The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the cards for Ibiza’s Cala Nova over the next couple of weeks.
Right, straight up – I’ll be honest with you, it’s a quiet picture. The whole sixteen-day window is a real struggle for anything worth paddling out for. We’re looking at a long run of flat to tiny, messy conditions, so don’t get your hopes up for any hero sessions. The first real, rideable pulse of swell doesn’t show until around Thursday the 10th of September, and even then it’s barely a whisper. Before that, from Thursday morning the 27th of August through to Wednesday the 9th of September, it’s mostly ankle-biters and chop. The biggest bump in that stretch is on Wednesday the 2nd of September afternoon, with a weak 4ft swell, but the wind is a messy cross-onshore, so it’s not going to be clean. That’s over a week of lean pickings.
Now, if we look at the energy in the water, it’s pretty pathetic. For most days, the combined energy is under 100 (weak), with a brief nudge to 77 on that Wednesday afternoon, but that’s still weak energy. It’s just not moving.
The one little bright spot – and I mean *little* – lands on Thursday the 10th of September. Early morning we get a WNW offshore wind at 12 mph blowing across the Cala Nova (Ibiza) beach-and-reef setup. The swell is still tiny at 2ft from the SE, with a short period of 4 seconds, so it’s lumpy and weak. But with a clean “moderate offshore” wind, it might just be rideable for a beginner on a foamie. The SE direction is not far off the optimum swell direction from the SE. Water temp is sitting at a balmy 83°F – that’s much warmer than normal for the time of year by about 5°, so you’ll be in trunks for sure, but the waves just aren’t there to match.
That’s about it. There’s no standout session. The 10th is the pick of a very poor bunch, purely because of the clean wind. It’s a tough forecast. Keep an eye on it though – forecasts change, and it tends not to stay this flat forever.
Rusty.
