The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days are a tough watch for Ibiza’s Cala Nova. This is a classic case of the ocean taking a nap, and there’s just nothing to get excited about. We’re looking at a solid block of poor surf conditions right through to the end of the forecast period, with no standout days to speak of.
The pattern starts now, on the 7th of August, with a flat, glassy morning, but that’s just a tease. The swell barely gets a pulse. The 9th and 10th see the biggest bump of the whole run, with a weak 2ft to 3ft swell from the SE, but it’s all cross-onshore wind, making it choppy and messy. The combined energy barely hits 27–42 (moderate), so it’s just weak, sloppy lines. The wind never really cooperates, spoiling any chance of clean faces.
The 14th of August morning offers a brief moment of calm with glassy conditions, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft from the ESE with a short period of 4 seconds. That’s not surfable. It’s a ghost town.
The long-range stuff, like the 22nd of August, shows a slight increase in energy to 60 (moderate), with a 3ft SE swell, but again, the wind is cross-shore, keeping it poor. By the 20th, the swell completely vanishes.
Look, there’s a reason this spot is rated beginner-level and scores zero across the board. The water temp is about average for the time of year, but that doesn’t help when there’s no wave. For the whole 16-day window, there is not a single surfable wave on offer. It’s a total flat spell. If you’re looking for paddle surfing, you’re out of luck. The whole setup is a kite surfer’s dream right now, but for us, it’s just a long wait for the ocean to wake up.
Rusty.
