Conditions at Sidi Ifni in November
November: Prime Time Begins
November is one of the most reliable months of the year at Sidi Ifni. Average swell is around 6-7ft (2.0m), period is a solid 12.2s, and the direction mix includes NNW at 46%, NW at 25%, and WNW at 4%. The winter machinery is running on all cylinders, with strong extratropical cyclones across the North Atlantic generating long-period groundswell that lines up perfectly for the Moroccan coast.
Wind statistics are excellent too: ideal offshore conditions arrive 34% of the time, second only to December. The frequent passage of Atlantic fronts brings pressure changes and occasional offshore easterly/southeasterly phases that groom the surface, making for some of the cleanest, most powerful surf of the season. Air temperatures cool to 18.1°C, water stays pleasant at 18.7°C, and November is the wettest month in the data at 1.54mm/day - but the rain events are usually a small price to pay for the surf that comes with them.
