The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. Only one break in the mix for the next 16 days: Tayfor. Honestly, the outlook is mostly flat and grim. There’s a long gap of poor conditions in the first week, then a couple of cleaner windows in the second week. The water temp is 22°, close to average for September – nothing unusual.
Friday the 4th starts with small 3ft NW swell, 8-second period, and a light offshore in the morning. Combined swell energy is weak at 80. It’s surfable pretty ordinary. That morning bite is it – by afternoon the wind goes cross-on and it’s choppy. Saturday and Sunday are no better. But Sunday the 6th morning is glassy with that same 3ft NW swell, and the energy jumps to moderate at 192. You could get some clean little peelers if you’re out early. Still, nothing to write home about.
The first week and into the second is mostly onshore slop and tiny swell. Tuesday the 8th morning has 3ft NW swell with an 11-second period, but it’s cross-on and messing things up. Not much confidence.
Then Monday the 14th – that’s your standout. Morning glass, 5ft NW swell, 8-second period, and combined energy at 342 – moderate to strong. That’s the best surf in the whole run. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and fun for intermediates. The crowd factor at Tayfor is only “sometimes,” so you might see a few others but it’s not packed.
Tuesday the 15th morning is also worth a look – glassy again, 3ft NW swell with 10-second period, combined energy at 201. Smaller but clean.
Wednesday the 16th morning has another glassy window with 3ft NW swell, but energy drops to 119. Thursday the 17th morning is glassy but only 1ft – barely a ripple.
So if you want a wave, hit dawn on Monday the 14th. That’s your session. The rest is a long wait for not much else.
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.
