The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a hard look at what’s on the table for Ibiza’s Cala Nova over the next couple of weeks.
Right, I’ll level with you. If you’re chasing proper waves, this forecast is a tough one to swallow. For the first week and a bit, it’s mostly flat or close to it, with next to no energy. We’re looking at a long gap of poor surf conditions with heights barely tickling 1ft. The combined swell energy is often sitting down in the single digits or very low double digits – weak stuff. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at a balmy 83°, which is over 5° above the long-term average. That’s very unusual for July.
The first real flicker of hope shows up on Monday morning, 27th July. We get a tiny bump to 1ft from the ESE, and the combined energy finally climbs to a modest 9 (moderate wave energy). What makes this one stand out a bit is the wind: a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, so the surface should be clean. But don’t get carried away – the period is a paltry 4 seconds, so the waves will be weak and crumbly. It’s a beach and reef setup, exposed to the south-east, which matches that ESE swell.
After that, it drops right back off again into the start of August. There’s a brief, tiny tease on Monday morning, 3rd August with 1ft from the east, 4-second period, and glassy conditions from a light WSW breeze. The combined energy gets back to 5. Again, this is beginner territory at best – the size and period just isn’t there for anything with push.
Honestly, there isn’t a single standout session for a surfer who wants proper waves. If you’ve got a longboard and you’re desperate for a float, those clean windows on the 27th morning or the 3rd morning are your best bets. Otherwise, with the tiny swell and short periods, this stretch looks more interesting for a kite surfer than for paddle surfing – the wind regimes on those afternoons could make for some fun sessions, but not for us on a surfboard.
Overall, it’s a pretty blank run for Cala Nova. This kind of flat spell is pretty normal for the area during the height of summer. Forecasts can always change, but right now, I’d be saving my energy for another day.
Rusty.
