Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's take a good, hard look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up for Ibiza's Cala Nova.
To be straight up with you, it’s a grim outlook. The entire 16-day forecast window is basically one long, flat spell. There is no surf to get excited about. The wave energy never gets above a paltry 56 (weak) on the 20th of July, and most days it’s down in the single digits or even zero. That’s just the way it goes here sometimes; the place can shut down for weeks on end. The prevailing pattern is tiny, weak, short-period windswell from the southeast or east, which is the complete opposite of what the spot needs to come alive. The swell heights rarely push past 1ft to 2ft, and those come with periods all under 6 seconds, so there’s no grunt to them.
Early on, from July 13th through the 19th, it’s almost entirely flat or ankle-high slop with onshore or cross-shore breezes. There are a couple of clean-looking windows like the morning of the 15th with a light cross-offshore wind, but there’s simply no swell to clean up. After the 19th, there’s a slight tease on July 20th, with a small bump of 3ft from the east-northeast in the afternoon, but it’s weak energy (56) and the wind goes light cross-onshore quickly. Then on the morning of the 21st, you get offshore winds from the north-northwest and a tiny 2ft swell, but the overall energy is still too low to do anything. The rest of the week is back to tiny, weak leftovers.
The most promising, but still poor, conditions fall on the morning of July 25th: a modest 2.5ft swell from the southeast (6-second period) with clean conditions as an onshore wind hits. The wave energy is only 36 (weak), so it’s a long shot. For a south-east swell at a spot that needs south-east swell, it might offer the only semi-rideable tiny waves of the entire period, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Honestly, this whole 16-day stretch looks more suited for a paddleboard or a complete rest day. No standouts here, folks.
