The Lowdown
Right. Rusty here, looking at the charts for our area. It’s a bit of a slow burn, but there is a standout window worth waiting for. Let's get into it.
The first decent opportunity shows up on Saturday, August 29th, and that’s the main event on the 16-day menu. Before that, we’ve got a solid stretch of grovelly or blown-out conditions from Wednesday the 26th right through Friday the 28th, with only small, short-period swell and onshore or cross-shore winds messing it up.
So, the highlight: Tayfor. Saturday morning, August 29th. We’ve got a clean 6ft groundswell from the NW, with a long period of 11 seconds and solid energy pumping into the bay (698). The wind is glassy – as in, dead flat and offshore from the N-NW. That combo is going to deliver some proper, clean lines. The water temp feels about average for this time of year, so a spring suit should do you. Keep an eye on the crowds though – they can be around at Tayfor. This one is for the confident intermediate crowd; that swell is pushing above 5ft, so it’s a bit much for beginners.
After that high, the quality drops quickly. Saturday afternoon turns lumpy, and Sunday the 30th offers only borderline waves with cross-shore breeze. Monday the 31st looks average.
The second week – from Tuesday, September 1st onward – is pretty ordinary. Most mornings are either blown out or just small, chunky leftovers in the 3ft to 5ft range, with moderate cross-on winds. The only slight glimmer is early on Monday, September 7th, where a glassy morning with 4ft NW swell (216 energy) might produce a few fun ones for the dedicated crew, but it’s not a patch on that Saturday session.
Take that Saturday 29th morning window, and grab it while the wind is right. You’ll be smiling.

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.
