The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – looking at the charts for Ibiza, it’s a tough stretch. We’ve got a long, dry spell ahead, so don’t get your hopes up too early.
Right now, and for the next week, there’s basically nothing doing. The first real sniff of anything comes on Friday the 21st of August, but even then it’s a bit of a tease. The morning shows a small 4ft swell from the North, but the wind is a light cross-onshore from the NW, messing up what little rideable energy there is. The energy is weak (74). Then Friday afternoon, we finally see a pulse of swell arrive at Punta-Xarraca (Ibiza) – a 5ft NE groundswell with a period of 8 seconds. The energy jumps up to a solid moderate (312), but it’s coming with a fresh onshore wind from the NNE. It’s borderline, and the file flags it as marginal. The water is much warmer than average for this time of year at 84°, which is over three degrees above normal, so you'll be comfortable in boardshorts at least.
The wind cleans up beautifully on Saturday the 22nd, turning light offshore from the South, but the swell drops right back down to a tiny 2ft from the NE. The energy is gone (19). After that, it’s back to flatness or tiny scraps right through until the end of the forecast on the 28th.
Honestly, this is a classic Ibiza summer pattern. A blank run like this is pretty normal here. The only sliver of a chance is that Friday afternoon session on the 21st, but with the onshore wind, it’ll be a messy one. For anyone looking for a paddle, it’s a wait-and-see game.
