The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Sidi Ifni over the next couple of weeks.
The opening few days are a bit of a write-off, honestly. We’ve got a weak, short-period swell struggling against onshore and cross-shore winds. The water’s sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – nothing crazy, but you’ll feel it.
The first real glimmer of hope comes Friday morning, the 31st of July. That’s when we finally get a proper offshore breeze from the ESE, cleaning up a 5ft swell from the NNW. The wave energy is moderate (291), and with that offshore wind, the break should be clean and lined up. This is your best early bet, but don’t expect perfection – the period is only 8 seconds, so it’s not a deep groundswell.
Now, if you can hold out, Monday the 3rd of August is looking like the real standout. The morning session is the ticket. The wind goes glassy – absolutely dead calm – and the swell pushes up to 6ft from the NNW. With strong moderate energy (378) and zero wind, Sidi Ifni’s beach and reef setup will be at its very best. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The swell is getting up there, but still manageable for most confident surfers.
The following week, from the 5th of August onward, the swell gets bigger – pushing 7ft by Thursday the 6th – but the wind shifts onshore or cross-on, and the quality drops. The larger sets (over 8ft) by the 7th and 8th will be pushing into expert-only territory, but the wind will be chopping it up, making it more of a grind than a pleasure. The 8-second period stays consistent, so it’s all wind-swell energy, not the good stuff.
The final few days from the 10th of August drop off significantly. The swell fades back to under 3ft, and by the 11th and 12th, we’re looking at weak, glassy little waves with very low energy (83 to 153). It’s surfable, but only just. The 13th does show a pulse back up to 6ft, but again, the wind is cross-on, so it’s marginal at best.
Overall, if you can get out Friday morning the 31st, it’s a goer. But the absolute best is Monday morning the 3rd of August – glassy, clean, and solid. Make the call.
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.

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.
