The Lowdown
Hey there, surfers. Rusty here, checking in on the waves for Ibiza's Cala Nova. I've gotta be straight with you – it's a bit of a dry spell we're looking at. The forecast is pretty quiet for the next couple of weeks, so let's talk about what's actually on offer.
Right now, into late August and through the first week of September, it's looking flat. You'll see some tiny bumps here and there, but honestly, it's all showing as poor surf conditions. There's a run of days with nothing worth paddling out for. The water's sitting at a very warm 82°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a real treat if you're just having a swim, but the waves just aren't there.
Now, things get a little more interesting around the 12th of September. That Saturday morning we've got the best pick of the whole outlook. We're looking at a clean, glassy morning with a 4ft swell coming from the ENE. The combined energy is still pretty low at (76), so it's not a powerful swell, but it's the biggest we'll see. The wind is calm, which will make for some clean, smooth faces. This spot is a beach and reef setup, and with that swell size it's going to be fun for everyone, but keep in mind it's not a big, powerful day. For the best of it, you'll want to be out there early that Saturday morning. The wind does get a bit messy in the afternoon, so make the most of the morning session.
The rest of the second week is more of the same – small, weak swells with onshore or cross-shore winds. There's a little window on the 14th of September Monday afternoon where we get a clean, offshore breeze from the NW, but the swell's only 2ft, so it'll be a super small, cruisy session at best.
So, bottom line: if you're desperate for a surf, the morning of the 12th of September is your one standout window at Cala Nova. It's not going to be epic, but it's the only real option on the table. For the rest of the time, the board might as well stay in the bag. Things can change though, so don't write it off completely. Until next time, keep an eye on the horizon.
Rusty.
