Howdy, Rusty here. I’ll level with you—this stretch of coastline is in a proper funk. For the next couple of weeks, finding a decent wave is going to be a real mission.
The first chance you get to even think about paddling out is on Wednesday, July 8th, in the morning. Sidi Ifni is the only spot on the menu, a beach-and-reef setup that is fairly consistent. No session in this whole 16-day outlook is a standout, so keep your hopes low.
That Wednesday morning, July 8th, things might be just barely surfable under glassy skies, with a light breeze from the west at 3 mph making the sea look clean. Swell is tiny at 3ft from the NNW, with a short, weak period of 6 seconds and low energy (80). It’ll be gutless, but it’s the closest to good we get. The water is about average for the time of year.
Moving to Tuesday, July 14th, the swell builds. The morning brings 5ft from the NNW, with a period of 7 seconds and moderate energy (254). Problem is the wind is a light cross-onshore from the WSW at 6 mph, so it’s choppy and messy. The afternoon holds similar 5ft swell, energy up to 274, but it’s still cross-onshore from the NW at 6 mph. With the size and sloppy wind, this setup looks like it’s more for the kite crew than us paddle surfers.
And that’s the story all the way through to July 20th. We get bumps of 5ft swell again on the 19th, but with periods staying short at 7 seconds and winds from the WSW or WNW at 6 mph, it’ll be weak and bumpy.
For a beginner spot like Sidi Ifni, anything over 5ft is pushing it, but the real problem here is the constant onshore junk. There’s no stretch of clean, rideable waves in sight. It’s a long, blank run, but that’s not unheard of round here. Forecasts can flip, but right now, 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.
