Table - best surf conditions forecast for Sidi Ifni over the next 16 days.
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down what the ocean’s got for us.
We’ve got a long, dry spell to start. The first 8 days are a total bust – cross-onshore wind and barely a ripple. Don’t even think about it until Thursday, July 16th.
Thursday, July 16th, morning is the first real opening. The swell comes up to 6ft from the NNW, and the wind goes dead calm – glassy as a lake. That’s a huge win. The water temp is 69°, which is about average for this time of year. The energy is moderate (326) with an 8-second period, so it’s a mix of ground and wind swell. This is a solid early session at Sidi Ifni (beach and reef). Just a heads up, crowds can show up sometimes, so get in early.
Friday, July 17th, morning is the real standout. Swell is still 6ft from the NNW, but the wind swings offshore from the ENE. That’s going to groom the faces perfectly. The energy is stronger (410) and the period is still 8 seconds. This is the best window of the whole forecast – clean, punchy, and fun for most surfers.
Saturday, July 18th, morning is another glassy one with a light offshore breeze from the NE. Swell bumps up to 6ft from the NNW, and the energy is strong (460). This is a bigger day, so it’s more for the confident crew. But with those glassy conditions, it’s going to be a treat.
After that, it’s all downhill. The swell fades and the wind gets onshore again. From Sunday, July 19th onward, it’s back to poor conditions.
So, your only real chances are the mornings of the 16th, 17th, and 18th of July. The 17th is the best of the bunch. After that, it’s a waiting game.
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.
