Ibiza - Cala Nova Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Ibiza - Cala Nova in feet and degrees.

Right now, and for most of the next 16 days, the surf is just not cooperating. We’re staring down a long, flat spell with nothing worth talking about for the first part of the window. Most days are showing tiny waves or no waves at all, and the wind is mostly junk.

Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th give us a little 1ft swell out of the southeast, but period is only 5 seconds – that’s just wind slop. Winds are cross or cross-on, so it’s messy. Not worth getting wet for.

Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th have glassy mornings, but the ocean is flat as a pancake. No swell at all. That continues through the 16th. On Thursday the 17th, we get a tiny bump to 1ft to 3ft, but it’s short-period and choppy with cross-onshore wind. Wave energy is only 26 – super weak.

The best chance at something clean, and I say that loosely, is the morning of Sunday the 20th. We get glassy conditions with 3ft swell from the southeast at a 6-second period. Energy climbs to 42 – still not great, but the clean surface might give you a few little crumbly waves. Crowds can show up here sometimes, so expect a few others in the lineup.

For pure size, the afternoon of Monday the 21st has the most push: 5ft from the ESE, still a short 6-second period, with moderate wave energy of 118. But the wind is a moderate cross-onshore at 12 mph, so it’ll be choppy and bumpy. For a beach-and-reef break, that setup is more interesting for kiteboarding than surfing. Experts only if you go.

After that, it’s back to tiny, weak surf right through the 27th. A few glassy mornings with 1ft to 1ft waves, but no power.

Water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing weird.

So, the real standout? There isn’t one. If you’re desperate, hit the morning of the 20th for the cleanest conditions, or the afternoon of the 21st if you just want the biggest, bumpiest waves. But neither is a classic.

Keep checking back – things can turn around.

Rusty.
