The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here again. Let’s run through this in feet and Fahrenheit for you.
The water temp at Sidi Ifni is 69°F, which sits right about average for now. But the surf is on a slow burner. Right off the bat, Thursday the 13th of August, we've got a 4ft swell out of the NNW, but the wind is straight onshore and the energy is weak (205). It’s poor out there, no question.
The next few days, Friday and Saturday, the swell holds around 4ft to 5ft, but that cross-onshore wind is keeping the surface chopped up. The energy does get into the low 300s on Saturday morning, but the quality just isn’t there. Sunday the 16th shows a 5ft swell with a slightly better 8-second interval, but the wind is still cross-onshore – it’s a marginal call at best.
The swell fades through the middle of the week, dipping under 3ft by the 20th, with energy falling into the double digits. It’s a long, dry stretch with nothing clean to ride.
Things start to look a little interesting around Sunday the 23rd of August. The swell lifts back to 5ft, and the energy hits 285, but the wind is mostly cross-onshore. Still marginal.
The real chance comes on the morning of Tuesday the 25th. We’ve got a 6ft NW swell with the wind turning offshore from the WNW and light. That’s your cleanest window. The energy is solid at 353, and with that offshore breeze, Sidi Ifni might just give you some smooth, rideable waves. The break is fairly consistent, and while crowds can show sometimes, it should be worth a look.
After that, the swell pushes to 6ft on the 26th and 27th, but the wind goes cross-shore and cross-onshore again, so it gets bumpy. By the 28th, the wind is up to 15-16 mph and it’s pretty messy.
So, make your move on the morning of Tuesday the 25th of August. That’s the pick of this forecast. It’s not huge, but with the offshore wind, it’ll be the cleanest you’ll see in this stretch.
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.
