Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ibiza - Punta Xarraca over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Ibiza over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a quiet stretch. We're looking at a long, dry spell with hardly a ripple to speak of for the first ten days or so. The only game in town, and it's a hit-and-miss one at that, is Ibiza - Punta Xarraca. This spot is a beach and reef setup, and it's inconsistent, so it doesn't break often. When it does, it's best for beginners, but the swell is tiny and the window is narrow.
The water's sitting at 81°, which is a solid 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – that's very unusual, feels like bathwater.
For the first week, from Sunday the 12th through to around Saturday the 19th of July, it's pretty much a write-off. We're seeing flat spells with zero combined energy, and the few tiny pulses of swell we get are barely registering. The best we see is a 2ft swell from the east on the morning of Sunday the 12th, but it's a short-period 4-second windswell with a combined energy of just 17 (weak), and the wind is a cross-shore breeze creating chop. Not worth a paddle.
There's a little bump on Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th of July, with the swell nudging up to 2ft from the NE, but the energy is still very low (16). The wind on Friday afternoon goes cross-offshore, keeping things clean, but the wave is just too small to get excited about.
After that, we go flat again from the 19th right through to the 22nd of July. Honestly, it's a ghost town out there.
We finally see a tiny pulse of life on the morning of Tuesday the 22nd of July, with a 1ft NE swell, period 4 seconds, and a combined energy of 3 (weak). The wind is clean and light, but it's barely a ripple.
The best chance for a surf, if you can call it that, is on the morning of Friday the 24th of July. We've got a 0.3ft swell from the NE, but the period stretches to 6 seconds, and the combined energy hits 3 (still weak). The real kicker is the wind – it's glassy, dead calm. That's the only positive here. The swell is tiny, but it'll be clean. The optimum swell direction for this spot is NNE, and the swell is coming from the NE, so it's in the right ballpark.
The same goes for the morning of Saturday the 25th of July, with a 1.0ft NE swell, 6-second period, and a combined energy of 5 (weak). The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it'll be clean, but again, it's tiny.
Overall, this is a poor run for Punta Xarraca. The swell is too small and inconsistent to be worth the drive. If you're desperate for a splash, the 24th and 25th of July offer the cleanest, glassiest conditions, but you'll be floating on a lake. For anything with real push, you'll have to wait for a bigger system.
This is Rusty, signing off.
