Imourane is firing right now. You're looking at waist to chest height waves across a sandy beach that's wrapping the swell angle in cleanly, and the offshore wind from the southeast this morning has shaped the faces smooth. The tide is barely moving, so the banks are holding their shape without the usual mid-tide push, and all that groundswell means you've got pure, organised energy with no wind chop to mess with your lines. Water is warm at 22°C, and the window stays open until the wind swings onshore later.

By mid-afternoon the swell will drop back to thigh to stomach height as the wind turns westerly and starts working against the faces. The session here is really a dawn patrol call. Head out now or catch the tail end before nine or ten, because after that it's all onshore cleanup.

Tomorrow morning looks worth setting an alarm for, peaking at the same Good rating with thigh to stomach waves and a glassy window before the wind builds. It will be smaller overall than right now but cleaner and more shapeable in those early hours. The forecast confidence is decent, though any shift in the swell window could tighten or soften what's on offer, so watch the dawn patrol call closer to the day.
