The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty checking in. We've got a mixed bag coming down the pipeline at Pointe d'Imessouane. Water temps are sitting right around 68°, which is pretty standard for this time of year – nothing to get chilly about.
The next 16 days are going to be a real test of patience. The surf window is wide open, but decent conditions are going to be few and far between for the first week. Most of the swell is coming from the NNW with short-period, weak energy (combined energy bouncing around 300-500), and the wind is locked into that cross-shore or even cross-onshore direction. That means a lot of lumpy, choppy, poor surf conditions.
The few bright spots are early mornings. Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th have some morning windows with light winds and waist-high swell, but the forecast still calls it marginal. We'll have to take what we can get.
Now, the real standout shows up on Friday the 24th of July. For the morning session, we're looking at clean, head-high swell from the NNW at around 6ft... but the real headline is the glassy conditions. Calm wind, zero breeze. The water will be like a mirror and the waves will be perfection. The combined energy reading is 302 – modest, but paired with that wind, it's easily the cleanest wave of the whole outlook.
Then things get interesting. Saturday the 25th morning, there's a build. Swell jumps to 8ft from the NNW with a combined energy of 722. We get a cross-offshore breeze and the forecast calls for "very good surf conditions." That's a solid window. The size is starting to get a bit hefty for beginners though.
Sunday the 26th of July morning is where the power really dials in. The combined swell energy skyrockets to 1173, with a solid 8ft NNW groundswell. Cross-offshore winds again, making for clean conditions. However, this is expert territory – well over 8ft. The period is only 8 seconds, so it'll be a bit shorter interval, but at that size, you better know what you're doing.
The very end of the window, Monday the 31st of July morning, shows another strong pulse of 7ft swell with clean cross-offshore winds and "very good surf conditions" on the cards. That one is promising, but we're so far out that you have to take it with a grain of salt.
Honestly, if you can only paddle out once, make it Friday the 24th morning. That glass will be worth every second of the wait.
Stay salty,
Rusty

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
