The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a tough one. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing really worth getting excited about.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, the first real surfable energy doesn't show up until the 18th of August, and even then it’s a bit of a mess. The first week and a half is basically a write-off, with a lot of flat days and tiny, weak windswell that just won’t deliver. The 18th is the only day that might get you out of bed, but it comes with a major caveat.
Punta-Xarraca-Ibiza (Ibiza) is the only spot in the game. This is an inconsistent beach and reef setup, so a blank run like this isn't entirely unusual for the area. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit.
Now, the one chance you get is on the morning of Monday, the 18th of August. A bit of swell finally pushes in – we’re looking at 4 ft from the ENE, but the period is only 5 seconds, so it’s short-period windswell, not a proper groundswell. The combined wave energy is weak (73), so don't expect much power. The wind is howling onshore from the north at 12 mph, which is going to mess up the surface. The wave comment says "poor surf conditions," and that’s the truth. For a beginner, 4 ft might be a bit much with that wind, and for everyone else, it’s going to be choppy and hard to enjoy. This setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The rest of the forecast? Nothing. Zero. Flatter than a pancake from the 3rd all the way through the 17th. There are a few glassy mornings, like the 4th and 5th, but with no swell, you’re just looking at a mirror. It’s a long dry spell, but in this area, it happens. Keep your eyes peeled for a change in the forecasts.
Rusty.
