The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, checking the charts for this next stretch.
Well, I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s looking like a tough run for Cala Nova. I’ve scanned the whole 16-day window and there’s just nothing to get excited about. Every single forecast comes back as "poor surf conditions." We’re talking tiny swell, short-period slop, and mostly onshore or cross-onshore breezes. This is a proper dry spell.
Starting now, the inconsistency is the main story. The water is sitting at a very warm 29°, which is notably above the seasonal average, but you won’t care about that when you’re staring at a flat ocean. The first few days show essentially no energy, with wave energy values in the single digits (4, 3, 5). Saturday the 1st offers a glassy 0.3 to 0.4m (1.0 to 1ft) from the SE, but at a weak 4-second period – that’s barely a ripple. The pattern just repeats: Sunday the 2nd, Monday the 3rd, the swell stays between 0.2 and 0.4m (0.7 and 1ft) with poor winds.
There’s a slight, and I mean *slight*, bump in energy around the 9th and 10th of August, with combined energy hitting 18 and 19 (gentle breeze) – but the swell height remains below 0.7m (2ft), and the winds are cross-on or onshore. On Monday morning the 10th, you’ll get a calm, glassy start with 0.5m (2ft) at 4 seconds from the E, but that’s the best of a very bad bunch. Even that is not a recommendation; it’s just the least bad option.
From the 11th onward, it’s back to tiny, short-period leftovers. The energy drops right away again, with most values below 10. The 16th of August sees a clean, glassy 0.2m (0.7ft) wave, but that’s it.
For a beach and reef setup like Cala Nova, this kind of blank run is fairly normal – the area can go dormant for a while. With such small, weak swell, even the cleanest windows aren’t going to give you a rideable wave. Honestly, if you see any wind on these days, the setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle board. There’s no standout break here, no best session. We just wait.
Rusty, signing off.
