The Lowdown
Alright, grab a seat. Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you: the next sixteen days for Ibiza's Punta Xarraca are looking like a proper flat spell. There’s a big ol’ gap right from the start with no surf to speak of. We’ve got a dry run in the forecast until Thursday the 17th of September, so you’re looking at nearly a week of flat, clean conditions with nothing to ride.
Things tease us a bit on the 17th when a lumpy, short-period windswell shows up—4ft from the ENE but with a shocking 5-second period. The combined energy is a weak 83 (low wave energy), and the wind is a fresh cross-shore at 19 mph. The whole setup is a messy cross-chop, not worth paddling out for. That carries on through the 18th with similar junk, though the wind swings cross-offshore on Friday afternoon, cleaning it up a little. Still, with 4ft of weak, short-period swell, it’s a frustrating combination.
The only real standout in the whole outlook comes right near the end, on Wednesday the 23rd of September. That afternoon, we see a little pulse of 2ft from the NE with a period stretching to 9 seconds—that’s enough to get the bank working if you’re picky. The combined swell energy is a weak 67 so there’s not much push, but the wind is a light cross-offshore from the SW. The file calls it “surfable” and that’s about as good as this run gets. For a break that’s inconsistent and rarely does much, this is actually the best on offer.
Don’t forget, the water temperature here is 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—about 5° above average, so you’re in a bath. A rare and unusual heat spike.
Honestly, mate, this stretch is a write-off for anything decent. You’d be better off having a beer and watching the horizon. If you’re desperate, that Wednesday arvo is your only real shot.
Rusty.
