About This Spot
Sidi Ifni is a coastal beach break located on Morocco's Atlantic coast, featuring a working port facility that shelters a natural harbor. The beach faces northwest toward the Atlantic Ocean, with consistent Atlantic swell exposure creating regular wave activity averaging 1.82m. The spot sits within a semi-protected port setting with breakwaters and harbor infrastructure visible, which provides some swell attenuation but creates navigation hazards. Wind data shows very low reliability (4.6%) with minimal average wind (4.9 knots), making this spot marginal for kitesurfing conditions. Best wind directions would be side-shore from the northeast (45°), though such winds are infrequent. The murky water indicates strong sediment movement and currents common to Atlantic Moroccan coast dynamics. This location suits beginner to intermediate kiters seeking to practice in moderate wave conditions when adequate wind appears, though the port activity and infrastructure require careful route planning. Water conditions are rough and visibility is limited.
