The Lowdown
Hey everyone, it's Rusty. I'm looking at the forecast for Ibiza, specifically Cala Nova, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a bit of a quiet stretch for the next 16 days. The surf is gonna be minimal, so let's not get our hopes up for anything epic.
Right now, the water is sitting at a warm 82°, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year, so the boardies are definitely the call. But the problem is, there's just no real swell energy to speak of. We're looking at a long period of flatness and tiny, weak waves. The first few days, from the 5th to the 7th, we're talking about swell heights of 0.0ft to 1ft, with periods as low as 4 seconds. That's not surf, that's a lake with a bit of a ripple. The combined energy is a measly 0 or 2 (weak energy), so don't even bother paddling out.
We do see a bit of a pulse on the 15th of September, a Tuesday morning. It's not much, but it's the best we'll see. The swell is forecast to be 2ft from the NE, with a period of 6 seconds. The wind is glassy from the SSW, which is a major positive – it'll be clean. The combined energy is still only 30 (weak energy). It's a beginner-friendly size, but it's inconsistent, so don't expect much.
The following day, Wednesday the 16th, shows a tiny bit more height, with 2ft to 3ft from the ESE, but the period stays short around 4-5 seconds and the wind gets cross-onshore, making it choppy. The energy climbs to 22-32 (still weak energy). Not a good combo.
Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, there's not a single standout day. The best option is that glassy morning on the 15th, but it's for the patient surfer on a longboard or a foiler. It's a blank run for the area, and it tends not to stay this poor for long, so forecasts can change. For now, keep the board in the car, but don't get your wax ready.
Rusty.
