Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ibiza - Cala Nova over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me be straight with you: the next couple of weeks at Cala Nova are looking pretty grim. The data is telling us there's just no good surf on offer for the entire 16-day outlook. We’re looking at a long, dry spell here.
The first few days are a total write-off. From Sunday 12 July through to Saturday 18 July, we’ve got weak, short-period windswell with barely any energy behind it. The water is a balmy 82°F, which is a massive 6° warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a bath, but the waves are flat. Even the best-looking morning on Tuesday 14 July has glassy conditions but with waves only 1ft, it’s a total non-starter.
We finally see a little bump in energy on Monday 20 July, with the swell pushing up to 5ft from the ESE, but the combined energy is still only in the moderate range and the wind is a messy cross to cross-onshore. The following Tuesday 21 July morning actually has the biggest swell of the period at 6ft from the ESE, and the energy jumps to strong, but it’s still a cross-shore wind with a chop, and the forecast calls it marginal at best. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s not going to have any real shape.
The rest of the week is plagued by onshore and cross-onshore winds, keeping the surf choppy and poor. Even the last day, Monday 27 July, shows a 4ft swell from the SE, but with an onshore wind it’s just another day of poor conditions.
Honestly, for a beach-and-reef setup like Cala Nova, with this much wind and poor wave quality, it’s looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. For the rest of us, it’s a blank run. That’s the nature of this spot sometimes – the forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.
