The Lowdown

Alright, I’m Rusty, and I’m looking at the surf outlook for Cala Nova. To be straight with you, it’s a rough run ahead. Over the next two and a half weeks, the swell is tiny and the energy is weak, so don’t expect much. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t show up until Thursday afternoon, 27 August, and even then it’s small. Let’s break it down.

The overall pattern is flat and frustrating. Swell heights barely touch 2.3ft, periods are short (4 to 7 seconds), and the combined energy is weak, mostly under 100 (16 to 155 in the one moderate spike). The water temperature at Cala Nova (Ibiza) is sitting at 83.1°F, which is much warmer than average for this time of year – a solid 4.5°F above normal. That’s a nice touch, but it won’t make the surf any better.

Starting Thursday afternoon, 27 August, the swell is 2.3ft from the SSW with a 4-second period and only 16 energy. Wind is cross from the SW at 19 mph, making it lumpy and messy. Not worth paddling out. Friday morning, 28 August, drops to 1.6ft, wind is cross-off from the WNW at 16 mph, conditions clean but the swell is tiny and weak. Friday afternoon goes offshore from the NNW at 12 mph, still 1.6ft, period 7 seconds, energy up to 36 – clean but no power.

Saturday, 29 August, the swell drops further to 1.3ft from the east, period 5 seconds, and energy plummets to 12. Saturday morning has light cross-off winds from the north at 6 mph and clean conditions, but it’s too small to surf. Saturday afternoon gets even worse – 1ft from the ESE, onshore, choppy. Sunday, 30 August, is glassy in the morning with NNE winds at 3 mph, but the swell is only 1ft and energy is 4 – it’s a lake. Sunday afternoon turns onshore from the SE at 9 mph, same tiny swell.

Monday, 31 August, starts glassy again with NE winds at 3 mph, 1.3ft swell from the SE, energy 7. It’s clean but small. Monday afternoon goes onshore. Tuesday, 1 September, the swell bumps up to 2.3ft from the ESE/SE, period still 5 seconds, energy around 20-28, but wind is onshore or cross – not good.

Wednesday, 2 September, morning is 2.3ft from the ENE with cross wind, weak. Wednesday afternoon sees the biggest spike of the period: 4.6ft from the ENE, 6-second period, energy jumps to 155 – that’s moderate energy for the first time. But the wind is cross-onshore from the east at 12 mph, making it choppy. For a beach and reef break like Cala Nova, that’s messy. Not a standout.

Thursday, 3 September, drops to 3.6ft from the ENE, energy 59, cross wind, but it’s not clean. After that, it’s back to tiny: from 4 September onward, swell sits between 0.3ft and 1.6ft, periods 3-5 seconds, energy under 15. There are some glassy mornings – 4 September morning, 5 September morning, 7 September morning, and 9 September afternoon – but the swell is laughable. Even on 10 September morning, with 1.6ft from the SE and clean cross-off wind from the NNE, the energy is only 15. Not enough to push a log.

So, what’s the best on offer? Honestly, nothing stands out as good surf. The only time you get any real size is Wednesday afternoon, 2 September, with 4.6ft and moderate energy (155), but the cross-onshore wind ruins it. For a beach and reef setup, that’s more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. If you’re desperate, the glassy mornings with tiny swell could work for a beginner on a foamie, but the crowds at Cala Nova can be around sometimes, so even that might feel crowded for nothing.

Bottom line: it’s a long flat spell. No standout waves in the 16-day window. Hang tight – forecasts can change, but right now it’s a write-off.
