The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. For the next 16 days, the surf situation at Ibiza's Cala Nova is pretty grim. There's no real swell to speak of, and the forecast is a long, dry spell of tiny, weak waves that just aren't worth paddling out for. The combined wave energy is minimal, with readings like 0, 1, 3, and 15, barely cracking 100 on the best days, which is considered weak. We're looking at a solid gap of nearly two weeks with nothing to recommend.
The first few days, starting Tuesday the 8th of September, are a total write-off with zero wave energy. By Wednesday the 9th, we get a whisper of swell at 2ft from the SSW, but it's a short period of 4 seconds, delivering very weak energy (15). The wind is cross-off in the morning, so it might look clean, but there's just no power behind it. The rest of that week and into the next one is a sad story of tiny 0.7ft to 2ft waves with periods of 3 to 5 seconds. There are a few glassy moments, like the morning of Friday the 11th and Sunday the 13th, but the swell is so weak it's barely a ripple.
The combined energy finally ticks up a bit around the 21st of September, hitting 36 and 41 on Monday, with a modest 3ft to 3ft swell from the ESE (period 5s). The Tuesday the 22nd of September sees the highest energy in the entire forecast, hitting 100 with a 4ft swell from the ESE. That's still a short period windswell at 6 seconds, and the wind is cross-shore, which will leave it a bit lumpy and unexciting, even for beginners. For a beach and reef setup like Cala Nova, those short periods just don't deliver the goods.
With this kind of weak, wind-affected swell, the setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.
Hang in there, this run of flatness won't last forever, but for now, keep the boards in the car.
Rusty.
