La Source - surf spot statistics

La Source in Morocco offers consistent surf conditions year-round, but the best months for quality waves and favorable winds are from November to March. During this period, ground swell dominates (77-93% of the time), providing cleaner, more organized waves with mean swell sizes ranging from 1.3m to 1.5m. December and January stand out as the peak months, combining high ground swell probability (88-93%) with the best wind conditions (54% good wind days). February and March still deliver strong ground swell (83-88%) but see a slight dip in favorable winds (44-48%). From April onward, the swell mix shifts toward wind swell, which becomes dominant from May to August, reducing wave quality. Summer months (June-August) have the smallest waves (1.0-1.1m) and the highest prevalence of bad winds (60-70%). September and October mark the transition back to ground swell, with October offering a decent balance (69% ground swell, 49% good winds). If you prioritize powerful, well-formed waves with offshore winds, winter is the prime season, while shoulder months like October and April can still provide decent sessions, albeit with less consistency. Avoid the summer if you're after high-performance surfing, as the swell is smaller and wind-dependent.

In February, La Source in Morocco offers consistent surf conditions with an average swell height of 1.5m and a strong average period of 12.9s, indicating well-organized, powerful waves. The dominant swell directions are WNW and NW, with the highest frequency of rideable waves (1-2.5m) coming from these directions, providing clean, long-period groundswells ideal for performance surfing. Wind conditions are favorable 48% of the time, predominantly light to moderate (0-20kph) from the N to ENE, though stronger winds from the north can occasionally create chop. The spot handles a mix of mid-sized waves, with the best days featuring 1.5-2.5m swells under offshore or light cross-shore winds. Advanced surfers will find the most opportunities, as larger sets (2m+) are frequent enough (around 12% of the time) for strong turns and barrels, while smaller days still offer playful shoulders. Overall, February delivers reliable surf with quality conditions nearly half the month.
