Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tayfor over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Tayfor. The whole 16-day window looks pretty grim, to be honest. There’s basically nothing on the table that I’d call a proper surf right now. The first recommendation doesn’t even pop up until the 26th of July, and even then, it’s a marginal call. You’re looking at a solid week of rubbish before anything even gets a score.
The pattern is just a long run of poor surf conditions. The swell is there, but it’s weak and short-period, mostly from the NNW, with a period of just 6 seconds – that’s windswell, not groundswell, so it’s gonna be messy and weak. The wind is a constant cross or cross-onshore, mostly from the north, which is not helping at all. Everything is either cross-chop or choppy. The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 75°, which is nice, but it doesn’t mean much when the waves are junk.
The only real blip of potential comes on the 27th of July, Monday morning. We get a light offshore wind from the WNW, and the swell bumps up to 5ft from the NW with an 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 253. It’s still a marginal call, but that offshore wind is a major positive – it’ll clean things up. That’s your best bet in the whole run, but even then, it’s not a standout.
From the 28th, things go back to poor. The 1st of August, Saturday morning, shows a cleaner window with a cross-offshore breeze from the ENE and the swell hitting 6ft from the NNW, but it’s still a marginal forecast. The combined energy is strong at 477, but the wind is only gentle, and the period is short at 8 seconds. It’s a tease, not a proper session.
Honestly, for Tayfor, this is a long, flat run. If you’re desperate, the 27th morning is the only thing worth a look, and even that’s a gamble. The rest of the time, it’s a kite-surfing setup with that cross-shore wind, not a paddle-surfing one.

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.
