The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the forecast for this stretch of coast is a tough one. We're looking at a long, flat grind for the most part. The data shows that Cala Nova (Ibiza) is just not going to be doing its thing for the foreseeable future.
For the next week and a half, we're talking about a whole lot of nothing. From now until around the 16th of September, the swell is barely a whisper. You'll see the occasional ankle-biter at 0.3ft to 0.7ft, but with periods of 4 to 7 seconds, it's just not going to have any push. The wave energy is incredibly weak, sitting at single digits and low double digits (like 1, 2, and 9). It's the kind of small, weak stuff that's more frustration than fun. The wind is mostly light, even glassy at times, but there's simply no wave to ride. That's a long stretch of flatness to get through. The only real highlight in that first week is a bit of glassy surf early Friday morning, the 11th, but at 0.7ft, you'd need a longboard and a lot of patience.
There’s a slight pulse of energy on the 17th, with the swell bumping to 2ft and the combined energy climbing to 22. It's still small, but it's the most we've seen. The wind is light onshore, so it might just be a bit bumpy. Still, we're not talking about a day to get excited about, more just a sign that there is a pulse out there.
The best of a poor bunch looks like it might be on Sunday the 20th. There’s a clean, glassy morning with a 1ft east-southeast swell at 8 seconds. It's not going to be a classic, but the conditions will at least be clean. The energy is still weak (20), so keep your expectations low.
Honestly, for the next two weeks, there are no standout days. We've got a few days with clean conditions and tiny waves, but nothing that any of you would want to paddle out for. The water temperature is 83°F, and it's running about 5° warmer than average, so it's very unusual for this time of year. On the plus side, if it's not breaking, it at least feels like a warm bath. Given the small swell and occasional onshore wind, this stretch of beach-and-reef setup seems more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. It’s going to be a test of patience, folks.
This is a tough one to call, but the flat spell looks normal for this area. Hang tight, the forecasts can always change. This is Rusty, signing off.
