The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ down the pipe for Sidi Ifni. It’s a bit of a slow burn this time, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel if you’re patient.
We’re kickin’ off with some swell on the way, but the conditions are a mess for the first week and a half. The wind is all over the shop, mostly cross-on or onshore, keepin’ things choppy and ordinary. It’s a real grind from Monday the 3rd right through to the 13th. Sure, there’s knee-to-waist high swell in the water, about 4ft to 6ft from the NNW, but the period is a short and weak 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s just not got any punch. The combined energy is weak to moderate, mostly between 199 and 512. You’ll be fightin’ to get a decent one. There’s a gap of nearly ten days of pretty ordinary surf here.
Hold on though, because the real show starts on the 14th of August. Friday morning, the 14th, we’ve got a clean 7ft from the NNW sneakin’ in. The wind goes glassy, WSW at 3 mph, and the energy jumps to a strong 510. That’s a proper step up in power. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no nasty surprises there.
Then, Saturday the 15th of August is the real standout. The swell holds at 7ft from the NNW, but the wind totally shuts off – dead calm. It’s glassy as a mirror. The combined energy is still solid at 461. This is the best on offer, no question. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a bit of a short-period swell, but with that much power and zero wind, Sidi Ifni (beach and reef) is gonna be clean and fun. It’s a fairly consistent spot, but crowds are possible, so get out there early.
After that, the swell hangs around at 6ft on the 16th and 17th, but the wind swings back to cross-on, and the quality drops off. By the 18th, it’s all over – just 4ft and weak.
So, for the money, your best bet is the 14th and 15th of August. That Saturday morning, the 15th, is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the charts, but it’s lookin’ real sweet.
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.
