The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the waves on offer for this stretch in Ibiza.
Frankly, for the next week or so, we’re looking at a bit of a flat spell. There’s a real gap from now until around the 19th of August where the swell just isn't showing up with any sort of punch. You’ll see tiny, weak 0.7-2ft slop with periods around 5 seconds and weak energy (single digits to low twenties on the energy scale). The wind isn’t doing us any favours either, mostly onshore or cross-shore, leaving the surface a mess. It’s not worth paddling out for.
Things start to perk up on Wednesday the 19th of August. The morning sees a jump to 5ft of east swell (156 combined energy), and by the afternoon it’s pushing 6ft from the east (279 combined energy). The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit soft and crumbly, but with a clean cross-offshore north-to-northwest wind, it’ll at least be ridable. This is probably your best bet across the whole outlook—decent size, clean lines.
By Thursday the 20th, the swell backs off significantly to 3-3ft but comes from the SSW with a clean offshore northwesterly. The energy is moderate at 116, and it’ll be clean, but the size is a bit underwhelming after Wednesday’s push. After that, it’s back to tiny or flat conditions for the rest of the window. So, really, your standout is Wednesday the 19th. The water temperature is sitting around average for this time of year.
Alright, keep your eyes on that mid-week pulse. Rusty out.
