The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about the surf in Ibiza. I'm telling you, mate, it’s a cold spell for waves. We’ve got a 16-day look ahead and it’s mostly flat as a pancake. Nothing to get your heart pumping.
We start with Punta-Xarraca-Ibiza (Ibiza). On Thursday afternoon, August 20th, there’s no swell at all. Water temp is a steamy 85°F, which is a full 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that is seriously strange and warm. But you won’t be surfing it, because there’s zero wave energy.
From the 20th all the way through to the end of the 3rd of September, it’s a major dry spell. Every day is flagged as “poor surf conditions.” Most of the time the combined wave energy is 0. Even when we do get a tiny bump, like a 0.3m (1 ft) swell from the NW on the 21st, the period is a pathetic 3 seconds with energy of just 2. That’s barely a ripple.
We get a little more on Saturday, August 22nd, with a 0.9m (3 ft) swell from the ENE, period of 6 seconds, and energy of 59. But the wind is cross-shore, making it choppy and ugly. Not worth paddling out.
One clean moment: Monday morning, August 24th, glassy wind and a 0.1m swell. That is not a wave, it’s a mirror.
The only real standout is Friday, September 4th. On the morning, we see a 1.0m (3 ft) swell from the NE with a 7-second period and energy of 88. The wind is a gentle cross-on, a little lumpy but rideable. Then in the afternoon, it gets better: the swell builds to 1.2m (4 ft), same direction, period of 7 seconds, and the combined swell energy jumps to 160, which is moderate. The wind turns to a gentle cross-shore and there’s only a slight chop. This is your best chance in the entire 16 days. It’s not big, but it’s the most energy we see. At this size, it’s fine for beginners and intermediates. But remember, this spot is inconsistent and rarely breaks, so don’t plan your life around it.
Overall, it’s a grim forecast. If the wind gets strong enough, this setup might be better for a kite than a surfboard, because the waves just aren’t there for paddling. Hopefully, things change, but for now, it’s a long, flat wait.
