Sidi Ifni (Sidi Ifni)

Sidi Ifni is a surfing-focused spot with a mix of beach and reef-rocky waves around the town and promenade area. Across reports, the main wave is described as a long right-hand wall breaking over boulder/rocky terrain farther out, with additional left-hand waves and beachbreak options. The most reliable season for surf is winter, with sources pointing to November through March (and also October through March for consistent swells). Conditions are described as more consistent in winter, while summer can be windier and less clean. Wind from the east to northeast is noted, and offshore tendencies from the northeast are reported to help clean up the waves. Ride lengths are commonly described in the 50–150 m range, with good days extending to roughly 150–300 m depending on the wave and conditions. Working swell direction is reported as from the west/northwest, and tide guidance varies by wave: some sources highlight rising/mid-to-high tide for better shape, while another description notes the main wave can be best around low tide. Safety-wise, the lineup includes rocks and reef/rocky sections, and pollution near town drains is specifically mentioned. Big swells can close out multiple beaches, and reef-adjacent areas can see rip currents. Take extra care at lower tide when rocks may be more exposed, and plan gear accordingly (boots are specifically recommended; wetsuits are also described for winter months).
