Ibiza Watersports

Water temperatures range from 18º C in May to 26º in August making the island ideal for all sorts of watersports, including waterskiing, jet skiing, sailing, windsurfing, parasailing, banana boat or even a relaxing pedalo.

Most of the larger beaches have kiosks where you can rent pedaloes and have a go on a banana boat. There are several sailing schools around the island (Playa d'en Bossa, Las Salinas, San Antonio, Cala Martina, Cala Pada) offering Catamaran hire and occasional windsurf hire (you will probably need a licence). There are also several beaches offering waterskiing and jet skiing (San Antonio Bay, Cala Bassa, Playa d'en Bossa, Santa Eulalia) and parasailing. More information can be found in our beaches section.

Windsurfing and Kite Surfing

Kite surfing is fast overtaking windsurfing among the island's surfers.

In the high season, there is rarely enough wind for planing conditions (but easily enough for beginners).

In early and late summer, the South wind (Sirocco) can pick up to a good force 4 once a week, and the West wind (Mistral) sometimes comes howling in at force 6.

The most popular beaches are Cala Martina (Es Caná), Playa Pinet (San Antonio Bay) and Playa d'en Bossa.

Of these, Cala Martina is the easiest to surf with plenty of flat and shallow water.

Playa d'en Bossa is all sand, but choppy when the South wind blows directly onshore.

Pinet Playa (between the San Antonio harbour wall and the other side of the bay) is for the more advanced surfer, and is trickier to get in and out, but offers wave-riding with cross-onshore wind for experts when the West wind blows strong. A shorty will be enough in the high season months of July, August and September (also gives good protection from the sun). For earlier and later months, as well as winter, think about taking a longer wetsuit, especially for the legs.

Surfing

Surfing on Ibiza is a well-kept secret. Unless you are here for at least two weeks during the winter months, you will rarely catch any swell - so best leave the board at home. In winter, particularly from October to December, waves roll in quite regularly at Aguas Blancas, Cala Nova or Cala Jondal, depending on swell direction.
