The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight up: If you’re looking to score around Sidi Ifni over the next two weeks, you’re going to be waiting a long time for anything decent. The whole forecast window is pretty much a write-off for proper waves. We’re looking at a solid gap of no good surf from now through to the first week of August.
Right now, the water’s sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – not a shock, but you’ll feel that nip if you’re in a spring suit.
The first faint glimmer shows up on Saturday the 1st of August. The morning session is the pick – and it’s really only a glimmer. You’ve got some small 2ft to 4ft swell coming from the NNW with a short period of 7 seconds, so it’s weak, messy stuff, and the combined swell energy is only 125 (weak). But the wind swings offshore from the east, light and clean, so the surface will be glassy. This one’s for the longboard or a foamie for some soul cruising, not for thrills. Sidi Ifni is a beach-and-reef setup that’s fairly exposed to NW swell, and with crowds sometimes, you might have some company on a small wave. After that, it fades back to flat or tiny junk for the rest of the run.
Honestly, there’s nothing here to get excited about. The surf just isn’t on. For a spot like this, a blank run isn’t all that unusual – forecasts can change, but for now, you might be better off doing something else with your time.

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.
