The Lowdown
Alright, this is a bit of a tough one for Ibiza. Look, I'm just gonna level with you – the forecast for the next 16 days is a big, flat bust. We're talking about a real dry spell.
The only break that gets any sort of nod is Punta Xarraca (Ibiza), but even that's a struggle. It's a beach and reef setup that's inconsistent and rarely breaks, so you're really chasing a ghost here. The water is sitting at a very warm 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, almost like a bathtub. But that's about the only positive.
The whole 16-day outlook is basically a graveyard of zeros. The combined swell energy is a pathetic 6 (that's a weak energy reading) for the first sign of life on Friday the 4th, with a tiny 1ft swell from the NE at a short 6 seconds. It's glassy in the morning, which is nice, but the waves are just too small to do anything with. We get a few pulses of energy later in the second week, but nothing that changes the story.
The best of a bad bunch looks like Wednesday the 9th. The swell bumps up to 4ft in the morning, with a combined energy of 115 (moderate energy), coming from the NE. But the wind is a messy cross-onshore, 15 mph, with moderate rain. It's going to be choppy and lumpy. By the afternoon, it gets a bit bigger at 5ft, but the wind picks up to 19 mph fresh cross-onshore, and that longer 8-second period will just make it a washing machine. Honestly, that setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
After that, it's back to tiny, weak swells and flat spells. There's a gap of several days with no surf to recommend, and then the last few days of the second week show tiny 1ft pulses with clean winds, but the energy is still weak (around 14-16). It's just not enough, folks.
When the surf is this inconsistent and the recommendations are this poor, it's just one of those blank runs for the area. It tends not to stay this way forever, but for now, I’d leave the boards in the car.
