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.

June at La Source, Morocco, offers relatively mellow surf conditions with an average swell height of 1.1m and a decent period of 8.8s, suggesting clean, well-spaced waves. The majority of swell comes from the NW and WNW directions, contributing to waves in the 0.5-1.5m range (peaking around 1-1.5m), with larger sets up to 2.5m+ possible but less frequent (only ~4% of the time). The wind is a mixed bag—while 30% of the time it’s ideal for surfing (likely light offshore or sideshore), stronger onshore winds (20-30kph) from the W/NW occur frequently, potentially creating chop. The spot handles NW swells best, and when wind cooperates, it can be fun for intermediates or a mellow session for advanced surfers, though consistency isn’t stellar. Expect smaller, manageable waves with occasional bigger days, but scout wind forecasts for optimal sessions.
