Table - best surf conditions forecast for Sidi Ifni over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s size up the next two weeks for Sidi Ifni. The early part of the week is a slow start – small, choppy, and cross-onshore. Monday the 13th through Wednesday the 15th is mostly weak wind swell in the 2 to 4 ft range, with messy wind and poor conditions. Not worth paddling out.
Thursday the 16th morning brings the first proper chance. Swell around 5 ft from the NW, about 7-second period, and it’s glassy – dead calm. The combined energy is moderate (274). That’s your cleanest window for a beginner-friendly session early. The water temp is about normal for mid-July.
Friday the 17th morning pushes up a notch with 6 ft of NNW swell, energy in the low 400s, but it’s cross-onshore and only marginal. Better for someone who doesn’t mind a bumpy face.
Saturday the 18th morning is the best of the bunch. You’ve got 5-6 ft of NNW groundswell, period around 8 seconds, and the wind is light and cross-offshore from the south – clean and lined up. The beach and reef should offer some fun, bowly waves. The energy is solid at 359. This is your best shot for quality.
After that, Sunday the 19th morning goes glassy again, but the swell drops to 5 ft and the energy is lower. It’s surfable but nothing special.
From Monday the 20th through the end of the second week, it’s mostly small, onshore, or weak. There’s a brief bright spot on Friday the 24th morning when the wind goes offshore from the ESE, but the swell is only about 5 ft and energy is moderate (204). That could give you a few clean little waves. After that, back to cross-onshore junk through the 28th.
Best bets: Thursday morning the 16th for glassy, easy waves, and Saturday morning the 18th for the cleanest, most fun surf of the whole outlook.
Rusty out.

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.
