Baler - Lindy's Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.

Honestly, this is a quiet stretch for Lindy’s Point. The first few days offer tiny waves and ordinary conditions, nothing to get excited about. The swell stays small through the whole period, with a bit of a lift around the start of September.

We’ve got a few days of surfable but very ordinary waves from Thursday 27 August through to Wednesday 3 September. Swell holds around 1ft to 2ft from ENE then shifting NE. The wind is offshore for most of that time – WSW to W – so the surface will be clean, especially through the mornings. The combined energy sits in the weak range, mostly between 39 and 139, so it’s small and gutless. Thursday 3 September morning sees a light breeze and clean 2ft NE swell with a period of 13 seconds, which gives a little shape, but it’s still tiny. That’s about as good as it gets.

After Wednesday 3 September, the surf really drops away. From Thursday 4 September right through to Thursday 11 September, the swell is 0.3ft to 1ft, mostly from ENE or NE, with periods varying from 10 to 16 seconds. The combined energy drops right down into the single digits or low tens. The wind is light and sometimes glassy, especially on Sunday 6 September afternoon and Tuesday 8 September afternoon, but the waves are just too small to ride. There’s a little bump on Tuesday 8 September morning with 1ft NE swell and clean conditions, but it’s still barely surfable.

The standout window is Tuesday 1 September through Wednesday 3 September. The swell bumps up to 2ft from the NE, with periods around 11 to 13 seconds, and the combined energy reaches 125 to 139 – still moderate but the best on offer. The wind is offshore and light, especially on the mornings, giving clean little waves. This is the pick of the bunch, but it’s really only for longboards or fun shapes. Not a day for anything with a thruster.

If you’re a beginner, any of these days with swell under 5ft and offshore wind are fine for a soft top. Nothing here is over 5ft, so it’s not a problem. The period is usually between 10 and 13 seconds, so it’s a mix of short and medium groundswell, breaking with a bit of shape but not much power.

Crowds at Lindy’s Point (Balearic Islands) are listed as ‘sometimes’, so you might see a few others out, but with waves this small, it’ll be quiet.

Overall, the best bet is the morning of Wednesday 3 September: 2ft NE swell, 13 seconds, light WSW wind, clean. Grab your log and a smile. It’s not a classic, but it’s all we’ve got.

Rusty.
