The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Cala Nova.

Honestly, for the next 16 days, it’s a pretty quiet stretch. The swell is tiny and the conditions are rarely coming together for a proper surf. The water is a staggering 83°F at the start, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit.

The first week is a real struggle. From Wednesday the 22nd through until the end of July, we’re looking at mostly flat to knee-high slop. The swell heights are stuck between 0.3 ft and 1 ft, with periods all under 8 seconds – that’s just wind chop, not real surf. The combined energy is weak, barely registering in the single digits (2 to 12). There’s a few glassy mornings on the 23rd and 29th, but with no swell to work with, it’s just a flat, pretty ocean. The wind does swing offshore from the NW a couple of times, but it’s pushing on nothing.

There’s a slight pulse of energy as we head into the first few days of August. On the morning of Wednesday the 5th of August, we finally see something surfable: a 4 ft swell from the east, with a 6-second period and moderate combined energy (102). The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNE, so the waves will have some shape. But the quality is still described as ordinary, and the afternoon gets chopped up by onshore wind. It’s the best on offer, but that’s not saying much. For a beginner, 4 ft is right on the edge of too big, so this is more for the longboard or foiling crew.

The standout in this whole 16-day window? That same Wednesday morning, the 5th of August. It’s the only time we crack the 3 ft mark with a clean wind. The swell direction is E, which is close to the optimum SE, so it’s aimed alright for the exposed beach and reef setup. Keep in mind, Cala Nova can get crowded, so expect some company if you go.

After that, it drops back down to tiny, poor surf through the 6th. Overall, it’s a long, flat spell with just one morning that might be worth a paddle.

Rusty.
