The Lowdown
Howdy, Rusty here. Let me level with you about Cala Nova – this outlook isn't the prettiest. Over the next 16 days, the swell is going to be a ghost town for the most part, with only a couple of very small windows that might get you on a longboard.
The closest we come to a call is Thursday morning, September 12th. It’s a glassy morning, which is about as good as it gets for the conditions we have. The swell is a tiny 0.4m from the SE, with a short 4-second period, and the energy is just about nothing (8). But with the wind dead flat, it will be clean as a mirror. The water is at a balmy 28°, way warmer than average, so no wetsuit needed.
After that, we hit a dry spell where the ocean pretty much takes a nap for a few days. There’s not much to grab onto.
The most promising bump in size arrives on Sunday, September 14th morning, when a 1.0m swell from the SE rolls in with a slightly longer 6-second period and a combined energy of (52). That’s the biggest we’ll see. The wind is a light cross-off from the ENE to start, so it might offer a few clean, punchy little waves for a short while, but that’s as good as it gets. The afternoon gets wrecked by a fresh onshore breeze.
Honestly, it’s a tough outlook for Cala Nova. The wave heights are consistently tiny, the energy is low, and the only decent swell gets hammered by wind. There’s nothing here for a beginner to get excited about, and the occasional bigger day is only for experts who don’t mind lumpy conditions. For a proper surf, you’re out of luck. For a kite session? There might be some wind on the horizon, but for a paddle, this is a long wait.
Keep an eye on the sky,
Rusty
