The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks at Sidi Ifni in feet and miles per hour.
Water temp is running about 69°F, which is a hair under average for this time of year – nothing to worry about.
The first really good window hits the morning of September 7th. Swell is 4ft from the NNW, period 7 seconds, and the wind is dead calm, glassy. The combined energy is moderate (272). That’s clean, head-high, and fun. It’s a beach-and-reef setup, so it handles it well, but don’t expect to have it to yourself – crowds are possible.
The next morning, September 8th, is another glassy one. Swell is 4ft from the NNW, energy a touch higher at 291. Clean and surfable, not a monster, but a great session.
The standout is the morning of September 11th. Swell bumps up to 6ft from the NNW, period 8 seconds, and it’s glassy. That’s moderate-to-strong energy (429) and it’s clean. That’s a proper, punchy day – but at 6ft, it’s getting into the zone where beginners should sit it out.
The morning of September 13th is also good: 5ft, NNW, glassy, energy at 431. Clean and fun.
The morning of September 14th has smaller swell (4ft, NNW) but a cross-off wind, so the faces will be smooth. Energy is moderate (285). A solid option.
Things drop off hard after that. From September 15th into the 16th, we’re looking at 2ft or less, with energy falling below 200. The wind is onshore or cross-on, and the surf is basically flat. Not much to get excited about.
Best bet: the mornings of the 7th, 8th, and 11th of September. The 11th is the biggest and best, but the 7th and 8th are reliable. The second week is a write-off, so get it while you can.
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.
