Hash Point - surf spot statistics

Hash Point in Morocco is a consistent surf spot with solid groundswell dominance, particularly from autumn through early spring. The best months for surfing are November through February, when groundswell probability is highest (77–93%), swell size averages 1.3–1.5m, and good wind conditions occur roughly half the time (48–53%). Winter months (December–February) offer the most powerful and cleanest conditions, though winds can still be variable (47–52% onshore). March and October are good transitional months, with strong groundswell persistence (77–83%) and decent wind windows (44–51%). From April onward, conditions decline as wind swells take over, peaking in summer (June–August) when groundswell drops below 20%, swell size diminishes (1.0–1.1m), and onshore winds dominate (62–72%). September marks the beginning of the return to better swells, though winds remain challenging. Advanced surfers will prioritize winter for reliable power, while intermediates may find late autumn or early spring more forgiving. Summer is generally weak and wind-affected, best suited for beginners or alternative water sports.

August at Hash Point, Morocco, offers relatively small but clean conditions with an average swell height of 1.0m and a decent period of 8.6s, ensuring consistent waves. The swell is predominantly from the NW (38.5% in the 0.5-1m range) and WNW (15.3%), with some larger sets from the NNW (12.1% in the 1-1.5m range and 8.3% in the 1.5-2m range). While most waves are knee to chest high, there are occasional overhead days, especially when the NNW swell kicks in. Wind conditions are favorable 38% of the time, with light to moderate speeds (0-20kph) from the N, NW, and W directions. However, stronger winds (20-30+ kph) from N/NNW can create chop, particularly in the afternoons. Overall, August provides fun, manageable waves for intermediate surfers, with the best sessions likely in the morning before winds pick up. Bigger days are rare but possible when the NNW swell energy increases.
