The Lowdown
Alright crew, let’s size this up. It’s a quiet run ahead, no two ways about it. The forecast shows a proper dry spell, with long gaps of nothing doing. Don’t be holding your breath for any magic.
The only break worth a mention is Cala-Nova (Ibiza, Spain) . The first glimpse of something surfable is Thursday morning, 20th August. We’re looking at a small 3ft swell from the SW, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s not got much grunt. The combined wave energy is weak at 76. The wind is a light offshore from the WNW at 6 mph, which will keep things clean for a gentle, beginner-friendly paddle. The water temp is about normal for the season, so a spring suit will do.
After that Thursday morning, it’s a long, flat stretch. From Thursday afternoon all the way through to the end of the 16 days, it’s poor. Most days the swell is tiny, under 2ft, and the wind is often onshore or cross-shore, making a mess of things. The combined energy rarely gets above 30. There’s a brief flicker on Friday afternoon, 28th August, with a 3ft NE swell and clean cross-offshore breeze, but it’s still a short period and looks very ordinary. Nothing to get excited about.
If you’re desperate, Thursday morning, 20th August at Cala-Nova is your best bet. It’s small, clean, and easy. Otherwise, keep the board waxed tight and wait for a better run.
