The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase. The sixteen-day forecast for Cala Nova (Ibiza - Cala Nova) is a flat spell. We’re talking about a week and a half of barely a ripple. The wave energy is almost non-existent, with the combined energy of all swells sitting in the low single digits (3-14). The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and while there are some glassy mornings, there’s nothing to ride. It’s a real bummer.
The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t arrive until the end of the period. The Saturday morning of the 15th of August had a whisper of 0.3ft from the NE, but it’s gone before you know it.
The one window that stands out is the morning of Tuesday the 19th of August. The wind will be light and offshore from the N, keeping things clean. The swell is still tiny, at 1ft from the SW, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 21 (weak energy). It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the cleanest, most surfable window we’ve got. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
For the rest of the run, it’s a waiting game. The breaks are inconsistent, and the energy is too weak to get excited about. This is a period for the loggers or the kite surfers, as the onshore winds and small, weak swell won’t do much for a standard paddle surfer.
This is Rusty, signing off.
