The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s dive into what’s cookin’ for Ibiza.
Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – the next week and a half is a tough stretch for surf around Punta Xarraca. The water is a stunning 85°, which is a massive 6° warmer than usual, so it feels like a bath, but the waves are just not there. We’ve got an inconsistent, beginner-friendly beach and reef setup here, and for the first week, it’s flat or close to it. There’s a long gap with no real surf worth paddling for from now until the 27th of August. The energy is barely registering, with combined swell energy values stuck at 0 or in the single digits most days. It’s not a good sign.
The only glimmer of hope in this whole 16-day window lands on the afternoon of Friday, the 4th of September. That’s the standout. We finally see a pulse of energy with a 5ft swell from the NE, pushing through with a solid 8-second period. The combined energy hits 255 (moderate), and with clean, cross-offshore winds, this is the best we’ll get. The swell direction is NNE, which is bang on for this spot’s optimum. It’s a solid, clean wave for a Friday arvo session. The morning of the 4th is smaller but still surfable, but that afternoon is the pick.
Before that, the only other time you might get wet is late on Friday the 28th of August. The morning shows a 4ft swell from the north with onshore wind, so it’s messy. But the afternoon cleans right up with glassy conditions and a 4ft NE swell. The energy is 148 (moderate), and the period is 8 seconds. It’s surfable, but very ordinary – not a standout, just a chance to get out.
For the rest of the forecast, it’s a whole lot of nothing. Small windswells, tiny ripples, and plenty of flat days. This spot is inconsistent, and this run proves it. Don’t hold your breath for the first week, but keep an eye on that first Friday in September.
Rusty.
