The Lowdown
Oi, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty flat for Ibiza - Punta Xarraca. The forecast is a long, quiet stretch with barely a ripple to get excited about. There's a bit of a pulse around the 10th, but it's not enough to write home about. Let's break it down.
We kick off Wednesday the 9th with nothing doing – zero energy. The water is a warm 83°F, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year, but that's about the only notable thing. The sea is flat or messy.
Thursday the 10th offers the only real chance of a wave, but it's a marginal one. The swell from the NE bumps up to 5ft, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate. The wind is cross-shore from the E at 12 mph, which isn't doing it any favours. The morning is a mess, the afternoon is slightly cleaner with a gentle breeze, but it's still a cross-chop. It's a beach and reef setup, but it's also inconsistent, so don't bank on it.
From Friday the 11th onwards, the swell drops off a cliff. The rest of the first week and into the second week sees swell heights under 2ft, with energy readings barely cracking double digits. There are some glassy mornings, like on Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th, but the ocean is flat, so that glassy perfection is wasted. The wind is generally light and clean, but there's nothing to ride.
The pattern continues deep into the second week. The combined energy figures are mostly single-digit, with the swell fluctuating between 0.3ft and 1ft. It's just a long, drawn-out flat spell. The consistent theme is "poor surf conditions" and "clean" or "glassy" flat water. It's a tough run.
Honestly, if you're looking to paddle, this is a write-off. The water is warm, but the waves are missing. It might be a better time for a different kind of water sport. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, the forecast is a dud.
Rusty.
