The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what's on the menu for Ibiza.
First things first, we're looking at a real flat spell to kick things off. There's basically nothing surfable for the first week or so, from Tuesday the 11th right through to the morning of Monday the 17th. It's a frustrating stretch of small, choppy, or non-existent waves. You'll be doing more sunbathing than surfing.
The first real flicker of hope comes on Monday the 17th morning, but it's tiny. We're talking about a 1.3ft wave from the east, with a short 4-second period, and the wind is cross-onshore making it choppy. Not worth paddling out for.
The next notable bump is on Wednesday the 19th. The morning shows a small 1.6ft NE swell at 6 seconds, but the wind is clean and cross-offshore. The afternoon sees a jump to 3.9ft from the NNE, but with a period of only 5 seconds, the combined energy is still weak (69). It's surfable, but very ordinary.
Honestly, the only standout in this whole 16-day window is the afternoon of Tuesday the 25th of August. That's the one to circle. The swell from the north jumps to 6.2ft, with a combined energy of 273 – that's moderate energy, a real pulse of life. The wind is a gentle offshore from the south, keeping the surface clean. It's a beach-and-reef setup here at Punta-Xarraca-Ibiza, and with that size and offshore wind, it could actually be fun. The water is a very warm 84.2°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won't need a thick wetsuit.
So, the call is: wait it out. The first week is a write-off. The 25th of August afternoon is your best bet, but it's a long way off, so keep an eye on the forecast. Before that, it's mostly flat and ordinary.
