Table - best surf conditions forecast for Sidi Ifni over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's look at what Sidi Ifni has cooking.
Right now, through the first week and a half, it’s pretty dead. The opening stretch from Tuesday the 7th through Monday the 13th is a total washout. The swell is tiny, barely pushing 2 feet with weak energy. Most of the wind is cross-onshore, just chopping it all up. It’s a tough start.
The pattern shows a little more push from the 15th of July, but the quality just isn’t there. The wind is still a problem--cross-onshore or onshore. The energy is up, with waves hitting 5 feet from the NNW, but it’s all junk. On the 16th, we see "marginal" conditions, but it's nothing to plan a session around.
The real standout, the one to look at, is Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th of July. On Saturday morning, the swell is around 6 feet from the NNW, with moderate energy, and the wind is glassy. That means clean, smooth conditions. Sidi Ifni is a beach and reef setup, which works best with that NW groundswell, and glassy conditions are a huge plus. The swell period is about 8 seconds, so not a long-period groundswell, but it'll have some shape. Remember, this spot can get busy.
Sunday morning the 19th is even better. The swell builds to a bit over 6 feet from the NNW, with strong energy. The wind flips to a light offshore from the SE, and again, it’s glassy. That’s proper, clean surf. The water temp is about 68°F, which is normal for this time of year.
After that peak, the surf stays in the 5 to 6 foot range with more moderate energy, but the wind goes back cross-onshore. Monday the 20th drops off, and Tuesday the 21st is only marginal. Wednesday the 22nd looks similar: a 6-foot swell but the cross-onshore breeze spoils it.
So, to sum it up: the first 10 days are a bust. Your best bet is Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th of July for some fun, clean waves. That’s the saving grace here.
Stay stoked,
Rusty

Information about the Sidi Ifni Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Sidi Ifni provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Sidi Ifni can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Sidi Ifni surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Sidi Ifni) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Sidi Ifni may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
