The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for Ibiza.
Well, I’ll be honest with you – this is a tough one. Looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a real struggle to find any proper surf. There’s a massive gap of nothing from the start all the way through to almost the end of the period. The first week and a half are basically a write-off, with wave height readings of zero or a tiny 0.3ft showing up, and the "combined energy" of the swell is sitting at a pathetic 1. That’s barely a ripple. The water’s warm, coming in at 84°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but you’ll be doing more swimming than surfing.
The only real flicker of life comes on Thursday, August 20th. We’ve got a bit of a swell building from the NE. The morning session is small, around 4ft, with a clean, light cross-offshore breeze from the SE. It’s surfable, but the 5-second period is short and weak, giving it a combined energy of only 70. It’s just ordinary. The afternoon of the 20th is where the numbers finally get interesting. The swell jumps to 7ft from the NE with a 7-second period, and the combined energy rockets up to 717. That’s a solid amount of power. But, the wind is a cross-offshore from the ESE, which is alright, but the conditions are described as "marginal," so don’t expect perfection. At 7ft, the waves are getting into the size range that’s best left to the experienced crew.
Your best bet, if you’re desperate for a paddle, is Ibiza – Punta Xarraca. It’s a beach and reef setup, exposed to the north-northeast, which is the direction the swell is coming from on the 20th. However, be warned: this spot is inconsistent and rarely breaks. The fact that it’s even showing up in the forecast is notable. The afternoon of the 20th offers the biggest swell, but the short period (7 seconds) means it won’t be the cleanest, lined-up wave. It could be a bit crumbly and punchy. The morning of the 20th will be much smaller and cleaner, but the energy is weak. For the rest of the 16 days, you’re looking at flat, clean glassy conditions, but without any swell to push through.
Honestly, for the first 11 days, and again after the 20th, it’s all flat. The 20th is the only day that pops. If you’ve got a kite, the afternoon of the 20th might be more interesting than trying to paddle that messy, short-period swell on a beach break.
