The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, switching to feet. It’s a real quiet outlook ahead for Ibiza, specifically Cala Nova. We’re in for a stretch of very small, weak surf that just doesn’t have any punch. The swell energy numbers are tiny, almost all under 100, which means there’s barely any power in the water. Expect a long, flat spell.
Kicking off on Friday the 28th, it’s a total dud. Swell is a paltry 2ft from the SSW with a 6-second period and combined energy of just 30. The wind is a moderate cross-offshore in the morning, but there’s nothing to surf. Saturday and Sunday the 29th and 30th are even worse, with swell dropping to 0.7ft and 1ft. Water temp is about average for this time of year, no big anomaly.
A tiny glimmer appears on Tuesday the 1st of September. The afternoon turns glassy with 3ft swell from the ESE, but the period is a low 5 seconds (energy 39). Still, it’s classified as poor conditions. Not worth suiting up.
Thursday the 3rd of September brings the most swell we’ll see all forecast, at 3ft from the E, with a 7-second period and combined energy hitting 106—that’s at least moderate energy. The morning has a light cross-offshore wind, so it should be clean. But even then, it’s small and short-period, just weak little waves. Not a standout.
After that, it’s back to dribble. Friday the 4th is nearly flat with 1ft. The whole first week of September is barren. The 10th of September shows a small bump with 3ft from the SE, period 6 seconds (energy 50), but with onshore wind, it’s choppy. The 11th has a glassy morning with 3ft from the ESE, period 5 seconds—clean but lifeless. The 12th of September ends the forecast with 3ft from the ESE, period 7 seconds (energy 62), and moderate cross-off wind, so the cleanest of the bunch, but still under 3ft.
There’s no gem here. Every session is rated poor. If I had to pick, the glassy mornings on the 1st and 11th of September might give you a few knee-high rides for a complete beginner, but for anyone else, it’s not worth the paddle. This is a long quiet run. Stay patient.
Rusty.
