The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into this. This is Rusty, and I'm looking at Zeneta for the next 16 days. And honestly, mate, it's a tough watch. There's no real standout session in this whole window.
The whole 16-day run is basically a write-off for quality waves. We start on Wednesday, July 22nd, and right through to Thursday, August 6th, it's a constant battle with cross-onshore winds. The swell is mostly coming from the NNW, but the wind is out of the north and northeast, blowing right across it. That means every session is described as choppy, lumpy, or at best, having a cross-chop. The combined swell energy does build, hitting moderate to strong readings – like 302 on the morning of Sunday, July 26th, and even peaking around 349 on Saturday, August 1st. But it doesn't matter how much energy is in the water when the wind is ruining the surface.
The swell height does get up there. By Saturday, July 25th, we're seeing 5ft from the NNW, and it stays between 5ft and 5ft for a few days. That's solid beginner-to-intermediate size, but again, the conditions are poor. For a beginner spot like Zeneta, it's just not going to be a fun paddle. The water temperature here is about average for the time of year, sitting at 73°F, so that’s not a problem at least.
The only glimmer of something slightly less terrible comes on Monday morning, July 27th. The wind drops to a light breeze from the north at 10 km/h (6 mph), with swell at 5ft and an 8-second period from the NNW. The combined energy is still strong at 304, and the report calls it "marginal" with a score of 1 out of 10. It’s still cross-onshore, just lighter, so you might get a few wind-rippled walls. But it's a long shot.
Later on, we see the wind swing to the NW and even WNW, offering some "on" and "cross-on" directions, but the swell drops back down to the 3ft to 4ft range. By the end of the first week of August, the period briefly stretches to 10 seconds on the afternoon of Wednesday, August 5th, but the swell is tiny at 2ft. Not worth the drive.
For a spot that's usually consistent, this is a frustrating blank run. The offshore wind direction for Zeneta is SE, and we don't see a whisper of that anywhere in the forecast. The wind is just locked in from the north. There’s honestly nothing to get excited about here. If you absolutely had to paddle out, maybe have a look at that Monday morning, July 27th, with low expectations. Otherwise, save your energy.

Information about the Zeneta Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Zeneta provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Zeneta can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Zeneta 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 (Zeneta) 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 Zeneta 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.
Zeneta is 9 km (6 miles) from the city of Casablanca. If you plan a holiday in Rabat to Casblanca, look for hotels and other accommodation in Casablanca. Casablanca has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
