The Lowdown

Right then, let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, mate, it's a bit of a quiet spell. The forecast window kicks off with a whole lot of nothing, so we're looking at a solid stretch of days with no real surf to speak of. The first sign of any life doesn't show up until Friday the 21st of August, and even then, it's not much to write home about.

The only spot on the radar is Cala-Nova (Ibiza). It's a beach and reef setup, exposed to the swell, which is a good thing, but the energy is just not there. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so at least that's one thing you won't have to complain about.

For the first week, up until the 20th, the combined energy of all swells directed here is a pitiful 0-7. We're talking flat spells, tiny windswell, and onshore or cross-onshore winds ruining what little bump there is. It's a write-off for a paddle board.

Friday the 21st of August is the first real glimmer. We get a tiny 3ft of swell from the ESE, with a period of 6 seconds, and the energy finally bumps up to 39. The morning sees a light WSW cross-offshore breeze, which will keep it clean. It's tiny, for beginners really, but it's the best we've seen. Saturday the 22nd of August afternoon shows a 3ft swell from the East, but the wind swings to a moderate S cross-on, making it choppy. The energy is 56, but the quality won't be there.

The second week stays pretty grim. Small, inconsistent swells, hardly any energy, and wind that's mostly onshore or cross-shore. The only thing that stands out is the morning of Thursday the 27th of August. We get a 3ft swell from the SE, period of 5 seconds, and the energy is 42. The wind goes glassy, so it'll be smooth as silk on the surface. For a tiny wave, it'll be the most fun you'll have all week.

The bottom line is there's no proper swell on the horizon. The best of a bad bunch is that Friday the 21st of August morning, with clean conditions and the first hint of real energy. The Thursday the 27th of August glass-off is also a good bet for a small, clean session. But don't expect anything with any push or power.
