Ibiza - Punta Xarraca Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Punta Xarraca. It’s not the prettiest picture, I’ll tell you that now. We’ve got a lot of flat, weak days ahead.

Starting Monday the 14th, there’s nothing. Glassy and clean, but flat as a pancake. The water is a warm 81°, which is about 5° above average, so it’s warm for a paddle, but that’s all you’ll be doing.

That flatness hangs around for the next few days. Tuesday and Wednesday are clean with light offshore breezes, but there’s just no swell. Thursday the 17th throws in a tiny 0.4m to 0.5m NE swell with a short 8-second period, but the wind is blowing onshore at 25 km/h, so it’s a complete washout.

The weekend stays weak. We’re looking at ankle-biters from the NE, 0.2m to 0.5m, with periods of 5 to 6 seconds. The energy is in the single digits or low teens – nothing doing. The light winds keep the surface looking okay, but there’s no push behind it.

Then we go completely flat again from the 21st through the 24th. This is kite-surfing weather, not surfing weather.

There’s one little blip right at the end. On Monday the 28th, there’s a tiny 0.1m with a nice offshore S wind, but it’s nothing. Then Tuesday the 29th is the only real highlight, if you can call it that. We get a 0.9m NE swell in the morning, but the period is a shocking 4 seconds. The energy does jump to 131, which is moderate, but that short period is going to make it a mess. The wind is light offshore in the morning though, so it will be clean on the surface. This break is inconsistent anyway, and with this short-period bump, it’s going to be tough going.

By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and that’s the end of that.

So, to sum it up: two weeks of nothing, with one very brief and marginal window on the morning of the 29th. If you’re willing to work for it, you might find a close-out or two at Punta Xarraca (Ibiza), but don’t hold your breath.
