The Lowdown
Alright gang, Rusty here. Let’s break down the Sidi Ifni forecast for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty rough run. From the 24th of July all the way through the first week of August, the surf is just not cooperating. We’ve got a consistent NNW swell, but the wind is constantly onshore or cross-onshore, putting a chop on everything. The water temp is 67°F, which is a bit cooler than usual for this time of year, so don’t forget a warmer wetsuit.
The one bright spot, and I mean the only one, is the morning of Thursday, 30th July. The swell is tiny, about 3ft from the NNW, but the wind goes glassy. That’s the key. For a spot like Sidi Ifni (beach and reef), a glassy morning makes it look like a lake. The energy is weak (113), and the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s not going to have any punch, but for a longboard or a funboard, it’ll be rideable and clean. The swell direction is a bit off from the ideal NW, but when it’s dead calm, you don’t complain.
After that, it’s a whole lot of nothing. The swell drops to 3-3ft and the wind stays messy. There’s a bit of a longer-period swell (11 seconds) from the NW on the 6th of August, but it’s only 3ft – a total tease. Not worth the drive.
So, the verdict is: if you’ve got a log and you’re jonesing for a glide, the morning of the 30th is your only shot. Otherwise, save your energy. This is a classic summer flat spell for the area.
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.
