The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's cut to the chase: the next week and a bit is a total flat spell for Ibiza's Punta Xarraca. Tuesday morning the 8th of September, water temp is sitting at a balmy 83°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath out there. But that's the only notable detail for a while. The ocean is basically taking a long holiday.
From this Tuesday through to Monday the 21st of September, we're looking at a solid run of tiny or no surf. A few days offer nothing at all – the combined energy of all swells is zero (0). On the rare days we see a bump, it's barely a ripple, like Friday morning the 11th with a meagre 1ft from the NE and a weak energy of just 11. The wind plays along, often clean or glassy, but there's simply no swell to work with. It's a blank stretch, pure and simple.
Now, hold onto your board, because it looks like things might finally stir toward the end of the outlook. Tuesday the 22nd of September shows a clean kick in the pants. Morning surf sees a solid 5ft from the NE, with moderate energy at 261, and a light SSW breeze keeping it clean. The afternoon looks even juicier: 6ft from the NE, energy jumps to 459, and the wind goes glassy. That's a proper window. Then Wednesday the 23rd holds onto waist-to-chest high 4ft from the NE, with a 9-second period making for some decent shape, and the wind stays offshore.
So, the standout is definitely Tuesday the 22nd of September. The afternoon session at Punta Xarraca (Ibiza) with 6ft NE swell and glassy conditions is the best bet in this whole 16-day window. The spot is inconsistent, and crowds are possible when it fires, but for those in the know, that afternoon looks like a gem. Wednesday morning the 23rd is a solid follow-up with clean 4ft surf and an offshore breeze.
Stay patient, keep an eye on that Tuesday, and don't hold your breath for the rest of the month.
Rusty.
