Global Surf Adventures

Well we have had a few mixed days of surf and weather so far in Morocco.
The weather has been more unsettled than usual for this part of Morocco, with some heavy rain around Christmas and more wind than usual.

The reason for this less settled weather down here and indeed the cold weather in the UK has been caused by the position of a large blocking high-pressure system over the North Atlantic and Greenland.

This has prevented the usual flow of wet and milder weather from the West and South West, and has allowed cold air to be drawn into the UK from the North and East. The air coming from over the Atlantic sea is warmer than the air coming from the lands to the East and North of the UK because the sea is warmer than the land.

These areas of high pressure can be quite difficult to move and can dominate the weather for a week or two, before eventually being bumped out of the way by continuos low-pressure systems.

It looks like the high pressure is starting to move over the UK over the next few days, keeping the UK cold, but hopefully will recede into Europe after that and allow the milder Atlantic air in.

And down here in Morocco the more unsettled weather has been caused by the same high pressure system pushing the low-pressure systems further South below the high.

The good news is that as the high pressure to the north moves east and declines, then the weather and surf here in Morocco where we are based will be much better.

The seven day surf and weather forecast is showing more settled conditions for next week, with light winds and sunshine, and with water temps around 19C there should be some lovely surf around.

Looking forward to seeing you out here.
