The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a bit of a slow stretch for the most part. We’ve got a long, quiet patch with barely a ripple through the first week and a half. The water is running about 83.3°, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a solid 4.7° above the norm, so you’ll be in for a warm bath.
The only real glimmer of hope, and I mean the only one worth getting out of bed for, shows up on Monday, August 17th. Cala Nova (Ibiza - Cala Nova) is your best bet. That morning, we’re looking at a 5.9ft swell pushing in from the ESE, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (268). That's not a massive wave, but it’s the biggest we’ll see by a long shot, and it’s coming in with a nice cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, which will keep the surface clean. It’s a bit beefy for the beginners, but for the rest of us, it’s the standout. The wind holds and the afternoon drops to 3.9ft (111 energy), still clean and rideable. It’s a beach and reef setup, so it can get a bit fat, but with that wind, it’ll be the best it’s gonna get.
Before that, it’s a long wait. From now right through to the morning of the 17th, there’s nothing but poor surf. We’re talking a full 12 days of flat, weak, or choppy junk. We get a few glassy mornings with tiny 0.7ft waves, but nothing with any push. The afternoon winds mostly chop it up. It’s a real dry spell.
So, circle Monday the 17th on your calendar. That morning session is the one. The 5.9ft ESE swell with that clean cross-offshore wind is the only real window. It’s not a guarantee, but it’s the only solid look we’ve got.
