The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s be honest – the next couple of weeks here on Ibiza are a total washout for surf. We’ve got a massive gap at the start, and it’s going to be a long wait before you even want to look at the water. I’m talking about Punta Xarraca, a beach and reef break that rarely breaks as it is, and it’s not going to be doing much of anything for a while.
The entire first week, from now through Thursday, 10th September, is flat. Dead. Zero swell (combined energy of 0). The water is a warm 82°, which is about 4° warmer than normal for the season – that’s a very unusual anomaly. But it’s a bathtub with no waves.
The first real glimmer shows up on Friday morning, 11th September. A weak pulse of 3ft at 6 seconds from the NE, with a combined energy of just 66. That’s short-period, weak windswell. The wind is light offshore from the SSE, so it’ll be clean, but the waves are tiny and ordinary.
Friday afternoon, 11th September drops even more: 2ft at 5 seconds (energy 19) with a cross-offshore breeze. Still clean, still nothing to get excited about.
Then we hit another wall from Saturday, 12th September through to Tuesday, 16th September. Glassy mornings, some light chops, but combined energy readings of 9, 4, and mostly zeros. Not a single wave worth paddling for.
The only half-decent window shows up Thursday afternoon, 17th September. That’s a long way off, so take it with a grain of salt. Swell reaches 3ft from the NE at a 10-second period – that’s a groundswell with moderate energy (195). The wind is offshore from the S at 9 mph, so conditions should be clean. The direction is a bit off the NNE sweet spot, but it’s the best we’ll see. The waves are still called “very ordinary” though. It’s small, but with that period it might offer a few fun, lined-up waves at the reef.
Friday morning, 18th September sees it drop back to 2ft, 7-second swell from the NE (energy 54), with a light offshore breeze. Clean again, but fading fast.
Bottom line: if you’re not a kite surfer, this forecast is a dud for the most part. Punta Xarraca is inconsistent at the best of times, and with this run of flatness, you’ll be waiting until around 17th September for anything that even qualifies as surfable. It’s a long-range hope, not a guarantee. Keep an eye on the wind shifts, but for now, the board stays dry.
