The Lowdown
Right, I’ll be honest with you, mate. The outlook for Ibiza’s Cala Nova is a tough one. We’re looking at a 16-day window that’s almost entirely flat. There’s no swell to speak of and the conditions are pretty poor for paddle surfing. The first real sniff of any energy doesn’t show up until the 9th of September, and even then it’s not great. Let’s get into it.
The first week is a write-off. From the 29th of August right through to the 8th of September, we’re dealing with tiny waves, mostly under 2ft, with short periods and weak energy. The combined swell energy is mostly in the single digits or low teens – that’s barely a ripple. The winds are all over the shop, mostly cross-shore or onshore, and while there are a few glassy mornings, there’s just no wave to ride. It’s a real bummer.
The only standout, and I use the term loosely, is the morning of Wednesday the 9th of September. We’ve got a little bump of NE swell pushing 5ft, which is the biggest we’ll see. The combined energy hits 111 (moderate), so there’s some push. The period is a short 5 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy and wind-swell – not the cleanest. The morning wind is a cross-on from the ENE at 10 km/h, which isn’t ideal, but it’s the only window with any size. It’s a beach and reef setup, so it might offer a couple of corners, but it’s not going to be a classic. For beginners, that 5ft is pushing it a bit.
The second week is pretty much the same story. The 10th of September morning has some 3ft swell with a bit more period (6 seconds), but it’s cross-on again. The rest of the 16 days is just more flat, weak, and messy. The 12th and 13th of September offer some clean, offshore winds, but with only 0.6ft of swell, it’s a lake.
Honestly, if you’re a kiter, the afternoon of the 9th might be worth a look with that cross-on wind and some size, but for a surfer, this is a lean period. The water temp is about average for the time of year. It’s a blank run, which isn’t unusual for this area at this time.
