The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
Honestly, if you’re looking to paddle out at Cala Nova (Ibiza) over the next 16 days, you’re gonna be waiting a long time. The surf is tiny and weak for the entire first week and a half. There’s no real swell energy to speak of, with the combined energy readings barely reaching double digits (max 14) until the very end of the period. It’s mostly flat, bumpy, or blown out. The wind is a mixed bag, but even when it’s glassy, there’s nothing to ride.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Monday, July 27th. We finally see a pulse of chest-high swell, around 3ft, coming from the southeast with a 6-second period. The combined energy jumps to 64 – still moderate, but it’s the most we’ve seen. The wind is light and cross-shore in the morning, so the sets might be a little bumpy but rideable for a beginner. It’s not a standout, just the best of a bad run.
The following day, Tuesday, July 28th, is actually the pick of the entire forecast. The morning brings a 3ft swell from the east-southeast, with the energy at 40, and the wind is a light cross-off breeze from the north-northeast. That’s a clean setup. The waves will be small and fun, but with a little shape. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird.
After that, it drops back into the doldrums. The crowd factor at Cala Nova is *sometimes* an issue, but with surf this small, it won’t be a problem – no one’s out.
The long-range stuff into the very end of July and early August shows a few more clean mornings, but the swell stays weak and under 2ft. Honestly, for this area, a blank run like this is pretty normal for summer. The forecasts can always change, but right now, keep your board in the car and your expectations low.
Rusty.
