The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the charts for Ibiza – Cala Nova, and I gotta be straight with you, mate. It’s a tough stretch ahead.
The water here is sitting at a balmy 83°F right now, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s firing.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, from now through to the 23rd of September, there’s honestly nothing that gets the heart pumping. We’ve got a long gap of flat, poor, or just junky conditions. The first few days are a write-off. Tuesday (the 8th) and Wednesday (the 9th) show tiny, weak swell—like 1ft to 3ft—with periods under 8 seconds, and winds that are mostly cross or onshore, so the wave quality is just not there. The combined energy is barely registering, often in single digits or low 30s.
We see a bit of a glimmer on Sunday the 13th morning, where it goes glassy with a 2ft SE swell, but the period is short at 5 seconds and the energy is weak (15). It’s just not enough to get excited about.
Things stay small and mostly messy right through the next week. There’s a period from the 15th to the 17th where it’s almost flat, with swell heights under 1ft and no energy to speak of. The wind does turn offshore from the NW and NNE on a few mornings, like the 14th and 17th, but there’s literally nothing to surf.
Towards the very end, on the 22nd and 23rd of September, we get some strong offshore winds from the NNW—28 mph on the Tuesday morning—which will blow the surface clean, but the swell is still only 2ft to 2ft with a short period. The energy picks up a little to 50 on the 23rd afternoon, but that’s still weak. It’s going to be clean but tiny and hard work.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, there isn’t a single standout session. The swell never gets over 3ft, the period is always short, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross. This stretch is a real dud for Cala Nova. With the beach and reef setup and the onshore winds, it’d actually be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddler on a few of those afternoons.
Keep the board waxed, but don’t rush to the water. Forecasts can change, but right now, patience is the name of the game.
