The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve had a good look at the charts for Cala Nova, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a tough one. The next 16 days are looking pretty flat for us. There’s a real dry spell on the cards, and honestly, I wouldn’t bother paddling out for the first week or so. The water is a balmy 84°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath.
The whole forecast period is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a big gap from the start all the way through to about the 16th of August with nothing worth mentioning. The swell energy is basically non-existent, with combined energy values barely cracking double digits (3 on the 3rd of August morning). We’re talking tiny, wind-affected dribble, not surf.
The only tiny flicker of hope comes around the 16th of August, Sunday afternoon. The swell bumps up to a measly 1 ft from the SW with a period of 7 seconds. Combined energy hits 14, which is still weak. The wind is onshore from the ESE at 9 mph, so it’ll be bumpy. It’s still really poor surf conditions, but it’s the most movement we’ll see. For a beginner spot, that’s just not enough to get excited about.
Honestly, for the next two weeks, leave the board at home. The setup at Cala Nova (Ibiza - Cala Nova) is a beach and reef, so with the poor conditions and wind, it might be worth a look for a kite surfer, but for a paddle surfer, there’s nothing doing. The forecasts can always change, but right now, this is a blank run.
Rusty.
