The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next two weeks are looking pretty bleak for a proper paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, small, and messy conditions ahead, so don't be in a rush to wax up.
The first real pulse of energy we see doesn’t arrive until Thursday, the 24th of September. Up until then, it’s a real struggle. Most days show tiny, weak swell with poor wind, and a lot of the time there’s simply no wave at all. From the 14th right through to the 23rd, we’re looking at a solid ten-day gap where there’s nothing worth recommending. It’s a tough run for the area.
Your only real standout, and the one to keep an eye on, is Cala-Nova (Ibiza) on the morning of Thursday, the 24th of September. Now, we’re talking about a small window here, but it’s the best of a bad lot. We’ve got a 3 ft swell coming from the SSW, which is a good direction for this exposed beach-and-reef setup. The period is 7 seconds, so it’s a short-period windswell, not a groundswell with any grunt. The combined energy is moderate at 101, so there’s a little bit of push. The real winner here is the wind – a light offshore from the NNW, which should keep the surface clean. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
But let’s keep it real, the score is low. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Don’t expect perfection. For a beginner, this 3 ft swell is fine, but it’s not the kind of day that gets the heart racing. For anyone else, it’s a last resort.
So, the long and short of it: you’ve got a long wait for a very average day on the 24th. Keep your board close, but your expectations closer.
Rusty.
