The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s cut straight to it. Look, I’ve scanned the whole 16-day window for this spot, and I’ve got to be honest with you – it’s a tough stretch. There’s no real surf to get excited about for most of it. We’ve got a big gap of flat, clean days from Sunday, September 6th right through to the middle of the week after, with barely a ripple. The first few days are equally poor.
The only flicker of something half-rideable comes late in the game. On Thursday, September 3rd, the afternoon shapes up as the closest thing to a session all period. At Punta-Xarraca-Ibiza, we see a 3ft swell from the NE, with a clean, cross-offshore breeze. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s not going to have much punch, but at least the surface will be clean. The combined swell energy is weak at 78, so don’t expect any power. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary.
Then, on Saturday, September 12th, the afternoon offers a similar setup: 3ft from the NE, period of 7 seconds, with a clean cross-off wind from the SE. Again, it’s just surfable, nothing special. The energy is still weak at 93.
The rest of the period is either flat or blown out with onshore winds. The water temperature is sitting at 83°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 5° above average, so you can leave the wetsuit at home.
To be blunt, there’s no standout session here. If you’re desperate for a paddle, those two afternoons are your only hope, but keep the expectations on the floor.
