The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s cut through the noise on this Ibiza forecast. We’ve got a long, flat spell on our hands, and I mean flat. The next couple of weeks are looking very quiet with hardly any surf worth paddling for. There’s a big gap of nothing before we see any real potential.
Starting Wednesday, July 15th, and running right through most of the month, the story is tiny, weak swell with inconsistent energy. Swell heights are barely reaching 2ft to 2ft, with short periods between 3 and 5 seconds – that’s gutless, windswell territory. The combined wave energy is mostly in the single or low double digits, which is about as weak as it gets. The wind is not doing us any favors either – mostly cross-on or onshore, with moderate breezes kicking up chop. There are a few glimmers of glassy or clean conditions – like the afternoon of Wednesday, July 22nd – but with those little 2ft waves from the SE, there’s just no power. Every window is rated as poor quality. The water temp is sitting right about average for the time of year.
If you’re hanging on for anything, the best chance comes right at the end of the run. On the morning of Wednesday, July 30th, we get a slight bump to 3ft from the ESE with a 6-second period, pushing the combined energy to a moderate 47. It’ll still be a bit cross-onshore, so don’t expect perfection. This is the highest swell size we see, but it’s not exactly firing.
For the entire 16-day forecast, there isn't a single good recommendation. Every single time slot has a zero rating for surf quality. In this area, this kind of dead calm in the middle of summer isn’t that unusual. It never stays poor forever though, and the forecasts can change. For now, it’s a good time to wax the longboard just in case, but honestly, I'd take a few days off and check back later. The only thing that looks interesting out there for the next week and a half might be a kite.
Rusty.
