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.

La Source in March offers consistent surf conditions with an average swell height of 1.4m and a solid period of 12.4s, indicating well-formed, powerful waves. The predominant swell direction is from the WNW and NW, contributing to clean, organized waves with 48% of swells in the ideal 1-2.5m range. Wind conditions are favorable 44% of the time, with lighter winds from the northern quadrants (N, NNE, NE) tending to groom the surf. However, stronger winds (20-30kph+) occasionally blow from the NNE and NNW, which may disrupt conditions. The spot handles larger swells well, with 13% of waves exceeding 2m—best for experienced surfers. Smaller days (0.5-1.5m) make up 40% of the month, offering more manageable sessions. Expect reliable surf overall, but monitor wind forecasts for optimal sessions.
