The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be honest with you, looking at the forecast for Ibiza - Cala Nova, it’s a tough stretch. We’ve got a full 16-day window, but honestly, the surf is gonna be a no-show for the entire run. There’s nothing to get excited about, I’m afraid.
Right from the start on Wednesday the 29th of July, we’ve got tiny, weak swell with a combined energy of just 17, and the wind is blowing straight onshore. The water’s sitting at a very warm 84°F, which is much warmer than usual for the time of year by over five degrees – feels more like a bath than the sea. The waves stay small, under 2 feet for days, and the period is short and weak, never getting past 7 seconds. This is pure flat spell territory.
There’s a long gap with no real surf on offer from the start all the way through to the end. Even the glassy mornings, like Sunday the 2nd of August and Monday the 10th of August, are frustrating because the swell is simply too small – we’re talking about 0.7 ft or 1.0 ft with almost no energy. You might paddle out on a Sunday morning with the glassy conditions and a combined energy of only 10, but you’ll just be bobbing around.
Later in the second week, things don’t improve. By the time we hit Thursday the 13th of August, the combined energy drops to zero. It’s dead flat. For a spot like Cala Nova, a blank run like this is pretty normal; it just doesn’t have the exposure to work when the swell is this small and from the wrong directions. This setup looks far more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, if I’m being totally honest.
Stay patient, folks. Sometimes the ocean just takes a nap.
Rusty.
