The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for Ibiza’s Cala Nova.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is looking flat and messy, with no real swell to speak of. The first recommendation doesn’t even pop up until Sunday the 26th of July, and even then it’s a struggle. We’re looking at a long, flat run with very little to get excited about.
The water is sitting at a very warm 84° – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be sweating in your wetsuit top if you even bother paddling out.
For the opening, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the NE on Sunday afternoon, but with a NNE cross-offshore breeze at 16 mph. The period is a short 5 seconds, so no push. The combined energy is a weak 31 – nothing doing. The surf is just poor.
Through the week, the trend is a bit of a tease. Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th offer up 1ft to 1ft from the ESE and SE, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the period stays short at 4-5 seconds. Energy readings are in the single digits to low teens. It’s just not surfable.
The best on offer, and I’m using that term loosely, comes on Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st of July. We see a tiny bump to 3ft-3ft from the SE, with a 6-second period. The combined energy climbs to a modest 60 on Friday morning, which is the highest we’ll see. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the ENE on Friday morning, making for the cleanest conditions of the whole outlook. But it’s still pretty gutless, with poor surf conditions across the board.
After that, it drops off a cliff. From Saturday the 1st of August right through to Monday the 10th of August, the swell is almost non-existent, often 0.7ft or 1ft, and on some days there’s no swell at all. Wind stays onshore or cross-shore. It’s a write-off.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, the Friday morning session (31st July) is the only window that’s even worth a mention, with the lightest wind and the most energy. But it’s still a beginner-level knee-high dribbler, and crowds are possible at this spot.
For the rest of it, the setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s simply no wave to ride.
Rusty.
