The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. Rusty here.
Honestly, things are looking flat and quiet for Ibiza right now. The first proper surf we’re talking about won’t show up for over a week, a real dry spell from now until around the 9th of September. There’s just no energy in the water. We’ve got a long stretch of near-zero wave energy, with the combined swell energy barely hitting double digits, usually sitting at just 2 or 3. It’s a dead period, so don’t bother checking the cams until later.
The standout, and really the only window of interest, pops up on Wednesday the 9th of September at Punta-Xarraca-Ibiza. This is a beach and reef setup. Out of nowhere, the swell jumps up with a combined energy reading of 413, which is a moderate punch for this spot. We’re looking at a northeast swell around 6 ft with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a short-period, windswell-type wave, so it’ll be a bit racy and less powerful than a groundswell, but it’s the best on offer. The wind is cross-offshore from the SSE at about 9 mph, keeping it clean. The water temp is a balmy 82°, which is over 4° warmer than usual for this time of year, a nice bonus for a shorty session. The morning of the 9th is also worth a look, with a 6 ft NE swell, but the wind is a bit stronger at 12 mph. Keep in mind, this break is inconsistent, so don’t bank on it pumping all day. For a wave this size (close to 6 ft), it’s getting into the territory where beginners should be cautious.
The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off. After the 9th, it drops back to nothing. We get a brief pulse on the 14th of September with a 5 ft swell from the north (combined energy of 282), but it’s got a cross-shore breeze making it choppy, and that’s about it. It’s a lean forecast, lads.
Rusty.
