The Lowdown
Righteo, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Ibiza's Cala Nova over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, I'm gonna be straight with you – this isn't looking like a classic summer swell window for Cala Nova. The vibe is pretty flat and clean for most of the run, but there's a flicker of life right at the very end that might get the heart rate up a little. The water is absolutely balmy, a full 5° warmer than usual at 84°, which is very unusual for the time of year.
The first week and a half is a write-off for any real surf. From Friday, August 7th, right through to about Wednesday, August 20th, we're looking at tiny, weak dribble. Swell heights barely nudge past 3ft on the 9th, but with short, weak periods around 5-6 seconds and cross-onshore winds, those waves will be all chop and no power. The combined energy barely gets into double digits, topping out at a weak 66 (moderate energy). Clean, glassy mornings on the 14th and 15th are a tease – flat as a tack with 0.7ft to 1ft of nothing. There's a gap of almost two weeks with no real surf recommendations.
Now, things get a *little* more interesting as we head toward Thursday, August 20th. The morning sees a clean 1ft swell from the SSW, with a light cross-offshore wind. The combined energy is still low at 10, but that clean window is a positive. The afternoon picks up slightly, with a 1ft swell from the SSW and a 6-second period, pushing the energy to 16. Still small, but glassy and clean.
The standout window, if you can call it that, is Friday the 21st. We get a 2ft swell from the SSW with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy bumps up to 26 (moderate energy). However, the wind is howling from the ENE at 16 mph, creating a messy cross-shore chop. It's not the cleanest, but it's the most energy we've seen all period. For a beach and reef setup like Cala Nova, this could offer a few punchier ones for the dedicated crew, but it'll be a battle.
Honestly, this whole stretch is more of a kite-surfing scenario if the wind picks up than a paddle-surfing one. The consistent cross-onshore and onshore winds with small, weak swells just don't set up for clean waves.
The last few days, the 22nd, show a little more consistency with 2ft to 2ft swells from the E, but it's still cross-onshore and choppy. Not a standout.
So, there you have it. A whole lot of flat calm with a tiny, windy blip of energy on the 21st. If you've got a kite, you might have a laugh. If you're looking to paddle, you might want to check the forecast again later.
Rusty.
