The Lowdown
Right, folks, it’s your local beach reporter Rusty. Let me be straight with you – if you’re looking to paddle out at Cala Nova (Ibiza - Cala Nova) over the next couple of weeks, you’re gonna need a lot of patience and very low expectations. This is going to be a tough run. The water temp is sitting at a very unusual 82° – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit, but the ocean is basically flat or offering tiny, weak waves most days.
The first real chance to get wet won't be until Thursday the 17th of September in the morning. We've got a small pulse of 2ft swell from the east, with a short period of 4 seconds. The wind is a cross-offshore from the NNE at 16 mph, which keeps it clean. Combined wave energy is a weak 13 (low energy). It’s surfable for a beginner, but don't expect any power. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-shore breeze.
Saturday the 19th of September morning sees a slight bump: 3ft from the ESE, 6-second period, and light cross-onshore wind from the ENE at 6 mph. The energy creeps up to 54 (still weak). It’s a bit choppy but you might find a crumbly little wave if you’re desperate. Sunday the 20th morning is cleaner with a cross-offshore NNE breeze at 6 mph and 2ft from the ESE (5-second period, energy 25). Again, tiny and weak.
After that, it all drops away again. We see a few days with zero surf from Monday the 22nd through to Thursday the 24th of September, when a tiny 0.3ft swell from the NE with a 10-second period shows up – but that’s not enough to ride. The rest of the forecast is completely flat until the very end: Sunday the 27th of September morning brings 1ft from the SE with a 3-second period and clean cross-offshore wind from the north at 3 mph (energy a measly 3). Basically a lake with a ripple.
There is no standout in this whole 16-day window. The best you could say is the early morning of Saturday the 19th of September offers the biggest, most consistent wave of the period, and even that is just a 3ft close-out mushburger. Honestly, with so little swell and mostly onshore or choppy conditions for the rest of the time, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There just isn’t enough push or quality to get excited about. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long, flat spell.
