The Lowdown
Alright, let's get down to it. The next couple of weeks are going to be a bit of a grind. We got some small, short-period swell from the NNW, but the wind is going to be a pain in the neck for most of it. You gotta pick your moments.
The first chance you get is Wednesday morning, the 12th. Wave height is around 4ft, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it'll be a bit soft. The wind is dead calm though, which is great for a spot like Sidi Ifni. Water temp is 71°, right about normal for the season. The energy is moderate at 202. Not a classic, but it's the first rideable option we've had.
Then it goes quiet again. The next real window is Friday morning, the 14th. Still small at 5ft from the NNW with a 7-second period, but we get that light offshore breeze and glassy conditions. This will be the cleanest surf of the early run. Energy is moderate at 282. It's small, but it'll be fun.
Saturday morning, the 15th, is much the same. 5ft of NNW swell, glassy and calm. Another good window for a clean but small session. Energy at 306.
After that, the swell fades and the winds turn onshore for the following week. The morning of Tuesday, the 18th, has a bit of a glassy patch with 4ft, but it's pretty average. Then things drop off. By the 20th, we're looking at under 3ft and the energy is weak, at 85. The 21st and 22nd are looking poor, with small, weak swell and cross-onshore breezes.
The final days of the forecast, around the 23rd, show a little bump back up to 3-4ft, but the period is still short and the winds are choppy. Not worth getting excited about.
So, the best bets are those two mornings – the 14th and the 15th. They're not big, but they'll be the cleanest and most surfable waves on offer in the whole stretch. The rest of the time, you're fighting the wind and a dying swell. Gotta be patient.

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.
