The Lowdown

Hey, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – if you've got your heart set on a proper surf session in Ibiza over the next sixteen days, you're looking at a pretty lean run. The forecast is basically a flat spell with only tiny, weak little slivers of energy showing up, and nothing that's going to get the heart racing. We're talking about Cala Nova, a beach and reef setup that's exposed to the south-east, but the swell just isn't cooperating.

Right out of the gate, Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are a write-off. We're looking at waves around 2ft or smaller, with a short, weak period of 4 to 5 seconds. The combined energy is barely a whisper, hitting just 15 to 30 (low energy) on Wednesday, and then dropping to a measly 2 to 3 on Thursday. The wind is a messy cross or onshore breeze, so the surface is chopped up. No go.

Friday the 4th offers a tiny tease. The morning starts glassy with the wind gone, and a 1ft wave from the NE with a 6-second period pops up. The energy is still pitiful at 9 (very low), and it's a poor surf conditions call. It's basically a flat, glassy lake with a ripple. Not worth paddling out for.

From Saturday the 5th through to Monday the 7th, we’re looking at zero to 1ft of swell, again with short periods and almost no energy. The wind is light and variable, sometimes glassy, but there's nothing to ride. Sunday the 6th is a total flat day.

We see a slight bump around Tuesday the 8th with 1ft waves, but the wind turns onshore, making it choppy. The energy only creeps to 12 (low). Same story for the middle of the next week – small, weak, and messy.

The best opportunity in this whole bleak outlook shows up on the morning of Tuesday the 15th of September. We get the biggest swell of the period: 3ft from the ESE. The period extends to a slightly more meaningful 6 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 43 (still low-moderate). The wind is a light cross-shore from the ENE at 6 mph, so it should be reasonably clean with just small ripples. It's not big, but it's the least worst option.

Then, the true standout – the one to aim for – is the morning of Wednesday the 16th of September. The swell holds at 3ft from the ESE with a 6-second period and energy of 46 (low-moderate). But here's the kicker: the wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the NNE at just 3 mph. That’s clean. The Thursday the 17th morning then follows with glassy conditions and a dropping 2ft swell.

So, truth be told, there's nothing here for anyone but a complete beginner on a foamie, and even then it's a struggle. With the combined energy never breaking 50 (very weak), the whole forecast is one long, flat gap. The only windows where you might find a tiny, weak little wave to yourself are the early mornings of the 15th, 16th, and 17th of September. Given the lack of swell, crowds won't be an issue – you'll have the place to yourself. It’s a long-range hope, but this far out, that's all we've got. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, don't hold your breath.

Rusty.
