Sidi Ifni

Sidi Ifni is a surf spot located in South Morocco, Morocco. This coastal town offers a unique surfing experience with its relaxed atmosphere and fewer crowds compared to more popular destinations. The surf spot provides both left and right waves, making it suitable for surfers of various skill levels. The waves break over a combination of sand and rocks, and the best conditions are typically found during medium and high tides. The wave length ranges from 50 to 150 meters, offering a decent ride for surfers. It’s important to be cautious of pollution in the water, particularly sewer waste, and to be aware of strong rips during tidal changes, especially when water flows out of the nearby river. The town of Sidi Ifni, once a Spanish settlement, is small and offers a hassle-free environment. There is a camping area south of the city along the cliffs, providing an affordable option for those looking to stay close to the surf. The harbor area south of the town also has a surf spot that works well when the swell is large, with a right wave breaking into deeper water. When visiting Sidi Ifni, it’s essential to check your skills before paddling out to ensure the spot matches your level. Respect the locals and adhere to surf etiquette, especially in crowded spots. The town is accessible by driving south from the Taghazoute area, passing Tiznit, and continuing for approximately 200 kilometers. Nearby surf spots include Mirleft, Sidi Moussa d’Aglou, and Sidi Rbat. Remember to always respect the locals.
