The Lowdown
IMPERIAL
Alright, Rusty here again, breakin' it down for you.
Honestly, the next week and a half at Sidi Ifni is a bit of a grind. We’re looking at a lot of poor to marginal conditions, and not much worth getting wet for.
The first tiny glimmer comes on Friday, July 24th. Early morning, it’s glassy, with a 5ft swell from the NNW, period of 8 seconds. Water temp is 69°, which is pretty normal for the time of year. The combined energy is moderate at 291, but the swell is short and weak. It’s a clean window, but it’s small.
The real high point comes on Friday, July 31st. This is the one. We’ve got a clean 7ft swell from the NNW, period 8 seconds, with a light offshore wind from the ESE. The combined energy is solid at 676. That offshore wind is going to make Sidi Ifni look real good. That’s your best session of the whole 16-day stretch.
The first couple days of August might have a little something in the mix, but it’s a long way off, so don’t get your hopes up just yet. That Friday the 31st is the day to aim for. Just remember, when it’s clean, you won’t be the only one out there.
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.
