Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve gotta level with you—this is a grim stretch for *Cala-Nova (Ibiza)*. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for anything worth paddling out for. You’re looking at a solid two-week gap with no real surf on offer. The combo of tiny, short-period windswell and shifty or onshore winds means we’re basically stuck with blown-out, knee-high slop.
The best of a very bad bunch shows up on Monday 27th July, the last day of the forecast. There’s a slight bump of energy with a combined swell energy of 118 (moderate), pushing 4ft swell from the ESE, but with a period of just 6 seconds, it’s a weak, windswell. The saving grace is a light, clean cross-offshore breeze from the West, which should clean up the surface. The water temp is about average for the time of year. It’s still "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions"—meaning you’ll scratch out a few grovelly, slopey waves if you’re desperate. Beginners might find it fun, but don’t expect any shape.
Other than that, it’s a desert. A few glassy mornings with tiny 1ft to 2ft swell will look pretty but offer no push. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. For the prize of a small, weak wave you’ll be fighting breeze and chop, so honestly, the beach looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now.
Keep the board waxed, but don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change though.
Rusty.
