Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ibiza - Cala Nova over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks around here.
Honestly, it's a bit of a tough stretch for paddling. The swells are tiny and the waves are looking pretty weak. We're looking at a long stretch, from the start of the outlook all the way through to the end of the month, with no real surf on offer. There's a gap of about 16 days here with no real recommendations. The energy just isn't there. The combined wave energy is mostly well under 100, with the best reading showing just 39 (moderate energy) on the 13th of July afternoon, but even that's a weak peak.
For the first break, Cala Nova (Ibiza), the water temperature is at 81°F with a big anomaly of 6°F, which is *much warmer* than normal for this time of year. That's a very unusual setup.
The best the forecast has to offer, which is still not great, seems to be around the 13th and 14th of July. On Monday the 13th, we see a little bump with a 3ft swell from the east-northeast, period around 5 seconds. That's a weak, short-period windswell. The wind is a bit messy – cross-onshore in the morning and onshore in the afternoon. Tuesday the 14th is the pick of the whole period, with clear skies and a light cross-offshore breeze from the north-northeast in the morning, which will keep the surface clean. The swell is a similar 3ft from the east-southeast, with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 33 (moderate energy). It's a tiny wave, but for a beginner on a longboard or a foiler, the morning session on the 14th might be the closest you'll get to something rideable. The crowds are "sometimes" there, so you might have company.
Beyond that, the swell fades out. There's a brief moment on the 20th of July with a 2ft swell from the east-southeast and a nice light offshore wind, but again, it's tiny. For the rest of the time, it's basically flat or blown out. A few days in the second week, like the 19th of July, have glassy conditions, but with a swell of just 1.0ft and a period of 3 seconds, it's barely a ripple.
Bottom line: if you're desperate for a paddle, the cleanest conditions and the biggest (still small) swell is on the morning of the 14th of July. Otherwise, this is a blank spell for the area. It's more of a swimming and sunbathing forecast than a surfing one.
Rusty.
