The Lowdown
Alright, grab a seat and listen up. This is Rusty, and I’m calling it straight from the beach.
To be real with you, the next 16 days here are a tough watch. Looking at the whole picture, this is a long stretch of flat, tiny, and messy conditions. There’s a big gap from the start all the way through the end of August with almost nothing to get excited about. The water temp is sitting at 85°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so it feels more like a bath than the ocean.
We do have one spot, Punta-Xarraca (Ibiza). It’s a beach and reef setup that’s inconsistent and rarely breaks. The swell direction it likes is from the NNE. For Tuesday the 18th of August through the rest of the month, the swell is tiny with a combined energy of just 1 (weak). The wind is mostly cross-off or light, keeping the surface clean, but there’s just no power. On Thursday the 20th of August morning, the wind switches to a strong cross-onshore from the NW at 25 mph, blowing straight into the break with a bumpy 5 ft of messy short-period swell (energy 117, moderate). That’s the most size we see, but it’s blown out, so set-ups are more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The only real standout, and I mean the only one worth a look, is the morning of Sunday the 23rd of August. We get a brief window of glassy conditions with a light breeze from the east, and the swell is 2 ft from the NNE with a 6-second period. The combined energy reaches 21 (weak), but those glassy conditions are a rare treat. The waves will be tiny, clean, and perfect for a longboard or a beginner wanting to get wet. But it’s tiny, so don’t expect much.
After that, we slide back into flatness. The following weeks see nothing but zeros and occasional tiny pulses of under 2 ft, with onshore winds and lumpy chop through the start of September. The best of the rest is the morning of Tuesday the 1st of September, where we get 2 ft from the NE (6s period, energy 39) but with a fresh cross-shore from the WNW that will make it lumpy. Nothing to get excited about. It’s a long, dry spell.
Rusty.
