The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a solid run of clean morning windows at Tayfor. The water is sitting at 72°, which is about bang on normal for this time of year, so nothing freaky there.
The week kicks off on Monday, September 7th with a glassy morning. Swell is a touch under 3 ft (2 ft) out of the NW, with a very long period of 15 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy reading is 439 – that’s moderate energy. The wind is barely a whisper from the ENE at 3 mph, so it’s dead clean. This is a standout morning. That long period will make the waves feel bigger and more powerful, but at a point break or reef, it’ll be a dream. Tayfor is exposed to swells and the direction is spot on.
Tuesday morning, September 8th, is similar – glassy again, light ENE breeze, 3 ft swell from the NW with an 11-second period. The energy is at 326, still moderate and solid. Another clean session.
The afternoons this week turn choppy as the wind swings NNW and picks up, so don’t expect much after lunch. Wednesday and Thursday mornings (9th and 10th) are just okay – the wind is cross or cross-onshore, making things a bit messy, and the swell period drops to 8-9 seconds, so it’s not as good.
Friday, September 11th, the morning looks good again. Clean conditions with a cross-offshore breeze from the NE at 9 mph, and 4 ft of NW swell with an 8-second period. The energy is 238 – moderate. It’s a bit shorter period, but the wind sets it up nice.
The weekend (12th and 13th) is a bit of a write-off for quality surf, with weak swells and choppy winds.
Then we get a beautiful little window on Monday, September 14th. Morning is glassy, 3 ft of NW swell, but the period is a meaty 13 seconds, and the energy jumps to 406. This is the standout of the second week. Get it while it’s clean.
After that, it’s a mixed bag of onshore winds and mediocre conditions right through to the 22nd. There’s a pulse of 5 ft from the NW on Friday, September 18th, but the wind is cross-shore and the period is short (10 seconds), so it’s not going to be clean. The energy is 486, which is solid, but without good wind, it’s a bit of a letdown.
The middle of the second week (16th to 22nd) is mostly poor, with a few marginal mornings. Nothing to get too excited about.
All in all: The best windows are Monday and Tuesday mornings (7th and 8th) and Monday morning the 14th. Get out there early for the glass.

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.
