The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. For the entire 16-day window, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. The water is a scorching 84°F at the start, which is a good 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so it feels like bathwater, but that’s about the only excitement. The swell is almost non-existent, with tiny waves and weak energy levels. From Saturday the 8th right through to the 23rd, the forecast is just full of "poor surf conditions."
The first several days, from the 8th to the 19th of August, are a write-off. The combined energy barely gets into double digits, and when it does, it’s still weak. For example, on the 21st of August, we finally see a bit of a pulse – a 4ft swell from the ENE with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy hits 157. That’s the strongest we get, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore, making it lumpy and messy. It’s not worth paddling out for. That kind of setup with a beach-and-reef break like Cala-Nova (Ibiza) is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There’s a gap of several days with no real options. The only time the wind goes glassy is on the 14th and 15th, but the swell is only 0.7ft, so you’re just floating. On the 18th, we get glassy conditions again, but again, no swell.
Bottom line: there are no good surf options here. The swell is too small, the wind is often onshore or cross-on, and the consistency is terrible. For this area, a blank run like this is pretty normal. It tends not to stay poor for long, but for now, leave the board at home.
