The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at the forecast for Ibiza. To be straight with you, the next 16 days are looking pretty bleak for a proper paddle. The only break on the books is Punta Xarraca, and it’s a fickle one – inconsistent at the best of times. For the first week and a half, there’s just nothing doing. Small, weak, short-period windswell, all with poor conditions. You’ll be staring at a long stretch of flatness or close to it.
The only real glimmer in the whole window shows up on Thursday afternoon, the 3rd of September. We finally see a bit of energy rolling in, with a combined swell energy of 103 (moderate). The swell is 4ft from the NE, with a period of 6 seconds. It’s still a short-period swell, but the wind is clean, coming from the ESE as a cross-offshore breeze. The setup is a beach and reef, so with that short period, it won’t be the most refined shape, but it’s the only game in town. It’s surfable, but only just. For a beginner, 4ft is getting to the upper limit of what’s comfortable, and given the inconsistency of this spot, you’ll be waiting.
Everything else is a write-off. The water is about average for the time of year. The conditions are just too poor for any kind of decent paddle session. This is one of those stretches where the forecast is just not cooperating. It’s the kind of blank run that happens in this area. Don’t hold your breath.
