The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the outlook for Ibiza’s Cala Nova. Over the next 16 days, we’re looking at a total drought of surfable waves. From Monday the 10th of August right through to the 25th, there’s not a single session worth paddling out for.
The only spot in the mix is Cala Nova (Ibiza), a beach and reef break. The swell stays tiny – 0.7ft to 3ft at best – and the period never gets over 6 seconds. That’s pure windswell, with no power behind it. The combined wave energy is all in the weak range, with numbers like 33, 23, and mostly under 10. Even when the wind goes glassy – mornings on the 13th, 14th, 15th, and the 21st – there’s no swell to clean up.
You get a slight bump on the 20th with 3ft to 3ft from the ESE, but the onshore wind and 5-second period kill any chance of quality. The best of a bad bunch is the morning of the 21st: 3ft from the ESE, 6-second period, glassy calm, and energy up to 45 (still weak). It’s the only window where a beginner on a soft-top might catch something, but don’t kid yourself – it’s still poor.
The swell direction never lines up with the optimum SE, the period stays too short for any real groundswell, and the wind is mostly messy. If you’re determined, the 21st morning is your only real look, but most days here, you’d be better off on a kite than a paddle board.
