Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ibiza - Cala Nova over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here again for the imperial version. Let's break down what's happening at Cala Nova.
It’s looking like a quiet stretch ahead. The pattern is mostly flat, with a long run of days where there’s just no surf energy to speak of. Many of these sessions are either too small, blown out, or both. It’s a waiting game.
Starting off on Friday the 10th, it’s a total bust. Zippo for swell, just a light south breeze making a mess. Saturday the 11th starts cleaner with a light north breeze, but the swell is tiny – a mere 0.7ft from the SSW with a short period of 6 seconds. Almost no energy (6). Not worth it. Over the next few days we see a slight bump, but nothing cleans up. A 2ft to 3ft east swell shows up from Sunday the 12th into Monday the 13th, but it’s short-period junk at 4-5 seconds and the wind is choppy.
We get a few cleaner windows on Tuesday morning the 14th and Wednesday morning the 15th with a light offshore wind, but the swell drops back to 1ft to 2ft. Just not enough push.
The only time we see a bit more size is Sunday the 19th. The morning has a 4ft swell from the ENE with a light cross-shore breeze, moderate energy (66). The afternoon bumps up to 5ft from the east with a period of 6 seconds, giving us a moderate energy of 160. But it’s onshore and choppy. The size is there for a beginner, but the quality is poor. That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
After that, it fades. There’s a gap of a few days with tiny swell and onshore winds. The only bright spot is Thursday morning the 23rd, with 1ft of southeast swell under glassy conditions (0 km/h wind). It’s tiny, but it’s clean if you want a lonely paddle on a longboard.
The standout, if you can call it that, is Sunday the 19th afternoon if you just want to get wet on some 5ft waves, but don't expect quality. Water temp is about average for the season.
Keep the board in the car for a clean-up, but don’t get your hopes up.
Rusty.
