The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's gonna be a tough stretch. We're looking at a long, dry spell with next to nothing in the water for days on end. The first real chance of a wave doesn't come around until Friday, August 22nd, and even then it's a slow burner.

For the first ten days or so, it's flat. From Tuesday the 11th right through until the end of next week, we're looking at tiny, weak dribbles. The swell energy is practically non-existent, with readings barely hitting double digits – mostly single-figure stuff. The water is really warm, about 85°F, which feels way warmer than normal for this time of year, like a bathtub. But with no swell, it doesn't matter much. You might see a few clean mornings of glassy water, like on Thursday the 13th, but it's just not doing anything. This is one of those blank runs that's pretty normal for the area when the swell windows just don't line up.

We finally see a pulse of life on Saturday, August 23rd. The energy starts to creep up, and by the afternoon, the swell at Cala Nova (Ibiza) gets to about 3ft from the ESE, with a moderate 7-second period. The combined energy is 68 – finally some moderate energy in the water. It's a bit onshore in the arvo, so it won't be perfect, but it's something to wet the line.

Now, the standout window looks like Monday, August 25th. That morning, the swell jumps up to 5ft from the SSW. The period stretches out to a proper 7 seconds, and the combined energy is a solid 257, which is strong for this spot. Mind you, that's getting up there in size – probably a bit much for the beginners, but for the rest of us, it's game on. The wind is cross-onshore, which is far from ideal, and it'll be choppy. It's a beach and reef set-up there, so with that size and the onshore wind, the waves will be pretty messy. It honestly looks more like a set-up for the kite-surfers to have a field day than for a clean paddle session.

Tuesday, August 26th morning hangs in there with a 2ft SSW swell, a 9-second period and cleaner cross-shore wind, so that might actually offer the cleanest wave of the whole run, even if it's smaller.

So, if you're desperate, the pick of the litter is that Tuesday, August 26th morning window for the cleanest conditions, or Monday, August 25th morning for the biggest push, but expect it to be rough. Don't hold your breath for the first week and a half – it's a waiting game.

Rusty.
