The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks for the island are looking pretty grim. Don't get your hopes up for any decent waves for a while.
We're looking at a long, dry spell starting now. There's nothing on the cards for the first week and a half, with days of flat, clean conditions but zero swell. The best we can say is the water here is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real flicker of life doesn't show up until Monday, August 17th, in the afternoon. Son Serra Nova (Mallorca) might see a tiny pulse of swell, but it's barely a whisper – just 2 ft from the NNE with a weak 5-second period. The combined energy of that is only 22 – barely a ripple. The wind is glassy, which is a positive, but it's not enough to get excited about.
Things get a little more interesting the next day, Tuesday, August 18th. The morning offers a cleaner 3 ft swell from the NNE, with a 6-second period and light offshore wind. The energy is still weak at 77, but it's a step up. The afternoon is the best we're going to see in this whole forecast: the swell builds to 5 ft from the same NNE direction, with a slightly longer 7-second period, and the wind goes glassy again. The combined energy hits 197 – moderate, but still nothing special. It's surfable, but very ordinary.
After that brief window, it turns ugly. Wednesday, August 19th, the wind cranks up to 19 mph from the NE, side-on to the swell, making a mess of things. The swell gets up to 5 ft and the energy jumps to 399, but with that strong cross-onshore wind, it's going to be a choppy, lumpy, blown-out mess. Thursday the 20th is no better, with onshore winds and a lumpy 4 ft swell. Frankly, with that wind and that setup, this place looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, to be honest, there's no standout here. Your best bet, and I'm scraping the barrel here, is the late afternoon of Tuesday, August 18th. It's the only time the stars align even slightly with a little bit of swell and glassy conditions. But it's a rare break that doesn't break often, and even then, it's just ordinary. Don't plan a trip around it.
Rusty, signing off.
