The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, switching to feet for my fellow imperial surfers.
So, look – Ibiza is on a flat spell. The only break in the region is Punta-Xarraca (Ibiza), and it's pretty much a no-go for the next two weeks.
The water is way warmer than average at 85°, but the swell energy is a big goose egg (0) for the first week and beyond. No surf, just ripples and glassy flatness. You’ll be staring at a mirror out there.
The only hint of life comes right at the end. On Tuesday the 1st of September, we finally see something. The morning stays clean but tiny, and by the afternoon we get a small bump: 2ft swell from the NE, with a period of 8 seconds. The energy hits 65, and the wind turns offshore from the SSW. It’ll be surfable, but it’s very ordinary – just weak, waist-high slop. Not a classic by any means, just something to paddle around on if you’re really jonesing.
So that’s the story. A big, long gap of nothing, then one tiny, mediocre window. If you’ve got the itch, that Tuesday afternoon is your best – and only – bet.
Stay loose, Rusty.
