Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
Honestly, if you’re looking for a proper surf session, you’re gonna be waiting a while. This stretch is a long, flat run. The first week and a half is borderline hopeless. From July 7th right through to about July 20th, we’re looking at tiny, weak dribble – most days showing swell under 2ft with combined energy readings barely cracking 20 (that’s weak, barely a ripple). Water temp on the 7th is sitting at a balmy 81°F, which is a whopping 6°F warmer than normal – that’s very unusual, feels more like bathwater than the Med.
The only real window to keep an eye on, and I mean the only one that’s even worth mentioning, is around July 20th and the morning of July 21st. The Monday morning (20th) at Cala-Nova sees a clean little pulse. Swell from the SW at 2ft, period around 4 seconds (short period windswell). The wind is light and off the WSW, so it’ll be glassy clean. Combined energy reading is 9 – still weak – but at least it’ll be rideable for absolute beginners on a foamie. By Monday afternoon, it holds together but shifts to a NE direction, still clean, with a bit more energy at 14. The wind stays light and clean through to Tuesday morning (21st) but that’s where the quality gets trashed. By Tuesday afternoon the wind builds to 19 mph from the east and it’s lumpy onshore – that’s kite-surfing territory, not paddling.
Bottom line: this is a beginner’s dribble period. Nothing stands out as proper surf. The combo of tiny swell, warmth, and light wind on the 20th morning is the pick of a grim bunch – but don’t expect a wave with any push.
Rusty.
