The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's brewing for us in the Sidi Ifni region.
First thing’s first, the water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The pattern over the next fortnight is a bit of a struggle, to be honest. The first few days are a write-off with poor surf conditions, but we do get a couple of windows where things clean up enough to paddle out. The standout is the early mornings.
Sunday, August 2nd is the first real chance. The wind goes glassy out of the west at just 3 mph, and we’ve got a 4ft swell from the NNW. The combined energy is moderate (216), but with the period a short 7 seconds, it’s not going to be world-class. Still, for a beginner-friendly break like Sidi Ifni, those clean, glassy conditions are a major positive. The cross-offshore wind on Friday morning was a tease, but this is the real deal.
Monday, August 3rd is almost a carbon copy. Another morning of glassy conditions with a similar 5ft swell (233 combined energy). This is the best on offer. The waves will be small and clean, perfect for the longboard or a fun log. The break is fairly consistent, so you’ll get waves, but just be aware crowds are possible here.
After that, the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore for the rest of the first week and into the second, which keeps the surf quality poor. The swell sticks around in the 4ft to 5ft range, but it’s choppy and messy. There’s a bit more size towards Monday, August 10th and Tuesday, August 11th with 6ft swell (460-475 combined energy), but it’s still cross-on. The period is only 8 seconds, so it’s weak and won’t overcome the wind. For a beach and reef setup, that’s a kite surfer’s dream, not a paddle surfer's.
The long-range outlook into the second week looks pretty similar. The swell energy stays moderate, but the wind keeps blowing cross-on, so the surf remains poor. If you’re looking for a wave, your best bet is to get up early on that Sunday or Monday in the first week. Otherwise, we’re in a bit of a dry spell.
Rusty out.

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.
