The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what we've got cooking for Ibiza's Cala Nova.
Honestly, mate, it's a bit of a flat spell we're looking at. The forecast doesn't give us anything to get excited about for the next 16 days. There's a gap right at the start with no surf on offer, and honestly, that empty feeling hangs around for most of the run. We see a little bump of energy around Wednesday the 9th of September, but the wind is just filthy – a fresh cross-onshore breeze at 22 mph whipping it up, making it lumpy and ugly. The combined swell energy only hits 86 (weak), so it's not even worth paddling out for that mess.
The best chance we see, and I'm using the term 'best' loosely, comes on Wednesday the 16th of September. Even then, it's tiny, with a 1 ft swell from the SE. The kicker is the wind swings offshore from the NW at 16 mph in the afternoon. That'll clean it right up. It'll be ridable on a longboard or a foamie, but it's definitely a beginner-only zone. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting around 82°.
Bottom line: there isn't a single standout session in this window. The swell is just not there. It’s one of those periods where you’d be better off checking the forecast for the following week.
Stay patient,
Rusty.
