The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk surf around Cala Nova in Ibiza.
Truth is, it’s a pretty grim outlook across the full 16 days. There’s a huge dry spell right from the start. From Friday the 17th right through to Wednesday the 29th, it’s mostly ankle-to-knee-high slop with onshore winds and no power – nothing worth paddling out for. The water’s running at 82°F, which is way warmer than it usually is this time of year.
The only real pulse comes late in the window. On Thursday the 30th of July, the morning brings a 5ft swell from the ESE with a 6-second period – that’s short-period, so it’ll be jumbled and lack that deep-water drive. Combined wave energy is moderate at 170. Wind is cross-shore from the ENE at 9 mph – not glassy but not terrible. By the afternoon it bumps to 5ft, period 7 seconds, with cross-onshore wind at 12 mph, making it choppy and messy. At over 5ft, that’s getting too big for beginners, especially with the wind on it. On a beach-and-reef break like this, I’d say this window is more interesting for kite surfers than for paddle surfers.
Friday the 31st of July drops back to 4ft in the morning with a 7-second period and cross-onshore wind at 9 mph – still moderate energy at 145. By the afternoon it’s down to 3ft.
So look, nothing here is going to get your heart racing. If I had to pick one, the morning of Thursday the 30th of July is the least bad, but it’s still not clean. Cala Nova just isn’t firing in this forecast.
Hang tight, mate.
Rusty.
