The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Ibiza - Cala Nova has in store for us. I gotta be straight with you, looking at this 16-day window, it's about as quiet as a Monday morning. We've got a run of surf that's just not happening, so don't rush to grab your board just yet.
Right from now, Saturday the 22nd, it's a no-go. The water is *much warmer than normal* at 85° – feels like a bath, but the waves are tiny at 3ft from the NE with a weak 6-second period. That combined energy is only 64, so there's no punch. Add in a 15 mph cross-on wind, and you've got choppy, poor surf. Honestly, for the rest of August and into the first few days of September, it's the same sad story. Day after day, the swell is negligible – mostly under 2ft – with short periods (4-6 seconds) and weak energy readings mostly in the teens or twenties. There are a few moments where the wind goes clean or glassy, like Tuesday afternoon the 25th with a glassy 2ft from the east, but the swell is just too weak to care about. There's a long, flat gap here with nothing to recommend.
Now, we do finally see a tiny blip of hope on Tuesday the 2nd of September. Wednesday morning the 3rd is your best shot. The morning of the 3rd brings an offshore wind from the NW at 9 mph. That'll groom the 1ft swell from the ESE. It's small, but it's clean. The combined energy is only 8, so it's for a longboard or a funboard. This is the closest thing to a standout in this whole period, but it's a real small-wave cruiser session. The rest of the forecast fizzles out into flatness again.
So, for the next two and a half weeks, Cala Nova is more of a tanning spot than a surf spot. The conditions are consistently poor, the swell is tiny, and there's just no power behind it. This blank run is pretty normal for the area at this time of year. Keep an eye on it, though – forecasts can change.
Rusty, signing off.
