The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about what’s happening here in Ibiza.
Honestly, it’s a flat spell for the most part. From Saturday the 15th of August through until the morning of Monday the 24th of August, there’s nothing worth paddling for. Just tiny, weak dribbles of swell, and most of it with no push at all. The water’s running much warmer than average, around 86°, which is nice for a swim, but not for surfing.
Then, on the morning of Monday the 24th of August, we finally get a pulse. Punta Xarraca sees a clean 5ft swell from the NE, with a 7-second period. The combined energy is a proper 205 – it’s got some grunt. The real clincher is the wind: dead glassy. That’s a rare thing here, and with the swell direction coming from the NNE, it lines up perfectly for the break. It’s a little much for beginners, but for anyone else, that window will be clean and well-shaped.
The catch is the window is tiny. By the afternoon, the wind goes onshore from the North and ruins it. The days after are blown out by strong Northerly winds, and the few small swells that show up are all messy.
If you’re keen, set the alarm for the 24th. That Monday morning is your only real shot in this forecast. After that, it’s back to flatness.
