The Lowdown
Alright, let's see what we've got. It's looking pretty quiet for a while, so don't get your hopes up for any hero waves.
For the next stretch, we're in a flat spell. Tiny, gutless surf. The water's sitting at 82°, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least a swim will be nice.
The first few days have next to nothing. There’s a small bump on Tuesday, Sept 1, with waves around 2ft from the E/ESE, but the wind is all messy and cross-onshore, chopping it all up. The energy is weak, so it's not worth the hassle.
It dips again mid-week, dropping to under a foot. There's a little more ESE swell on Sunday, Sept 6, but it's still onshore and weak.
Things start to change around Wednesday, Sept 9. We get some cleaner conditions with a cross-offshore breeze in the afternoon. This carries into Thursday, Sept 10, where the energy picks up a bit more – still small, around 2ft, but cleaner and more organized.
Cala-Nova (Ibiza) is the place to be for this. It's a beach and reef setup. The pick of the period is shaping up for Monday, Sept 14. We've got a small but fun pulse of ESE swell around 3ft, and the wind is offshore in the morning, making it clean and glassy. That's when the energy really kicks in, the most we'll see all period. It's not big, but with those clean conditions, it'll be the best we get. Good size for everyone.
After that, it's back to the small stuff and onshore winds. Nothing else worth chasing.
So, aim for the 14th if you can. That's your window.
