The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let me level with you. Staring down this 16-day window, and it’s a tough one. The swell energy is looking weak, and there’s a whole lot of nothing on offer for a while. We’re not even talking about small waves; we’re talking about a proper flat spell.
The first few days are a write-off. We’ve got tiny, weak surf with periods of 4-5 seconds at 0.7ft to 3ft. The water is a warm 84°, which is about 5° warmer than it should be this time of year – that’s a notable anomaly. It feels like a bath out there. But the waves, or lack of them, are the story. Blowing cross-shore and onshore, it’s just messy and weak.
We’re looking at a solid stretch of poor conditions from the 26th all the way through to the 9th of September. That’s two full weeks of marginal, knee-high dribble at best. There are some clean, cross-off mornings in there, like on the 28th and the 2nd, but with swell that small it doesn’t matter. It’s just not worth getting wet for. The energy levels are in the weak zone, with readings in the teens and twenties for the most part. A total grind.
Now, come the 10th of September, a pulse of something a little more interesting shows up. It’s not huge, but the swell direction shifts to the SE, which is the optimum direction for this spot, and the period stretches out to 6 seconds. The summary height gets to 4ft, and the combined energy climbs to 93. Still on the lower end of moderate, but it’s the biggest and most consistent bump in the whole forecast. Early morning on Thursday the 10th is the pick, with a light cross-shore wind and that small but clean energy. The afternoon looks a bit more cross-chop with it. Look, it’s not a day to write home about, but it’s the only thing that even gets close to a surfable wave in this whole damn window. It’s a long way out, so treat it as promising but not set in stone.
Honestly, for Cala Nova, this is a blank run. It’s a spot that needs a bit more push from the SE to get going. We’re going to have to be patient. The forecasts can change, and it won’t stay this flat forever, but right now, save your wax and do something else.
Rusty, out.
