The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what Tayfor’s got comin’ down the line.
Straight up, the first week and a half is pretty much a bust. From Sunday the 23rd right through to Friday the 4th of September, there’s nothin’ worth paddlin’ for. The swell’s tiny, the wind’s messy, and the energy’s weak. A little blip on Saturday the 29th of August with a 6ft NW swell and a period of 11 seconds, energy around 762 – moderate. But it’s cross-on and choppy. Not the one.
The real standout, the one you wanna aim for, is Saturday morning the 5th of September. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the north, period just 6 seconds, but the wind is glassy – 5 km/h from the north, light cross-onshore. Energy’s weak at 84, but with those clean conditions, Tayfor will be smooth as butter. It’s a small, clean session, and after all that dry spell, it’s the best look we’ve got.
Tayfor’s an intermediate wave, consistent when there’s swell, exposed to the NW. Water temp is about average for the season. Crowds are possible, so get out early. The light air means no chop – just clean little lines.
After that, Sunday the 6th of September has a 4ft NW swell with a 7-second period and light cross-shore winds, but it’s only marginal. Not much to write home about.
So, bottom line: first nine days are flat. Saturday the 5th of September is your window – small, clean, glassy. Don’t sleep on it.
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.
