The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – what we’ve got for the next two weeks is a whole lot of waiting. This is one of those stretches where Ibiza's east side just isn’t getting the love it needs from the ocean. We’re looking at Cala Nova, and honestly, for the first week and a half, the surf is mostly a no-show or flat out messy.
The story from now through to Sunday, August 18th is dominated by tiny, weak energy. Most days you’ll see swell heights under 2ft with periods of only 4 to 5 seconds – that’s just wind chop, not proper swell. The combined energy is nearly always below 100 (weak), and the forecast scores are a big fat zero. There are some glassy mornings on Tuesday the 11th and Friday the 14th, but with only 1ft and 0.7ft of swell, it’s just a flat, pretty sea. Not worth paddling out.
We do finally see a shift in the wind later in the second week. Wednesday the 19th brings a moderate offshore wind from the NW, which cleans things right up, but the swell is still tiny at 1ft with a weak energy reading of just 8. It’s clean but unsurfable.
The only real flicker of hope arrives late in the outlook. Check out Monday the 24th of August. The morning shows the swell pushing up to 4ft from the east, with the energy finally hitting a solid 63 (moderate). By the afternoon it jumps to a proper 5ft from the east, with combined energy of 184 (moderate) and a period of 6 seconds. That’s the most size and push we see all forecast. But the wind is cross-onshore and then onshore, so it’ll be lumpy and poor quality. It’s the biggest surf, but not clean surf. For experienced surfers, Monday the 24th might offer something to ride, but don’t expect any sort of shine.
Right now, there just isn't a standout session in this 16-day window for Cala Nova. It’s a long, dry spell typical for the area this time of year when the swell direction isn’t cooperating. Keep an eye on forecasts – they can change – but for now, leave the board in the car.
Rusty.
