The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the Ibiza region. I’ll be straight with you – this is a quiet stretch for the boards. The forecast is a bit of a bummer, with a long gap of nothing worth paddling out for.
We’re starting on Thursday morning, 6th August. The only spot that’s even showing a pulse is Punta-Xarraca-Ibiza (Ibiza) , a beach and reef setup that’s exposed to the swell. It’s an inconsistent break, so we’re not expecting much. The water is way warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 84°.
Thursday morning (6th) you’ve got a tiny 1 ft swell from the NNE, with a period of only 5 seconds. That’s short and weak, with combined wave energy of just (5). It’s pretty poor, but the wind is dead calm – glassy conditions. That’s about the only thing going for it. The afternoon goes even smaller, down to less than 1 ft, with a cross-offshore breeze. Not worth a paddle.
Friday morning (7th) is a repeat: 1 ft, NNE, 6 seconds, energy (6), and glassy again. Still poor surf. The afternoon drops to less than 1 ft.
Saturday (8th) has a tiny less than 1 ft swell in the morning with a light offshore wind (S), but it’s just too small. Afternoon wind picks up but stays cross-off.
From Sunday (9th) all the way through to Tuesday morning (18th August), there’s basically nothing. The swell charts show zeros, and the wave comment is “poor surf conditions” across the board. That’s a solid stretch of flatness. Winds are light to moderate, but without any swell, it’s just a lake. The brief exception is a tiny less than 1 ft from the N on the morning of the 16th, but with a period of 7 seconds, it’s not enough to get excited about.
Then, on Wednesday morning (19th August), we get a tiny pulse back: 1 ft from the NNE, period of 4 seconds, energy (4). It’s glassy, and the wind is calm. But it’s a short-period, weak swell, and the break is inconsistent. Not a stand-out by any means.
After that, it’s back to nothing from the 20th to the 21st.
Honestly, if you’re looking for a true wave, you’re out of luck. This is a blank run for the area. The only time you might get a little knee-high wobble is on the mornings of the 6th, 7th, and 19th, but only if you’re desperate and the glassy conditions are your only friend. The setup here is more of a kite-surfing breeze when the wind picks up than a paddle-surfing session.
Keep an eye on the forecast, but for now, it’s a long wait.
