The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's brewing for Ibiza's Cala Nova.
Honestly, it's a pretty quiet picture overall for the next couple of weeks. We're looking at a real run of small, weak surf. There's no good on offer in the immediate window, and the first hint of anything rideable doesn't show until Wednesday the 9th. Even then, it's just a tiny 2ft swell from the SSW with a short period of 4 seconds. The energy is minimal, with the combined reading sitting at just 15, and the cross-offshore wind keeps it clean but it's just not enough to get excited about. The water is sitting at 83°F, which is a very unusual 6° warmer than average for this time of year.
The rest of the first week is a similar story. We see a brief bump on Thursday the 10th with swell hitting 2.5ft from the east, but again, weak period (5 seconds) and cross-onshore winds will chop it up. The combined energy only reaches 33, so there's nothing pushing through. Friday the 11th offers glassy conditions in the morning, but the swell is down to 1ft with barely any energy (3).
The whole stretch from the 12th right through to the 16th of September is a dead loss. Most days show no swell at all or tiny 0.3ft to 1ft waves with no energy to speak of. There are a few windows of clean, glassy or offshore wind, but without any swell, it's a flat spell.
We do see a tiny pulse return on the morning of Wednesday the 18th, with 2ft from the SE (energy of 13), and again on Saturday the 19th, the swell pushes up to 2.5ft from the ESE. This is the peak of the entire forecast, with the combined energy reaching a medium reading of 44 on the Saturday morning. The problem is the wind turns onshore, making it choppy and messy. It's the closest thing to a standout in this run, but it's not a good one for a paddle.
The tail end of the outlook shows a few glassy moments on the 21st and 23rd of September, but the swell is still tiny – 1.5ft at best. For a beach and reef setup like Cala Nova, these conditions are more interesting for a kite than a surfboard. There's just not enough push for a proper session.
