The Lowdown
Imperial Units
Alright, let’s get real. Ibiza – Cala Nova is looking dead flat for the next 16 days. If you’re chasing waves, you’re chasing ghosts. The first chance you get is late on Sunday, 23rd August.
You’re looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE, with a weak 6-second period. The combined energy is a paltry 28 (weak energy). The wind is a cross-on from the E at 9 mph, so it’s a bit choppy. The water is a warm 84°F, which is about 5°F warmer than normal – that’s very unusual. But for surfing, it’s rubbish.
Monday the 24th has a cleaner morning with a light NNE cross-off at 6 mph, but the swell is only 2ft from the E. The afternoon gets messy with a 19 mph cross-shore.
The best window is actually a clean spell from Tuesday, 25th August afternoon through Wednesday, 26th August morning. The wind goes offshore from the NW (6 mph) on Tuesday afternoon, then it goes dead glassy on Wednesday morning. The problem? The swell is a pathetic 2ft with a 6-second period. It’s clean, but it’s not surfable. It’s just a flat, pretty ocean.
After that, it’s a long stretch of nothing. The swell bumps up to about 3ft a few times (like Thursday, 27th August morning and Friday, 4th September), but the wind is always cross or onshore, and the period is short. The energy maxes out at 56 (still weak) on the 4th, but with a direct onshore wind from the ESE. This is a beach and reef setup, so with those conditions, it’s more of a kite-surfing zone than a paddle spot.
The second week is a total write-off. No swell, poor wind. The combined energy never gets going, and the scores are all zero. This is just how it goes here sometimes. I wouldn’t even bother waxing the board.
