The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've taken a good hard look at what's on the cards for Cala Nova (Ibiza). I'll be straight with you - the 16-day window from the 21st of August through to the 5th of September is a flat spell. There is absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. The finder shows a string of "poor surf conditions" right the way through, and the scores are zero across the board. The combined swell energy is weak, never even cracking the 100 mark (the highest is a paltry 97 early on), and the wave heights barely get over 3 feet at best.
The dominant theme is small, weak windswell with short periods - mostly between 4 and 7 seconds - which just won't push any rideable faces. The wind is all over the place, mostly cross or cross-onshore, which just makes a mess of the tiny, weak swell that does manage to show up. There are a few windows of cleaner, cross-off conditions, like on the morning of the 22nd of August or the 24th of August, but the swell is so small and short-period it's a non-event.
This is a tough run for the area. If there's any consolation, it's that times like these tend not to last forever, and the forecasts can always flip. For now, your boards are safe on the rack.
Rusty.
