The Lowdown
Right then, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into the outlook for Ibiza’s Punta Xarraca. I’ll be honest with you, the next week and a bit is a proper write-off. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with near-zero swell for over a week. The first half of the forecast is all about tiny, weak energy and mostly cross-off or cross-on breezes, not enough to get a wetsuit wet for. The water’s sitting at a balmy 81°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be sweating in a steamer, but that’s the only highlight.
The first real glimmer of something ridable shows up on Saturday, July 25th. The morning brings a tiny 4ft NE swell at 4 seconds, with clean conditions and a light cross-off breeze. The combined energy is weak at 54, so you’re looking at small, soft lumps. It’s surfable, but only just. The afternoon actually improves a touch, with 5ft from the N, a period of 6 seconds, and clean conditions again. The combined energy climbs to 148, so it’s got a bit more push, but it’s still very ordinary. For a beginner, this is borderline, but it’s the best we’ve got.
Now, if you’re an expert, you’ll want to keep an eye on Sunday, July 26th. The morning brings a solid 8ft swell from the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a big jump in energy, with a combined reading of 621, which is strong. But here’s the kicker – it’s accompanied by a 22 mph onshore wind from the north. That’s a fresh breeze on the nose, making it blown-out and messy. It’s only for experienced paddlers, and even then, it’s not going to be pretty. The afternoon drops to 4ft from the NE, period 10 seconds, with a moderate cross-on breeze, which leaves it choppy. The energy is still high at 355, but the wind is a killer.
Beyond that, the surf fades again with weak, short-period leftovers. The setup here is a beach and reef, so when it’s onshore and messy, it’s honestly more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. For a stand-out, you’re looking at Saturday the 25th afternoon for the cleanest, most surfable waves, or Sunday the 26th morning if you’re hardcore and don’t mind the wind. The crowd profile is “sometimes,” so you might have company, but given the poor conditions, I doubt it’ll be packed.
Rusty.
