The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, let’s talk about what’s on offer here in Ibiza. Rusty here, and I’ve got to be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one. For the next week or so, it’s just not happening. We’re looking at a proper flat spell with nothing worth paddling out for. The first batch of any real energy doesn’t show up until Thursday the 17th, so you’re looking at a solid 7-day gap with no real surf to speak of.
Now, if you’re holding out hope, the best of a quiet bunch looks set for the morning of Thursday the 17th at Cala Nova. We get a little bump of 4 ft from the east, with a clean 5-second period on it. What makes it stand out is the glass conditions – absolute zero wind, just a clean, smooth surface. It’s a small, weak swell though, with the combined energy only at 53, so it’s more of a longboard or funboard session. For beginners, it’s small enough to handle, and because it’s been so flat, the crowd potential is there – it could get busy with everyone keen for a splash.
The afternoon of the 17th keeps some size around 3 ft, but the wind swings hard out of the north-northeast at 19 mph. That’s a strong offshore breeze, which will clean the faces up, but that power will make it a bit of a battle to get out. For the experienced locals, it might offer a few fast, clean lines, but it won't be easy.
The rest of the run after that is mostly tiny or onshore slop. The morning of Sunday the 20th turns clean again with a light offshore from the north-northeast, but the swell is barely 1.0 ft – not enough to ride. The morning of Monday the 21st is the same story, just ankle-biters.
So, the honest truth? It’s a lean period. If you need a surf, the clean, glassy 4 ft swell on the morning of the 17th is the only real standout, but keep the expectations in the small-wave range.
Rusty.
