The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. This is a 16-day window for Ibiza - Cala Nova, and I’m telling you right now, there’s not a single surfable wave on the cards. The whole period is a blank. We’ve got nothing but flat spells and tiny, sloppy lumps that won’t get you to your feet.
The first record shows Wednesday, 5th August, with a measly 0.7ft of swell from the SSW, but the combined energy is just 3 – that’s weak, barely a ripple. The water temperature is sitting at 84°F, which is 5°F warmer than usual – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, but it won’t help the waves. The wind is glassy in the morning, but the swell is so small it’s a non-starter.
From Thursday 6th August through to Thursday 20th August, it’s the same sad story. The swell heights barely reach 3ft, but the periods are short – mostly 3 to 6 seconds, meaning no power or shape. The combined energy stays in the single digits, occasionally hitting 36 on the 9th, but that’s still weak. The wind is often cross-onshore or choppy, and even when it’s glassy, the swell is too small. The 16th and 20th give us some clean offshore and cross-off winds, but with no swell to speak of, it’s just a flat, pretty ocean.
This is a tough run for the area. Cala Nova is a beach and reef setup exposed to swell, but when the Mediterranean goes quiet, it goes quiet. There’s no paddle surfing to be had here. If you’re into kite surfing, the stronger winds on the 9th and 10th might offer something, but for a surfboard? Forget it. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it can’t stay this flat forever.
Rusty.
