The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be real: the next two weeks in Ibiza are not about scoring epic waves. We're looking at a long, dry stretch with barely a ripple to get excited about. The water is sitting at a very warm 81.7°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least the swims will be good.
The first recommendation pops up on Saturday the 6th of September, but it's just a tiny, weak 0.3 ft swell out of the SE with a short 4-second period. The combined wave energy is a measly 2, so it's basically flat.
There's a real gap of nothing happening. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th see a tiny 1.0 ft to 1.3 ft SE swell, but the wind is all over the place. The best of that poor lot is on Tuesday morning, September 8th, when we get a glassy calm early session on a 1.0 ft wave. It's tiny, but it'll be clean.
Wednesday the 9th has a morning cross-offshore breeze making it a bit cleaner, but the swell is still only 1.3 ft. The energy is just too weak.
We finally see a bit of life on Thursday the 10th of September. The swell bumps up to 2.9 ft from the east, with a period of 5 seconds and a combined energy of 39. It's still not great, and the wind is a light cross-onshore, so it'll be a bit bumpy. This is about as good as it gets for the whole two weeks.
The following days are a washout. Light winds, tiny swells, and poor conditions just keep repeating. Saturday the 13th offers a small 1.6 ft swell with a bit of cross-shore chop, and Sunday the 14th sees the biggest swell of the period at 4.6 ft from the east, with a 6-second period and a combined energy of 139. That's still a weak, short-period swell, and it's accompanied by a moderate cross-onshore wind making it choppy. It's a messy, beginner-level wave at best.
After that, we're back to near nothing. Wednesday the 16th sees a glassy morning on a 1.0 ft swell, but it's just a tease. The pattern of tiny, weak, and poor conditions continues right through to the end of the forecast on Sunday the 20th of September.
Honestly, if you must get wet, your best bet is the early morning glass-offs on the 8th and the 16th for a clean paddle, but don't expect to surf. The setup with the light wind and small, weak swell is more interesting for a swim or a paddleboard than a surfboard. It's a tough run for the waves.
