The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's look at what's on the table for Ibiza. I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We're staring down a long stretch of flatness or just tiny, un-rideable slop. There's a little blip in the middle, but you’ll have to be patient.
The first real chance of anything surfable comes on Wednesday, 9th September, but it's a mess. We get a pulse of swell from the NNE pushing 6ft, but the period is a short, weak 7 seconds and the wind is howling onshore at 25 mph. The combined energy is moderate (323), but it's all for nothing. That wind will chop it up into a washing machine. That beach-and-reef setup at Punta-Xarraca-Ibiza will be a total write-off for a paddle – honestly, that looks more like a kite-surfing day than anything for a surfboard.
The next day, Thursday 10th September, is your only real window. The swell drops to 5ft from the NE, still with a short period of 8 seconds, but the energy is still moderate (247). The wind swings around to a light cross-offshore breeze in the afternoon, which will clean things up. It’s not going to be pumping, but you'll find surfable waves. It's just very ordinary. The water is sitting at a very warm 82°, which is a massive 5° warmer than normal for this time of year. That's a real anomaly.
After that, from Friday 11th September onwards, it's a flat spell. The swell drops to nothing, with combined energy values in the single digits. The wind goes glassy and light, but there's nothing to ride. This flat run looks like it will hold through the rest of the month and into the start of the next week. We’re talking about a solid 10 days of no surf on offer. The only thing to report is that the water stays warm and the wind is light, but a glassy flat ocean is just a lake.
So, there you have it. A couple of messy days, one average afternoon, and then a whole lot of nothing. It’s one of those stretches where the forecast can change, but right now, it’s a hard one to get excited about.
Rusty.
