The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Sidi Ifni over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it’s a bit of a slow start. We’ve got a few days of pretty ordinary conditions to get through before things start to look up. The first real session that catches my eye is Friday morning, the 28th of August. We’ll see a 5.6ft swell from the NNW with a period of 8 seconds pushing in. The combined energy is moderate at 336. It’s a bit of a mixed bag though, with a light cross-onshore wind, so it’s going to be a little bumpy, but there’s enough size to get a few fun ones. The water temp is sitting at 69.6°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no wetsuit dramas.
The real standout in this forecast is the morning of Wednesday the 2nd of September. That’s the one to circle. We’ve got a 5.9ft swell from the NNW, period holding at 8 seconds, and the energy is kicking up to 446. The wind is dead glassy. That’s the magic word, folks. Clean, smooth conditions on a beach and reef setup like Sidi Ifni. This is the best on offer for the whole run. The waves are going to be lined up and clean, perfect for a beginner to intermediate session. Just keep in mind the crowds are sometimes around, so get in early.
We see another decent morning on Thursday the 3rd of September, with a 4.6ft swell and glassy conditions again, but the energy is a bit lower at 268. Still a solid go.
After that, the swell starts to fade. We get a couple of mornings with glassy conditions on the 4th and 6th of September, but the swell drops to 3.6ft and then 2.3ft, making for pretty ordinary, small waves. The energy dips into the double digits, down to 176 and then 94. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
From the 7th of September onward, the trend is definitely down. Swell sizes are under 3ft, with the energy dropping below 100. The last few days of the forecast are looking small and weak, with a mix of cross and cross-onshore winds. It’s a real shame, but that’s the way it goes.
So, to sum it up: the first few days are a write-off, but the 2nd of September morning is your absolute best bet. Get on it.

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.
