The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the forecast is looking pretty grim for a long stretch. For the first ten days or so, we’re staring at a real flat spell. There’s just nothing doing. From Friday the 7th right through until the morning of Monday the 17th, it’s a big empty gap of tiny, un-rideable slop, or just flat calm. You’d be wasting your time even looking at the water.
It’s not until the afternoon of Monday the 17th that we finally see a little pulse of life, but even then, it’s a 2 ft windswell from the N with a short, weak period of 4 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 8 (weak energy). It’s not something to get excited about.
The real standout, if you can wait that long, is Tuesday the 18th. We get a bit of a bump from the northeast. The morning starts with a clean 2 ft, 8-second period swell, and the wind is light offshore from the S. The combined energy jumps to 57 (weak energy). The afternoon gets even better: the swell builds to 3 ft from the NE, still with an 8-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the E. The combined energy reaches 132 (moderate wave energy). This is the best on offer by a long shot. The break is *Ibiza - Punta Xarraca*, a beach and reef setup, and it’s exposed to the NNE swell. The optimum swell direction is also NNE, so this is a decent match. Keep in mind it’s an inconsistent spot, so don’t expect a packed lineup, but it can be a bit of a local secret when it does turn on. The water is a toasty 84°, which is a massive 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – very unusual, so you’ll be in boardies for sure.
After that, it drops back off again quickly. The rest of the week looks small and poor again. So, that window on Tuesday the 18th is your one and only chance for a surf. It’s not giant, but it’s clean, and with that offshore wind, it’ll be worth the wait.
Rusty.
