The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Ibiza - Punta Xarraca.
To be straight with you, the next week and a half is looking pretty flat. We’ve got a long dry spell on the cards. From now through until the morning of Saturday the 15th of August, it’s basically a bust. The water’s gonna be glassy at times, but there’s just no energy in the water. The combined energy of all swells directed here is sitting at zero or barely a whisper, and the wave heights are lucky to get a toe over 1.3 ft. It’s the kind of situation where you’re better off on a paddleboard or a set of fins.
Then, Saturday the 15th of August, things start to twitch. The morning session brings a little 2.3 ft NE swell, but it’s a short period job at 5 seconds, so the energy is still weak. The wind is offshore from the SSE though, which is a nice touch. By the afternoon, the swell builds to 3.6 ft out of the East, still with a short 5-second period, and the combined energy climbs to 84. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. The wind goes cross-offshore, keeping it clean, but it’s not going to get the heart racing.
Monday the 17th of August, the morning has the best chance of the whole run. We’re looking at 3.9 ft from the NNW with a 6-second period and a light offshore wind from the SSE. The combined energy hits 96 (moderate wave energy). It’s still not a groundswell, but it’s the biggest and cleanest we’ll see. The afternoon bumps up to 4.3 ft from the North with a 7-second period, but the wind goes cross-offshore and the energy jumps to 164 (moderate wave energy). The problem is, the swell direction is swinging away from the optimum NNE direction, and the conditions are poor. So, while it’s bigger, it’s messy.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the morning of Monday the 17th is the only real standout. But keep your expectations in check. The swell is short period, so it’s not going to be the kind of long, wrapping lines you’d dream of. The crowds at Punta Xarraca can be a problem sometimes, so with the only decent swell in a fortnight, you won’t be alone.
Stay patient, and I’ll check back in when the charts look better.
