The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Sidi Ifni over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first couple of days are pretty grim – Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th are a write-off with poor surf conditions and cross winds making a mess of things. The water’s sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want a spring suit even if the sun’s out.

Things start to show a glimmer on Thursday the 30th morning. The swell bumps up to 6 ft from the NNW with an 8-second period, and – this is the key – it goes glassy. Clean conditions with light wind from the WSW. The combined energy is moderate, sitting at 327, so it’s not a monster, but the glassy surface will make for some nice, clean lines. Best for beginners on the beach side, but the reef sections could also offer fun shapes if you’re careful.

Friday the 31st morning is another good call. Same sort of swell – 5 ft from the NNW – but this time with a light cross-offshore wind from the ENE. Clean again. The energy is still moderate (291). It’s not a big day, but it’s rideable and the wind’s on your side.

Now, between Friday afternoon and the following week, there’s a long stretch of no good surf. The wind swings onshore again, and the swell gets messy. You’re looking at a gap of a few days where it’s just not worth paddling out, with only marginal or poor conditions showing up. Don’t bother until the next standout window.

That window appears on Wednesday the 5th of August morning. Swell picks up to 7 ft from the NNW, still an 8-second period, but the wind is glassy again. Energy jumps into strong territory at 561. This is the pick of the whole forecast. 7 ft is a solid size, but it’s not too big for a confident intermediate – experts will be smiling. The glassy surface will have Sidi Ifni looking its best. If you can only pick one session, this is it.

Thursday the 6th of August morning also looks promising. Another glassy morning with 6 ft from the NNW and 454 energy. A touch smaller than Wednesday, but still clean and fun.

After that, the rest of the second week falls back into marginal or poor conditions with onshore cross-winds. The swell stays in the 6 ft to 8 ft range, which can be fun if the wind cooperates, but the forecast shows it won’t for the most part. The morning of Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th are marginal, with a light cross-on wind, but nothing to get too excited about.

So, bottom line: if you’re after clean, glassy surf, your best bets are the mornings of Thursday 30th July, Friday 31st July, and the clear standout – Wednesday 5th August. Don’t waste your energy on the rest.

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.
