The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get straight into it. I’ve been staring at the charts for Cala Nova and, honestly, it’s a tough stretch for us. There’s not a single good surf option in this whole 16-day run. The surf is just not showing up. It’s a pretty blank run for the area, which happens, but it doesn’t make it any easier to swallow.
We open with some weak, short-period leftovers on Friday afternoon, nothing over 1ft and messy with a cross-shore breeze. The water is a balmy 83°, which is a couple of degrees warmer than usual for this time, but that’s about the only highlight.
The weekend isn't any better. Saturday starts clean with a glassy 1ft, but it’s tiny. Sunday morning is flat calm, glassy, but with only 0.7ft on offer. It’s more of a lake than a surf break. Monday keeps the same theme – small, clean, but absolutely no push.
The middle of next week sees a bit more energy, but it’s all windswell with short, weak periods. Tuesday afternoon bumps up to 2ft, but it’s cross-onshore and lumpy. Wednesday morning is still poor, but the afternoon brings a bit more size, hitting 4ft with a moderate cross-onshore breeze. The combined energy is up to 155 then, but it's a messy, wind-blown 4ft, not worth the paddle. The direction is also not ideal for the spot, coming in from the ENE.
There’s a brief flicker of hope on the morning of Thursday the 10th. The swell builds to a clean-ish 4ft from the SSW with an 8-second period, and the energy reading jumps to 200. The wind is a light cross-shore, which helps. The call says "marginal," and I'd agree. It’s the biggest thing on offer, but it's still short-period and looks like it will be a bit of a mess with the onshore breeze picking up in the afternoon. The conditions are just too poor to make any of it worth your time.
After that, it fades back down again. The 11th and 12th are back to small, weak, and generally choppy. There’s a little bump on the 12th with 4ft and 4ft, but again, cross-onshore winds and low period energy. No good.
So, that’s the story. No standouts, no hidden gems, just a long stretch of flat, weak, or blown-out surf. For the first few days, the small clean waves might be okay for a total beginner to get wet, but there's nothing for anyone wanting an actual ride. It’s one of those times where the forecast can only change for the better. Keep your board waxed and your eyes on the charts, because it tends not to stay like this forever. This is Rusty, signing off.
