The Lowdown
Gutted, folks. I've looked over the next sixteen days for Cala Nova and, straight up, it's looking like a complete flat spell. There isn't a single session I’d paddle out for. The models are showing nothing but tiny, short-period dribble that won't break properly on this beach-and-reef set-up.
Right off the bat, Wednesday morning the 9th has a tiny 2ft SSW swell with a weak 5-second period and only 17 units of energy. The water is 83°, which is a whopping 6° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s seriously unusual, something you’d write home about. But that’s where the good news ends. Even though the wind is light and cross-off, the waves are just too small and gutless to do anything with.
Then we get a slight bump on Thursday the 10th with a 5ft NE swell, but it's cross-on and choppy, making a mess of things. The period is a weak 8 seconds and the energy is moderate at 342. After that, it just fades away. We're looking at days and days of nothing over knee-high, with periods of 4 to 5 seconds and energy readings in the single digits. There's a long blank stretch from the 11th through the 18th where there’s basically zero surfable swell.
The only other time the ocean wakes up a little is Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th, but even then, that E swell is only around 3ft with a short 5-6 second period and moderate energy in the 50s. It’s still going to be cross-on and bumpy, so the quality won’t be there.
Honestly, if you've got a kite, this might be more your scene. But for a surfboard, save your energy. The break is exposed, but with waves this small and winds this messy, there’s just nothing on the table. The forecast can always change, but as it stands, I wouldn't hold my breath for anything decent in this window.
