The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get real about the next couple of weeks around here.
First off, I gotta be straight with you: the surf outlook for Ibiza - Cala Nova (Ibiza) is pretty grim for the next 16 days. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, weak, or just plain messy conditions. There’s no standout period worth paddling out for. The whole 16-day window is one big gap of low-quality surf. The first few days are running on fumes, with tiny 1 ft swell from the southeast at a short 4-second period and combined wave energy barely hitting 2. That’s basically nothing. The water is sitting at a very warm 84°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – stays warm on you.
Here’s the rundown: pretty much every morning from the 2nd of August through to the 5th offers tiny swell (0.7 ft to 1 ft) with glassy or light wind, but the energy is too low to ride. Afternoons turn cross-onshore or onshore. Swell kicks up a touch on the 8th of August (Saturday) to 2 ft–2 ft from the SE, period at 5 seconds, and the combined energy reaches 23 – still weak. Winds are onshore or cross-onshore, so it’ll be choppy. That’s your best chance, and it’s still poor.
Later on the 10th (Monday morning) there’s a 3 ft swell from the ENE with a 4-second period; combined energy at 39. That afternoon the energy jumps to 106 (moderate), but the direction swings to the east with a 5-second period and cross-onshore winds at 9 mph. It’s going to be lumpy and messy. Not good for a paddle board – honestly, with the wind and weak, short-period stuff, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
From the 11th right through to the 17th of August, it’s back to tiny waves (0.3 ft to 2 ft), short periods, and mostly onshore or cross-onshore breezes. There’s a glassy morning on the 13th and 15th, but the swell is barely there.
Honestly, this is one of those blank runs where the area just isn’t producing. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing worth chasing.
