Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s see what these next couple of weeks are looking like.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty quiet stretch for Ibiza - Cala Nova (Spain). We’re staring down a long, drawn-out run of small, weak surf and mostly onshore or cross-shore winds. The first recommendation doesn’t even pop up until Wednesday, July 15th, so you’re looking at a solid nine-day dry spell from now with nothing worth paddling out for.
Right off the bat, the water is sitting at a very warm 80°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – about 6° above average. That’s unusual.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Wednesday morning, July 15th. We’ve got a little push from the ESE at 3ft, with a 6-second period and moderate combined energy (51). The wind is light cross-shore from the NE at 6 mph, keeping things fairly clean with small crossing ripples. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s the best we’ve seen. The afternoon glass off with zero wind is a major positive – that "glassy" condition will make the most of the 3ft swell (49 energy), even though the period is short.
Keep your eyes on Saturday morning, July 18th. That’s your standout window. We’ve got a clean 3ft SE swell, period around 4 seconds, with a light NNE cross-offshore breeze at 9 mph – that’s the cleanest wind of the whole run. The energy is moderate at 21, and the offshore direction will hold the waves up. The break is exposed to the swell, so it’ll pick up what little there is. Crowds are only *sometimes* an issue here, so you might find a bit of space.
For the second week, nothing really steps up. Sunday the 19th keeps the clean cross-offshore wind with 2-3ft from the ESE (13 to 21 energy), but the swell stays small. Monday the 20th sees the biggest number on paper – 4ft from the NE (56 energy) – but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. The period is only 5 seconds, so that’s purely windswell and won’t have much push.
Overall, this is a skinny period for Ibiza - Cala Nova. If you’re itching for a surf, your best bet is the Saturday morning glass-off or the Wednesday glass-off. Otherwise, it’s more of a swimming and sunbathing kind of outlook.
Rusty.
