The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's check the local stretch for the next couple of weeks.
I'll be honest, it's looking like a long quiet period. We're looking at a run from August 25th right through to September 9th where the surf is just not happening. It's a big gap with nothing worth paddling out for.
I'm talkin' about Ibiza - Cala Nova. This is a beach and reef spot that needs that SE swell, and we just aren't getting it. The water is a warm 84°F, which feels much warmer than normal for the season, but that's about the only thing going for it. The wave energy is weak, mostly registering in the single digits to low 30s. The swell height is tiny, barely pushing 2 to 3 feet, and the period is short, between 4 and 6 seconds. That's just choppy, wind-blown junk.
There are a few moments of glassy conditions, like the morning of Wednesday the 27th, but there's no swell. Even on days with a cross-offshore wind, like Friday the 28th, the waves are too small to matter.
Honestly, for most of this period, this spot looks more appealing for kite surfing than for paddle surfing. There's just no reliable push.
We see a little blip in energy on the Sunday morning of the 30th, hitting a combined energy of 63 (moderate), but it's still under 3 feet and the period is a weak 6 seconds. It won't be worth it. The same story rolls into September. There's no standout day, no moment to get excited about.
So, the bottom line is a long, flat run. There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. Cala Nova needs a real swell with clean winds, and it's just not happening. Keep the wax in the wrapper and wait for a better forecast.
Rusty out.
