The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down what’s happening at Pointe d'Imessouane (Morocco). It’s a classic point break, facing northwest, and it's known for being consistent. Water temp is about 71°F, which is dead average for this time of year.
For the first week and a half, honestly, it’s a bit of a grind. From Sunday the 9th through the 20th, the waves are there (1 to 3 ft range, with short 6 to 8 second periods), but the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, making everything lumpy and weak. The combined wave energy sits in the moderate range (346 to 592), but the quality is just not there. You’ll see some rideable waves, but it’s not the kind of surf you’d drive for.
The one day that stands out is Friday the 21st, in the morning. Set the alarm for this one. We’ve got a light offshore breeze out of the north at 6 mph, and the conditions look clean. Swell will be about 6 ft from the NNW with an 8-second period, and the energy climbs to 592. It’s not a massive day, but with the offshore wind and the point's shape, it’s going to produce some fun, well-formed waves. That’s your best call for the entire outlook.
After that, things get bigger and messier. Saturday the 22nd sees the swell jump to 10 ft in the afternoon, with energy way up at 1305. That’s a lot of water moving around – expert only, especially with some cross-onshore wind. Sunday the 23rd morning goes flat calm and glassy with a 7 ft swell and energy at 477 – clean but powerful. Then Monday the 24th morning looks clean again with a light offshore and a 5 ft swell.
So, there's a long stretch of mediocrity, then a clear standout on the 21st, followed by some serious size. The wait is worth it for that Friday morning window.
