September marks a transitional month as ground swells begin to increase again, though wave size remains modest. Overall, late autumn and winter provide the most reliable combination of powerful ground swells and manageable winds, while summer is better suited for beginners or those tolerant of choppier conditions.

November at Cap Sim, Morocco, offers solid surf conditions with a consistent swell averaging 2.0m and a favorable period of 12.3s, ensuring well-organized waves. The dominant swell directions are NW, NNW, and WNW, with the highest frequencies in the 1.5-2.5m range, delivering powerful, rideable waves. Smaller swells (0.5-1.5m) from the W and WSW add variety, while bigger swells (over 2.5m) occasionally appear, mainly from NW and NNW. Wind conditions are workable, with offshore or light cross-shore winds (N, NNE, NE) occurring 42% of the time, keeping waves clean. However, stronger onshore winds (20-30kph+) from N to NNE can occasionally disrupt conditions, particularly early in the month. Overall, November provides reliable surf, best on NW-NNW swells with lighter winds, though morning sessions often have the cleanest conditions before winds pick up. Advanced surfers will find punchy, powerful waves, while intermediates should watch for bigger days and wind shifts.
