The Lowdown
Righto, folks. Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Ibiza is looking like a write-off for any decent surf. We’ve got a long dry spell ahead, so don’t be holding your breath for any waves.
We’re looking at Punta Xarraca, and the whole first week is a total bust. There’s no swell to speak of, and the water is sitting at a warm 82°, which is a massive 5° above normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, feels like a bath. But you won’t be needing a wetsuit because you won’t be paddling out. From Friday the 17th all the way through to Friday the 24th, it’s mostly flat or ankle-snappers with no energy. The combined swell energy is a big fat zero for most of that time, and when it does show a number, it’s a pathetic 1 or 2 (weak energy). There’s a long gap of days with no recommendations.
The only tiny flicker of life comes on Saturday the 25th in the morning. We finally see a bit of a pulse: 2ft of swell from the NE, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is still only moderate (55). The wind is glassy, so it would be clean, but with the break being inconsistent and the swell direction from the NNE, which is onshore here, it’s just not enough. It’s surfable but very ordinary. The rest of that day and the following week just fades back into nothing.
Honestly, nothing here is a standout. The whole 16-day run is a blank. For an area like this, a quiet spell is pretty normal. Forecasts can change, but right now, the only thing breaking is the heat. I’d save the energy for something else.
Rusty.
