The Lowdown
Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you—the surf situation around Ibiza’s Punta Xarraca is looking pretty darn bleak for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak, and inconsistent waves, and honestly, it’s not shaping up to be worth paddling out for. This spot, a beach and reef setup that needs a good NNE swell to work, is normally inconsistent anyway, and this forecast is really leaning into that. The good news? When it’s this flat, it usually doesn’t stay this way forever.
The window kicks off Saturday morning, August 29, with a tiny 1ft swell out of the north, but it’s got a period of only 4 seconds—that’s just wind slop. Combined energy is a paltry 4, and the morning has a light onshore breeze, so it’s not clean. The afternoon drops even smaller to 0.7ft. The next day, Sunday the 30th, offers a glassy morning with 1ft from the NE, but with only 5 seconds of period and 4 in energy, it’s still flat. We get a similar story on Monday the 31st—completely flat, zero energy.
Tuesday, September 1, brings back 1ft, but it’s cross-onshore and weak. Wednesday the 2nd sees a small bump: 2.3ft in the morning from the NNE with a period of 4 seconds and energy of 11, but the onshore wind kills it. The afternoon picks up a bit to 3.3ft from the NE, period 5 seconds, and energy climbs to 93, but it’s a cross-shore wind with some chop. Still not good for a paddle. Thursday the 3rd is glassy in the morning with 1.6ft, and the rest of the week fades back into tiny, clean but tiny surf, with nothing cracking the 1.6ft mark.
The next potential hiccup comes on Wednesday, September 9, when we see a push of 3.6ft in the morning from the NE, period 5 seconds, and energy of 57. The wind is light and cross-onshore though, so it’s choppy. By the afternoon, it builds to 4.6ft with a period of 7 seconds and a surge of energy up to 178, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy again. That 4.6ft size might look tempting, but with poor wind direction, it’s not going to be clean. Thursday the 10th offers cleaner conditions with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell drops back to 2.3ft.
Honestly, there’s no standout window here. The swell direction is mostly NE, which is close to the optimum NNE, but the sizes are tiny, the periods are short, and the consistency is terrible. For a beginner spot, even the small stuff on September 9, at 4.6ft, would be pushing it with that wind. It’s more of a kite-surfing setup on those windier days. Nothing to get excited about, folks.
