Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about the surf window for Sidi Ifni.
Right now, it’s looking pretty flat and quiet for the next week or so. There’s just nothing doing. We’ve got a solid run of small, weak, and messy conditions from Monday the 6th all the way through to at least the morning of Saturday the 18th. The waves stay tiny, mostly below 3ft, with short, weak periods. The wind is predominantly a cross-onshore flow, keeping things bumpy and rippled. Honestly, it’s a write-off for the first twelve days. You won't find any rideable surf worth paddling out for.
Now, things start to show a little pulse towards the end of the window, but it's still not clean. On Sunday the 19th morning, we see a slight lift in the swell, with combined energy hitting moderate at 272, but it’s still got that onshore wind and the quality is marginal at best. We’re looking at a 4ft swell from the NNW with a 7-second period.
The most promising, but still conditional, period is Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st. The swell builds a bit more, pushing 5ft to 6ft from the NNW with a slightly better 8-second period. The combined energy is strong, reading 437 on Monday morning. The caveat here is the wind. Mornings look cleanest with a light onshore breeze, but the afternoons get chopped up by a 9 mph cross-onshore wind.
Even then, the best bet on offer would be Monday morning, July 20th. You get the biggest push of the forecast with 5ft of NNW swell, and a light onshore wind that might just hold it together. The water temperature is sitting around 68°, which is bang on average for this time of year. Remember though, it's Sidi Ifni—a beach and reef setup—and the swell direction is not quite the optimum NW, so it won't be firing on all cylinders. For all that, it’s still the only real window with some power.
Take the Monday the 20th as your best chance for a paddle, but keep expectations in check. This is a long-range potential, not a certainty.
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.
