Pointe d'Imessouane Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with the scoop on what’s cooking at Pointe d'Imessouane for the next couple of weeks. We’ve only got one spot lighting up the board, so we’re gonna lean into it and see what this Moroccan point break has to offer.

Right off the bat, Monday the 7th is a beautiful start. We’re looking at clean, glassy 2ft waves from the WNW with a long 15-second period. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so it’ll feel fine. The combined swell energy is moderate at 352, and with that glassy morning, it’s a proper treat. The afternoon holds clean 2ft surf too, with a light cross-off breeze.

Tuesday the 8th gets a bit more interesting. Morning brings 3ft surf, but a cross-shore wind chops it up a bit. The afternoon, though, sees the swell building to 5ft but the wind jumps to a brisk 35 km/h from the N. That’s too much wind for a nice line-up, and the period drops to 7 seconds – short, weak energy. Wednesday the 9th offers a cleaner morning with 6ft waves and light cross-off wind, a solid session for an intermediate. The swell energy is moderate at 384. The afternoon gets messy again with 7ft and a moderate cross-shore.

Thursday the 10th is a morning call with 6ft and clean conditions, but the swell period is still a short 7 seconds. The energy is moderate (330). Friday the 11th through the weekend sees a drop in quality, with mostly onshore or cross-shore winds creating chop and marginal conditions. Waves hover between 3ft and 6ft, but it’s not hitting the mark.

Now, here’s where it gets exciting for the experts. Thursday the 17th is the standout. The morning brings a solid 8ft swell from the NNW with an 8-second period and light offshore winds from the N. The combined swell energy jumps to strong at 860. This is clean and powerful. The afternoon pushes even bigger, hitting 10ft with a massive 1248 energy reading, but the wind picks up to 30 km/h from the N. That’s big, clean, and heavy – strictly for experienced surfers on this point.

Friday the 18th holds size, with 8ft to 10ft waves, but the morning has cross-on wind, so aim for the afternoon when it’s a cross-shore with light breeze. The energy is very strong, hitting 2014 in the afternoon. Saturday the 19th settles down to 7ft in the morning, and the afternoon brings a clean 6ft with a light cross-off – a great finisher to the week.

From the 20th onward, the swell fades to 3ft to 4ft with weaker energy, and the winds are mostly cross-on or onshore. The last real highlight is Tuesday the 22nd morning, with 3ft from the NNW and a nice 10-second period, but it’s wrapped in a moderate north wind that keeps it from being perfect.

So, bottom line: the first few days are clean and small, then we get a big, powerful window around the 17th and 18th for the confident crew. Don’t expect much after the 20th. This is a consistent point break, so the lulls won’t last forever, but the next two weeks have some real gems if you pick your days.

Stay stoked,
Rusty.
