The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough one to call, but here’s the outlook for the next couple of weeks for Cala Nova (Ibiza).
Honestly, the next 16 days are a write-off. There is no real swell on the cards, and what little energy shows up is tiny and often paired with the wrong wind. The water is sitting at a balmy 81°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that doesn’t help the surf.
The first real wave of note won’t show up until Thursday the 30th of July. Even then, it’s not exactly going to fire. We might see a little 4ft swell rolling in from the SE with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak (91), meaning small, weak waves. The wind is forecast to be a light cross-offshore from the NNW in the morning, which would make it clean. It’s surfable, but it's very ordinary and nothing to get excited about. The afternoon chops it up again with onshore wind.
Before that, it’s a desert. From now until the 30th, it's mostly flat or ankle-high dribble with no energy. There are a few glassy mornings here and there, like the morning of the 21st and the 23rd, but with no swell to speak of, it’s a flat spell.
On the 28th, there’s a gusty E wind bringing some lumpy 3ft dribble, but with the wind howling and the period low, it’s messy and more suited to a kite than a surfboard. The 28th of July is the only time we see a bit of push, but it's not worth the paddle.
So, the one and only real mention is the morning of the 30th. Get on it if you’re desperate, but keep expectations in check. Everything else is a flat, blown-out or non-existent.
