, making it look pretty tidy. The energy is weak though, only about 136. It’s a gentle start.
Friday the 21st picks up a bit. The morning sees a bump in size to 5 ft from the NNW, with that same clean cross-off breeze. The energy is moderating (231), and the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’ll be a little lumpy, but it’s surfable. The afternoon turns into a messy cross-shore mess with 19 mph winds, so don’t bother with that.
Saturday the 22nd is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning brings 4 ft waves from the NNW with a light cross-shore breeze, but it’s a bit weak and the conditions are only marginal. The afternoon is a write-off with cross-shore winds.
Sunday the 23rd morning is worth a paddle. The swell is 4 ft from the NNW, but the period jumps to 10 seconds, which is a nice groundswell push. The energy is moderate (230), and the wind is a light cross-shore. It’s not perfect, but it’s a step up.
Monday the 24th is a bit of a tease. The morning offers 5 ft from the NW with a solid 11-second period, giving moderate energy (475). The wind is cross-shore, so it’s not clean, but the swell has some grunt.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The standout window starts to open up on Thursday the 27th. The morning brings 6 ft from the NNW, and that cross-offshore wind from the N is back. It’s clean, and the energy is moderate (372). The real highlight, though, is Friday the 28th morning. The swell is a solid 7 ft from the NNW, with a light cross-offshore breeze and a period of 8 seconds. The energy is strong (547), and the conditions are set to be very good. This is your best bet for the first week. The waves will be a bit punchy, so it’s intermediate territory.
The second week has a real gem on Sunday, August 30th. The morning is glassy. The wind is dead calm from the NW, and the swell is 7 ft from the NNW. The energy is strong (682). It’s a classic point break setup with that long period from the NW, and it’s going to be a joy to surf. This is the standout of the entire forecast.
The following week, Wednesday, September 2nd, is another glassy morning with 6 ft from the NNW and good energy. Then Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th mornings both have very good conditions. Thursday the 3rd has a clean cross-offshore breeze and 6 ft swell, while Friday the 4th is glassy with a 8 ft swell. Both are strong options.
So, to wrap it up: the best on offer is the glassy morning of Sunday, August 30th, with that 7 ft, clean, powerful swell. Friday the 28th morning is a close second for the first week. Get on it.
Rusty, signing off.
