The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a lean run ahead. The whole 16-day window is a quiet one for Ibiza, so we’re looking at a long stretch of flat to tiny, weak waves with very little energy. We’re talking about a gap of several days with nothing worth paddling out for.
Cala Nova (Ibiza) is the only spot on the radar, and honestly, it’s not doing much. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year. The first few days are a write-off. Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd offer tiny 1ft to 2ft junk from the southeast with weak period around 4 seconds and combined energy readings of just 8 (weak). Onshore and cross-onshore winds mess it up, making for poor surf.
Monday morning the 3rd is a tease – glassy conditions with that light wind, but the swell is only 1ft and weak. It’s clean as a whistle, but there’s almost no wave to ride. That theme of tiny, clean waves continues through the 4th and 5th, but the size just isn’t there to do anything with.
From Thursday the 6th through to Sunday the 9th in the morning, it’s pretty much flat. Zilch. No energy coming in at all. The best of a bad lot arrives on Sunday afternoon the 9th, when a tiny pulse pushes up to 3ft from the east with a period of 4 seconds and combined energy at 22 (still weak), but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, so it’s choppy and messy. Not exactly a standout.
The rest of the second week is more of the same: tiny 1ft to 1ft swells, mostly from the southeast, with onshore or glassy winds. A few glassy moments on the 12th and 13th mornings will look pretty, but there’s no power behind it. The combined energy values stay under 10 for most of it. It’s honestly a better setup for a day on the beach than a surf session. No true standouts here, folks.
Rusty.
