The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here again, giving you the straight talk on Tayfor for the next couple weeks.
The water is about normal for this time of year. The whole thing is a bit of a slow start, with the wind causing most of the headaches. The best bit is right at the beginning.
Tuesday the 1st of September: morning has a 5ft NW swell, 8-second period, light north wind that’s cross-shore. The energy is moderate (397). It’s doable, but the afternoon wind jumps to 16 mph and wrecks it. So you get a morning session.
Wednesday the 2nd: swell drops to 5ft NW, still 8 seconds, but the morning wind is a light north-easterly cross-off, giving clean waves. Energy is moderate (274). Not a classic, but a good morning. Afternoon gets choppy.
Now, Thursday the 3rd of September is the real standout. Swell is 3ft NW, but the wind goes glassy in the morning. Absolutely clean, smooth, small lines. The energy is light (158) but for a longboard or a fish, it’s going to be super fun with no bump. That’s the pick of the whole forecast. Afternoon gets cross-on and messy.
After that, it goes flat and mediocre. From Friday the 4th through to Sunday the 13th, swell is mostly under 3ft, with poor cross-on winds most days. There’s a couple of clean mornings (like the 11th and 12th), but the swell is only 2ft to 3ft with a short 6-second period. Weak, small, low energy (under 100). Not worth the paddle.
Monday the 14th of September: morning glassy again, a 3ft NNW swell, 9-second period, energy light (151). Clean, but small. A fun little session.
Wednesday the 16th of September: a slight bump to 4ft NW, but the wind is cross-shore and the period is short at 7 seconds. Energy is moderate (298), but it’s marginal. The wind never locks in.
So, if you want the best, be on the water Thursday morning the 3rd of September. Glassy, waist-high, no crowds. After that, it’s a long wait for anything decent.
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.
