Punta Xarraca (Ibiza)

Punta Xarraca is an exposed beach and reef surf spot on Ibiza’s northern coastline, with a small shoreline setup and a rocky/shallow bottom. It’s described as working only infrequently, and in summer it can be typically flat—so plan sessions around the forecasted swell and wind alignment rather than expecting consistent breaks day-to-day. When conditions are right, the spot can deliver high-quality peeling waves, particularly a right-hand reef break. Offshore winds from the south are reported to clean up the swell significantly, and the spot is most favored when a North to North-northwest (or North-northeast) swell pairs with those offshore southerly winds. It can also offer a left-hand reef section as part of the wave options. The technical nature is a key factor for safety: entry is difficult with slippery rocks, sharp reef sections, and sea urchins. Providers emphasize using protective footwear (booties/boots) specifically for the entry, and caution around both rocks and cliffs. Rescue/lifeguard presence is described as absent or not available at the point, so you should assume limited on-site help. For timing, surfing is reported as possible at all tide stages. When swell is clean—especially on the preferred NW/N swell direction—larger Mediterranean swells can be handled, though they become more technical as conditions build. Water temperatures range widely by season, with winter around the low-to-mid teens °C and late summer reaching the high-20s °C, and wetsuit choice should match the season (from thicker winter protection to shorties/rash protection in summer).
