The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days around Ibiza’s Cala Nova are looking pretty flat. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much to work with, so let’s get into it.
The whole 16-day window is a real struggle. There’s no surf to speak of for the first week, with only tiny, weak pulses showing up. From Wednesday 2nd September right through to Tuesday 15th, the energy is basically non-existent. We’re looking at combined swell energies mostly in the single digits (1 to 14) – that’s about as weak as it gets. The swell heights barely tickle 2ft, and periods are short, around 4 to 5 seconds, so no real power behind them. The water is a balmy 82°F – that’s about 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year, which is notable, but it doesn’t help the waves.
The one tiny glimmer comes on Wednesday 9th September. The morning shows a bit of life with a 2ft easterly swell, period of 4 seconds, and a light offshore wind from the NW. That’s glassy, clean conditions, but the energy is only 8 – barely a ripple. The afternoon picks up a little, with 2ft from the east, period still 4 seconds, and a cross-offshore breeze, but the wind is howling at 22 mph. It’s clean, but that’s a fresh breeze and the swell is too small and weak to be worth the paddle. The energy tops out at 21, which is still weak. For a beginner beach-and-reef break like Cala Nova, this is a hard pass.
There’s no standout here. Nothing is even close to being worth a session. The entire period is a flat spell. For this area, a blank run like this is more normal than not – the Mediterranean can go quiet for weeks. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it tends not to stay this poor forever, but for now, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.
