The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about the surf in Ibiza. We’ve got a long 16-day window ahead, and honestly, it’s a tough one. The first few days are a write-off, but hang in there, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
The whole period is pretty flat and weak. The combined swell energy barely gets a pulse, with values mostly in the single digits and low teens early on. We’re looking at a gap of nearly two weeks with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. The winds are all over the place, and the swell is tiny with short, weak periods. It’s a real bummer.
The only glimmer of hope pops up on Sunday, September 6th. For the first time, we get a sniff of something surfable. Ibiza - Cala Nova (beach and reef) will see a modest 4ft swell from the E, with a weak period of 5 seconds. The combined energy nudges up to 65, which is still weak, but it’s the best we’ve got. The real kicker is the morning wind: a light W breeze, going cross-offshore, which will make the waves glassy and clean. The water is a very warm 84°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
Now, the caveat. This is a beginner-friendly break, and that 4ft is small, but it's the only game in town. The afternoon on the 6th gets ruined by a strong 19 mph N wind, so it’s strictly a morning mission. Before that Sunday, don’t even bother. The rest of the days are all “poor surf conditions” with tiny, choppy, or onshore junk.
So, one true standout: Sunday, September 6th morning at Ibiza - Cala Nova. It’s not gonna be epic, but it’ll be the cleanest wave you’ll find in this entire forecast. Get on it early.
