The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Ibiza's Cala Nova is a tough one to call. Looking at the next 16 days, the honest truth is there’s not a single standout session worth getting excited about. The data shows a long stretch of poor surf conditions, with the first solid recommendation not making an appearance. We’re looking at a gap of over a week until anything even remotely rideable shows up.
The water temperature is sitting at 82°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be sweating in a shorty if you paddle out.
The first real event that catches my eye is on the morning of Thursday, 10 September. There’s a pulse of swell coming in from the NE at 5 ft, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined wave energy of 337 – that’s a moderate pulse. The wind is blowing cross-on from the E at 12 mph, which will chop it up pretty good. It’s not pristine, but it’s the biggest bump we’ll see. The crowd factor is "sometimes" at Cala Nova, so you might have some company. For a beginner spot, this is pushing the limit at over 5 ft, so it’s steep for learners.
Later in the period, on the morning of Monday, 21 September, we see a cleaner setup. Swell from the NE at 1.0 ft with a 6-second period and a combined energy of 12. The wind is light cross-off from the NNW at 3 mph, which will keep the surface clean. It’s tiny, but it’s the most promising clean window we’ve got. The water temp has dropped a bit, but still feels warm.
That’s about it. The rest of the 16 days are dominated by flat spells, onshore slop, or glassy conditions with no swell. The beach-and-reef setup here is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing when the wind picks up, but for us surfers, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
