Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and freedom units. For Tayfor, it’s the same story, just different numbers.
First twelve days are a real dud. Water temp is 76°F, which is a good 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year, so it feels like warm bathwater. From Wednesday, July 8th through Sunday, July 19th, it’s all small stuff. Swell heights are mostly 1ft to 2ft, with a few days at 3ft. Combined wave energy is weak, mostly under 100, so there’s just no juice. Winds are from the north, mostly cross or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy. Some mornings have a light cross-shore breeze, but the waves are too tiny to care.
In the second week, there’s a little more size. Monday, July 20th, shows a 5ft northwest swell with a moderate energy of 328, but the wind is cross-onshore from the north, so it’s messy. Wednesday morning, July 22nd, has a 6ft northwest swell and offshore wind (onshore at the break) with energy at 345, but the quality is still poor.
The one bright spot is the morning of Thursday, July 23rd. We’ve got a 5ft northwest swell, 8-second period, and a light offshore wind from the west-northwest. Combined energy is a moderate 242. That’s the cleanest wind we get in the whole run, so while it’s still labeled “marginal,” it’s your best bet for something remotely decent.
With so much onshore and cross-onshore wind on the bigger days, Tayfor’s going to be a better bet for kite surfers than paddle boarders. Crowds are possible at Tayfor, but this long flat stretch might keep most people away.
That’s the goods. Hope you’re patient.
Rusty.

Information about the Tayfor Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Tayfor provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tayfor can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tayfor surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Tayfor) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Tayfor 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.
Tayfor is 11 km (7 miles) from the very large city of Mohammedia. If you plan a holiday in Rabat to Casblanca, look for hotels and other accommodation in Mohammedia. Mohammedia has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as cheap car hire and transport links.
