The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a proper look at the charts for this stretch of coast.
Honestly, I’ve got to give it to you straight: the next couple of weeks look like a flat spell for Ibiza - Cala Nova. It’s a beach and reef setup that needs a specific SE swell to get going, and we just aren't seeing the right combination.
Looking at the whole sixteen-day run, there’s a long dry gap from now right through until late August, with nothing that’s really rideable. The water is warm, about 85°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that doesn’t help the waves.
We finally get a flicker of life on Thursday, 27th August. That morning, we’ve got a 5ft swell from the SW with a short period of 5 seconds, and a cross-offshore wind from the WSW at 12 mph. It's going to be clean, but it’s pretty weak energy (96) and the direction isn’t really what the break wants. It’ll be small and gutless for a standard paddle board.
The only time the charts show any real punch is on Friday, 4th September. That afternoon, a 6ft NE swell rolls in with a bit more period at 7 seconds, and the wave energy jumps to a moderate 340. But here’s the catch: the wind is blowing onshore from the ESE at 12 mph, turning it into a choppy mess. That kind of size with poor wind and a beach/reef setup starts to look more interesting for a kite than a surfboard.
So there you have it. A long wait for nothing special, and even the bigger pulse looks messy.
Rusty.
