The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the surf coming up for Sidi Ifni.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but the second half of the period really starts to show some promise. The first week is mostly a mix of small, short-period NNW swell and tricky onshore winds, so you’ll need to pick your windows carefully. The standout days are definitely Monday the 27th and Sunday the 26th of July.
For the first few days, from Sunday the 19th, the swell is around 5ft to 6ft from the NNW, but it's short period (8 seconds) and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, leaving it choppy and messy. Not worth getting excited about. The combined swell energy is moderate at best, ranging from 347 to 308 (moderate wave energy).
Monday morning the 20th is a bright spot early on. The wind goes glassy from the west at 6 mph, and the swell is a clean 6ft from the NNW. This is a real chance for smooth, clean waves. The wave energy picks up to 456 (moderate wave energy). Afternoon chops it up again.
The pattern repeats through Tuesday and Wednesday – mornings offer a glimmer of hope, but the afternoons get blown out. Thursday morning the 23rd is another glassy moment with 6ft NNW swell and 327 (moderate wave energy) – a good time to sneak in a session.
Now, the real standout starts on Saturday the 25th. The swell builds to 7ft, period stays at 8 seconds, but the wind is glassy from the WNW at 3 mph. The energy jumps to 588 (moderate wave energy). Clean, solid waves. But Sunday the 26th is where it gets serious. The swell hits 8ft from the NNW, period ticks up to 9 seconds, and it’s dead calm – 0 mph wind, glassy. The combined energy is 826 (strong wave energy). This is a top-notch session.
Then Monday the 27th of July is the absolute best on offer. The swell is 8ft from the NNW, period 9 seconds, and we get a gentle offshore breeze from the southeast at 9 mph. That’s clean, offshore, and powerful. The energy is 971 (strong wave energy). This is expert-level swell, so if you’re not comfortable in solid waves, sit this one out. The break is a beach and reef setup, so it should handle this size well.
After that, the swell eases off through the end of the month and into early August. Tuesday the 28th still has a 7ft swell with clean conditions, but the wind is cross-off, so it’s still good. By the 1st and 2nd of August, the swell drops to 4ft-5ft, and conditions are more ordinary.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, no big anomaly to report.
Overall, lean on the 26th and 27th of July for the best waves. The rest of the time is a mixed bag, but with a few glassy morning windows.
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.
