Table - best surf conditions forecast for Cala Cipolla over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Gotta give it to you straight for Cala Cipolla. It’s a real quiet stretch ahead. Water temp is 26°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s nice for a swim, but for surfing? Barely a thing happening for days.
This Monday the 13th morning, we’ve got a tiny 2-foot easterly swell, but with a weak 4-second period and cross wind. Combined energy is just 14, so it’s a poor setup, no question. That small, short-period swell lingers into Tuesday the 14th, dropping to 2 feet from the SE by the afternoon, with the combined energy falling to just 8. It’s all poor conditions with cross or onshore breezes.
Wednesday the 15th brings a west-southwest swell at only 0.7 feet, with a 5-second period, and combined energy down to 2 or 3. That’s barely a wrinkle on the water. This is less surf and more of a flat spell with wind ripples.
From Thursday the 16th all the way through to Sunday the 26th of July, the data shows absolute flatness – zeros across the board for combined energy. That’s a solid ten-day stretch with no surf to speak of. Nothing to recommend, not even for a log. The wind does go glassy or offshore at times – Friday the 17th morning is glassy, and Sunday the 19th morning is glassy too – but with zero swell, all you get is a mirror.
Right at the end, there’s a whisper of life. On Thursday the 23rd afternoon, a 1-foot west-southwest swell shows up, period of just 2 seconds, combined energy of 1. That’s a wobbly, weak signal, and with a moderate cross-shore chop, it’s still poor. On Sunday the 26th afternoon, a 1-foot SE swell with a 3-second period and combined energy of 2 appears, but again, cross-shore wind and chop. That pattern of tiny, poor surf continues into Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th.
Bottom line: Cala Cipolla is locked into a long flat spell. There is no surf worth paddling out for in this 16-day window. It’s a pond out there. If you want to get wet, grab a mask and fins. Otherwise, sit this one out.
Rusty.

Information about the Cala Cipolla Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Cala Cipolla provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Cala Cipolla can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Cala Cipolla surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Cala Cipolla) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Cala Cipolla may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
