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.

September at La Source, Morocco, offers decent surf conditions with an average swell height of 1.0m and a solid 10.4s period, ensuring consistent and well-formed waves. The swell primarily comes from the NW (28.4% in the 0.5–1m range) and WNW (23.33% in the same height range), which aligns well with the break, providing clean and rideable waves. About 41% of the time, winds are favorable (light to moderate), predominantly from the N to NW, keeping conditions clean or slightly textured. However, stronger winds (20–30kph) occasionally occur from the NNW (2.66%) and W (2.55%), potentially causing choppier conditions. Larger swells (1.5m+) are less frequent but present, mainly from the NW and NNW, offering occasional punchy sections for advanced surfers. Overall, September delivers reliable surf with a good mix of playful mid-sized waves and occasional overhead sets, best suited for intermediate to advanced surfers when winds cooperate.
