The Lowdown
Alright, let me level with you.
Right now, and for the next week and a half, we are looking at a whole lot of nothing. The scores are flat, the energy is missing, and Punta Xarraca is just going to be a pretty place to have a swim, not a surf.
We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and choppy conditions. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and what’s there is short-period windswell – we're talking 4 to 8 seconds. That’s not going to push any real shape into the beach-and-reef setup. The wind isn't helping either. Most of the time it’s cross-onshore or straight onshore from the northeast, keeping things lumpy and messy. There’s no push, no power, no drive.
Midweek next week, there’s a bit of a bump on Thursday the 17th with 4ft of NE swell, but the period is only 8 seconds and the wind is howling onshore at 12 mph from the north. That’s not a surf window, that’s a washing machine. The combined energy gets up to 359, which is moderate, but it’s all short-period chop, so it will close out and crumble. Not worth the paddle.
After that, it just fades back to tiny, weak, and messy. There’s a bit more energy showing on Monday the 28th, with 6ft from the east, but again, it’s only 6 seconds and blowing straight onshore. The combined energy is 192, so there’s some push, but the period is too short and the wind kills it. That’s a day for the bodyboarders at best, and even then, it’s going to be a battle.
Honestly, the whole 16-day window is a write-off for surfing at Punta Xarraca (Ibiza). The water is a warm 81° with the anomaly at 3°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s not miserable, but you’re not going to be riding anything. The break is inconsistent at the best of times, so this flat spell is par for the course around here. We might get lucky and a forecast might change, but don't hold your breath.
If you’re really jonesing, this is more of a kite-surfing situation, given the onshore winds and the chop. But for a surfboard? Leave it at home.
