Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ibiza - Cala Nova over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it for Ibiza - Cala Nova. I've gotta be honest with you, this 16-day window is looking pretty flat. There's a big gap right at the start with no surf to speak of.
From Thursday the 9th right through to past the middle of the month, we're seeing nothing but "poor surf conditions" with tiny, weak swells. The combined wave energy is barely registering, often a paltry 1 or 2 (1 to 5), which is about as weak as it gets. For the first several days, you're looking at wind-affected, messy conditions or just nothing at all. It's a tough stretch.
There's a slight pulse of energy around Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th. We see the combined energy bump up to 33 and 32, still only moderate at best. The swell height crawls up to 2ft to 3ft from the east and east-southeast, but the period is short, around 5 to 7 seconds, so it's not going to have any punch. Tuesday morning the 14th looks the cleanest with a light cross-offshore breeze from the north, but the waves will still be tiny and weak.
The best chance of anything rideable, and I'm being generous here, comes on the morning of Wednesday the 22nd. We get a bit of a clean-up with a light cross-offshore wind from the west, and a small 1ft swell from the ESE with a tiny bit of energy (5). The following afternoon, the 22nd, actually sees a moderate offshore wind from the NNW, which is a lovely sign for a clean surface on that 1ft, SE swell (6). It's still small, but it'll be your cleanest window.
Honestly, there isn't a standout day in this forecast. The swell is just too small and weak for any real surfing. For a beach and reef setup that needs a solid push from the southeast to work, we're just not getting it. With the swell so small and mostly onshore or cross-shore winds, this stretch is looking more like a kite-surfing setup for the few days with a bit more breeze than a paddle surfer's dream. Keep an eye on the forecasts, though. It tends not to stay this quiet for long in Ibiza, and things can change.
Rusty.
