The Lowdown
Well, grab a coffee and pull up a sand chair, because I gotta level with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bloody flat for our stretch of coast. I've checked the charts, and honestly, it's a bit of a drought out there. From now through the end of the month, there’s just no swell on the horizon that’s going to get our hearts racing.
The only day that even shows a pulse is Thursday the 17th. We might see a small, weak pulse of energy. The buoys are showing a tiny 3ft wave early on, but it’s coming from the east with a short, snappy 5-second period. That’s just not going to have any push behind it. The wind will be howling onshore at 19 mph from the east, making it messy and lumpy. Not your day. By the afternoon, the swell drops to 2ft from the northeast with a slightly better 8-second period, and the wind swings around to the northwest, going glassy. The wave comment calls it "surfable but very ordinary," and I’d agree. It’s knee-high slop at best.
The rest of the run is just grim. From Friday the 18th through to the 1st of October, we’re looking at flatness. The swell heights are mostly under 3ft, with periods under 8 seconds. The energy readings are all in the single digits or double digits – weak all the way. There might be the odd glassy morning, like the 29th, 30th, or 1st of October, but with no swell to push through, it’s just a flat, clean ocean. Not a wave to be had.
I know this isn't the news you wanted. But it’s part of the game. The north coast of Ibiza is always a fickle mistress, and this looks like one of those stretches where she’s taking a holiday. If you’re desperate for a splash, a kayak or a paddleboard might be more your friend than a surfboard. But for surfing? It’s a hard pass.
Keep an eye on that weekend of the 30th and 1st of October; if any late-season groundswell decides to show up, the offshore winds from the SSW could make things interesting. But that's a big "if" right now. For the foreseeable future, the forecast is dry for waves.
Stay patient, keep the wax off your boards, and let’s hope the ocean wakes up soon.
