The Lowdown

Alright, grab a seat and let’s talk about what’s happening around here. I’m looking at the only spot on the cards for the next couple of weeks, and if I’m being straight with you, it’s a tough one. The whole 16-day window is basically a quiet stretch for Ibiza - Cala Nova (Spain). This is a beach and reef setup, exposed to the swell, but the wave energy just isn’t showing up. There’s a big gap of nothing to start, and then it’s all pretty small stuff. The water temperature is sitting at 84°F, which is a massive 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year—that’s unusual, even for the Med.

We kick off on Friday morning, July 24th, with a glassy sea but only 0.7ft of swell from the south, period a tiny 3 seconds. The combined energy is just 2, so there’s nothing to ride. That sets the tone: all through the weekend and into the next week, we’re looking at ankle-snappers. Saturday the 25th morning is glassy again with 1ft from the south, but the period is still 4 seconds, energy only 7. It’s not surfable.

Monday the 27th morning has glassy conditions and 1ft from the east, but again, 5-second period and energy of 7—just a lake. The pattern continues day after day. The swell barely crawls above 1ft for most of the first week, and when it does, the wind or direction kills it.

The first real hint of something happens around Saturday, August 1st. We get 2ft to 2ft from the southeast, with periods of 4 to 5 seconds. The energy climbs to 24 in the afternoon, but it’s cross-onshore wind, so it’ll be messy. Still, not worth paddling out for.

Things look a touch better as we get into the second week. August 7th, Friday morning, has a cleaner window: 2ft from the southeast, 5-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE with energy at 29. That’s probably the best of the whole run—small, but clean and glassy. The afternoon holds 2ft from the south-east with a 6-second period and energy up to 31, but the wind swings cross-on again.

August 8th, Saturday morning, we see 2ft from the east-southeast, period 5 seconds, energy 23, but the wind is onshore. Not great.

Honestly, nothing here is a standout. The swell is tiny, the periods are short, and the energy readings are all in the low double digits or single digits. There’s no wave big enough to get excited about, and the long-range stuff stays weak. If you’re desperate for a slide, the cleanest window is that Friday morning, August 7th, with the cross-offshore breeze. But this is a spot where the forecast is more interesting for a paddleboard than a surfboard. It’s a quiet period, but it’s normal for this area—forecasts can change, so don’t give up hope.

Stay wet, stay loose.
