The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a solid 16-day run from the 13th of August through the 28th, and honestly, it’s a real struggle to find a decent wave. The swell energy is almost non-existent, with the strongest reading barely hitting 49 (which is still weak). Most of the time, it’s flat, clean, blown out, or just pure glass with no push. For a spot that’s exposed to the NNE, we just aren’t seeing the right direction or any real size.
The one bright spot, and I mean the *only* one that even sniffs a recommendation, is Punta-Xarraca (Ibiza). And even then, it’s a long shot. The best chance you’ll get is on Monday, the 25th of August. The morning shows a 0.6m swell (about 2 ft) from the NNE with a period of 6 seconds, and the wind is light from the SE, making it a clean cross-off. The combined energy is still a weak 24, so it’s not going to be firing. It’s an inconsistent spot that rarely breaks anyway, so for it to show up at all is notable. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is much warmer than average for the time of year.
Everything else is either flat or so small and gutless it’s not worth paddling for. The 24th of August has the biggest swell of the run at 0.8m (about 3 ft) from the NE, with a 6-second period and clean offshore winds from the SSW, but the energy is still only 49 – barely a ripple. That afternoon could be borderline surfable, but you’d be working hard for weak, short-period dribblers.
So, there’s a gap of nearly two weeks of nothing, and then one tiny window mid-week in the final week. It’s a tough time to be a surfer here. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a long, dry spell.
Stay patient.
Rusty.
