The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Sidi Ifni.
To be honest, the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions, with nothing worth paddling out for from Sunday the 26th through to the end of July. The swell is there, but it’s mostly weak, short-period stuff coming from the NNW, and the wind is almost always a cross-onshore breeze, messing up any chance of clean waves. The combined wave energy during this period is low to moderate at best, sitting around 100-200 for most of it, and the water temperature is about 68°F, which is normal for this time of year.
There’s a small glimmer on Friday morning, the 31st of July. The wind swings offshore from the ESE at 6 mph, and we get a clean window with 5ft of swell from the NNW at 7 seconds. The combined energy picks up to 228. It’s surfable, but it’s not going to set the world on fire. It’s a bit of a fickle one, and the session will be short-lived.
The real standout, and the one you should circle on your calendar, is the morning of Friday, the 7th of August. The wind goes glassy, dead calm from the west, and the swell bumps up to 6ft from the NNW with an 8-second period. The combined energy jumps to 574, and the conditions are described as "glassy." This is about as good as it gets in this forecast. The waves will be clean, and the beach and reef setup at Sidi Ifni should have some fun, shapely lines. Keep in mind the swell is a bit over 5ft, so it might be a touch big for beginners, but for the rest of us, it’s the one to go for.
The following days after that, from the 8th to the 10th of August, the swell stays around 5ft to 7ft, but the wind turns back cross-onshore, so the quality drops off. It’s a bit of a shame, because there’s energy in the water, but the wind just won’t cooperate.
So, in summary: the first week is a bust. The morning of Friday, the 7th of August, is your best bet – glassy conditions and a decent swell. Get out there if you can.
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.
