The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Ibiza's Cala Nova are looking like a real struggle. We've got a long, dry spell of nothing but tiny, sloppy windswell and mostly onshore breezes. It's a flat spell, plain and simple.
The entire 16-day window is a bit of a bust, but the first week is particularly grim. From Tuesday the 28th of July all the way through to the 5th of August, we're looking at pretty much nothing rideable. The combined energy of the swells is barely a whisper, with values like 3 ( ) and 5 ( ) on the 28th, and it just doesn't get any better. The water is a balmy 84°, which is a massive 6° warmer than usual for this time of year – that's seriously unusual, but it doesn't help the waves.
The only real glimmer, and it's a faint one, comes right at the very end. On Sunday the 9th of August, the morning shows a pulse of 2ft swell from the NE with a long period of 10 seconds. That long period suggests some groundswell energy, but it's a NE swell, and the optimum direction for Cala Nova is SE. Still, the combined energy hits 64 ( ), which is at least in the low moderate range. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore at 9 mph from the E, so it won't be clean. The following days, the 10th and 11th, see a slight bump in size, with the 11th morning showing 4ft from the SE, with a period of 6 seconds. That's a short-period, wind-affected swell, but the combined energy gets up to 94 ( ). The wind is light from the ENE, so it's a morning cross-on breeze. It's still not good, but it's the least-bad option we've got.
For a beginner break, waves over 5ft would be a problem, but we never get close to that. Honestly, the whole 16-day outlook is a write-off. The conditions are just poor surf, poor surf, poor surf. It's a beach-and-reef setup, but with this lack of quality wave face, it might be more interesting for the kite surfers than us paddle surfers. Hang tight, the forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.
