The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. No two ways about it: Cala Nova in Ibiza is flat. The 16-day forecast is a long, dry run of “poor surf conditions” with zero recommendations. From Wednesday 22nd July right through to Thursday 6th August, there’s no session worth paddling for.
The first few days are a bust. Wednesday 22nd July morning is glassy with a 15 km/h north cross-offshore, but zero swell energy. Afternoon sees a tiny 0.1m northeast windswell with a 2-second period – not even a ripple. Thursday 23rd and Friday 24th are the same deal: flat mornings with glassy surface, 0.2m swell from the east or south, and a period of just 3 seconds. Combined energy sits at 1 or 2.
The weekend of 25th and 26th July gives a slight pulse. Saturday morning brings 0.4m from the south-southwest, 4 seconds, and combined energy of 6. Wind is a light cross-offshore from the west at 5 km/h, so it’s clean. But the wave height is barely knee-high. Saturday afternoon has 0.3m from the south-southwest with a 6-second period, still weak at 6. A gentle offshore from the northwest at 15 km/h keeps it clean. Sunday morning 26th July has 0.4m from the south-southwest, 7 seconds, and combined energy of 20. The wind is a fresh cross-offshore from the north at 35 km/h, so the surface is clean, but it’s a fight to paddle. Afternoon drops back to 0.2m.
The following week sees a gradual increase in swell height but still poor. By Thursday 30th July, it’s 0.8m from the southeast, 5-second period, combined energy of 44. The wind is a moderate cross-onshore from the east-southeast, leaving a choppy surface. The water temp is about average for the time of year. Friday 31st July morning shows 1.1m with combined energy of 98, but the wind is onshore from the southeast at 5 km/h. Afternoon hits 1.2m and 114 energy, still onshore and chop. The first days of August are similar, with 0.7m on Saturday 1st August but cross-offshore wind keeping it clean – still too small. By Sunday 2nd August, the wind is a fresh cross-onshore from the east at 30 km/h, making it lumpy.
The final days – 5th and 6th August – are back to flat. Wednesday 5th August morning is glassy with zero wind, but only 0.3m of swell. Thursday 6th August morning has a clean cross-offshore from the west-southwest at 5 km/h, again 0.3m. This whole stretch is better suited for a kite when the wind blows, but for a surfer? A full 16-day wait for nothing.
Rusty, out.
