The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. I’ve been through the numbers for Ibiza - Cala Nova, and I’ve got to tell you, it’s a real flat spell. Over the whole sixteen-day outlook, there are no good surf options – it’s all poor conditions.
The first ripple shows up on the morning of Wednesday the 19th of August – a tiny 1ft from the southeast, with a period of 3 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 3, and a cross-shore breeze keeps it ugly. That pretty much sums up the whole run.
We get a few mornings where the wind goes glassy or light offshore, like Saturday the 22nd of August morning and Wednesday the 26th of August morning, but the swell is just a ripple. It never gets above 4ft, and even on the cleanest days, the energy is minuscule – combined swell energy values like 6 or 7 (weak). There’s no power to ride.
It stays small and poor right through to the final entry on Thursday the 3rd of September, which shows a disappointing 2ft from the east-southeast.
If you’re keen on a flat-water float on a log, you might find a tiny clean wave on a glassy morning, but for real surfing, this one’s a write-off. Water is 85°, which is much warmer than usual, so it’s good for a dip.
Rusty.
