The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – I've got the gen on your local stretch, and I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. This is a tough one.
Right now, the outlook for Ibiza is pretty flat. For the next week and a half, we're looking at a real dry spell. The swell is almost non-existent, with tiny waves barely reaching 0.7ft to 1ft. The energy is pathetic, reading just 3 to 6 (weak energy), and the period is short, mostly 3 to 5 seconds. That's just wind chop, not real surf. The water is a balmy 83°, which is over 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – very unusual. It feels like a warm bath, but there's nothing to ride.
We're looking at a gap of about ten days with no real surf on offer. The conditions are poor, with the wind mostly onshore or cross-onshore, especially in the afternoons. The mornings are often glassy, but with no swell to speak of, that doesn't help.
The first real pulse of swell comes in on Sunday, the 16th of August. It's still small, with a 2ft swell from the East, but it's a start. The combined energy is a weak 26. The wind is a light cross-shore, which is better than onshore, but it's still not great. The following day, Monday the 17th, is actually the best of a bad bunch. We get a 0.7ft swell from the ESE, but the wind turns cross-offshore from the North. That'll clean things up nicely, but the wave height is tiny. It's a morning session for a longboard or a foiler, if you've got one.
After that, we see a bit more life around the 19th and 20th. The swell builds to 3ft from the SE, with a period of 5-6 seconds. The energy climbs to 51 (still weak) on the 20th. The wind is onshore, so it'll be bumpy, but there's at least a bit of push. The water is still very warm, but the quality is poor.
For the whole 16-day window, there's no standout. Nothing even comes close. The best bet is Monday the 17th of August for the cleanest conditions, but you'll be scratching for a wave. The setup at Cala Nova (Ibiza) is a beach and reef, but with this tiny swell and onshore winds, it's not looking interesting for paddle surfing. If you're a kiter, the bigger winds and bumpy conditions on the 15th and 16th might be more your thing.
Keep your eyes on the charts, but this one's a write-off. Get the wax off your board and go for a swim.
