The Lowdown
Right, let’s break it down for you.
It’s gonna be a lean couple of weeks at Ibiza – Cala Nova. The water’s running much warmer than usual for this time of year, 28°, but that’s about the only interesting thing going on.
From Monday afternoon, August 31st, all the way through to the morning of Saturday, September 12th, it’s pretty much a write-off. Swell heights are tiny, mostly under 2 feet, with wave energy barely registering (often single digits, like 1 to 10). Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, kicking up chop. There are a few glassy, calm mornings – the 4th, 6th, 8th, 9th, and 10th – but the swell is so small (1 to 2 feet) that it’s not worth the effort.
Your best shot comes on Saturday, September 12th. In the morning, you get a slightly better bump, about 3 feet from the ESE, with a bit more energy (28), but only 5 seconds between waves. Light cross-onshore wind will make it a little bumpy, but it’s doable for a beginner or a fun session. The afternoon bumps up to about 3 feet from the same direction, energy at 32, but the wind picks up and it gets choppier.
Sunday the 13th fades off, and after that it’s flat again. Nothing here screams “go,” but the 12th is your window if you’re desperate. A quiet spell like this is just how it goes sometimes in this area.
