The Lowdown
Right, gather ‘round.
Honestly, looking at the 16-day window for the Island, there’s not much to get excited about. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, weak, and poor conditions ahead. The first recommendation doesn’t come until Wednesday the 28th of August, and even then, it’s a struggle.
The whole forecast is basically a write-off. The combined swell energy barely ever gets out of double digits, topping out at a paltry 67 (weak) on Tuesday the 1st of September afternoon. For the most part, we’re looking at combined energy values well under 100, which is about as weak as it gets. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Punta Xarraca on Ibiza is our only spot in the game, and it’s a beach and reef setup that’s inconsistent. Usually, that tells you it’s a bit of a dice roll. The optimum swell direction is from the NNE, but most of the tiny bumps we do see are coming from the NE or E, so it’s not even lighting up the right angles.
The best we get is on Wednesday the 28th of August afternoon. A 3ft swell from the north, period of 5 seconds – that’s a short period, windswell, so it’ll be weak and crumbly. It’s also an onshore wind at 12 mph, so it’s gonna be messy. Not worth paddling out for.
For a few days around the 1st and 2nd of September, there are some glassy or offshore windows with clean conditions, but the swell is tiny (0.7ft to 2ft) and short period. It’s barely a ripple.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a splash on the 30th of August, there’s a glassy Sunday morning with 1ft on the nose from the NNE. It will be clean, but it’s barely a knee-high dribble. That’s the closest thing to a standout, but it’s a real long shot.
For the rest of the forecast, we’re looking at a blank run. It’s just not happening. Kite surfers might have a better time with the 19 mph winds on Friday the 28th.
Stay patient. This is one of those blank runs that’s normal for the area. Forecasts change.
