The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty again. Let’s run through this for the imperial crew.
Sidi Ifni is in for a bit of a ride over the next 16 days. A lot of average surf, but a couple of killer windows if you’re patient. Water temp is 71°, right about normal for this time of year.
Wednesday the 9th morning is your best early bet. Glassy conditions, a 4ft swell from the NNW, period around 7 seconds. Combined energy is moderate at 277. It’s clean and easy. After that, the wind goes cross-onshore and it turns to chop for the rest of the day.
Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th are write-offs. Cross-onshore wind messes up a 6ft to 6ft swell all day. Choppy, poor conditions.
Saturday the 12th morning is another clean window. Glassy, 6ft from the NNW, moderate energy (418). Fun for a session before the wind shifts.
Then it goes quiet. Sunday the 13th has a tiny 4ft swell with offshore wind in the morning – clean but small (169 energy). Monday the 14th drops to 2ft with a 13-second period – long period groundswell, which can close out on a beach break. Not much happening that week.
Now for the real standout. Saturday the 21st morning is glassy, 6ft from the NNW, energy at 391 – clean. But the big one is Tuesday the 22nd morning. 8ft from the NNW, period 9 seconds, and combined swell energy is massive at 1254. Offshore wind from the S at just 3 mph. That’s for experts only – waves over 8ft are serious. Beginners, stay on the sand.
Wednesday the 23rd morning is also pumping – 7ft from the NNW, period 9 seconds, gentle offshore breeze from the ESE. Energy at 951. Clean and powerful.
Thursday the 24th morning rounds it out with a clean 6ft from the NNW, offshore wind, 704 energy.
Bottom line: the first week is mostly average with a few clean windows. The second week builds to a beauty on the 22nd and 23rd. Crowds can show up sometimes at Sidi Ifni, so expect company on those good days. That 22nd is the one to aim for.

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.
