The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Cala Nova over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – this is gonna be a tough read if you’re looking for a paddle.
Overall, we are looking at a pretty bleak 16-day stretch. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the energy is weak. There are no standout sessions that I’d normally jump at. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. For the most part, it’s gonna be a waiting game.
Let’s start with this weekend, the 25th and 26th of July. Saturday morning starts with a tiny 1ft swell from the SSW, but the wind is light offshore from the WNW, keeping it clean. The energy is a measly (8). By the afternoon, the wind cranks up from the NW at 12 mph, still offshore, but the surf is still a pathetic 2ft with a 6-second period. Sunday is more of the same – clear skies, but a moderate cross-offshore breeze. Swell drops to 1.0ft. Honestly, not worth getting the board wet.
Moving through the week, from the 28th of July into the start of August, we are looking at a real flat spell. Swell heights are below 2ft, periods are short, and most of the wind is onshore or cross-onshore. The energy levels are pitiful, staying in the single digits for the most part. There’s a glassy moment on the morning of the 4th of August with 3ft swell from the ESE, but the period is only 5 seconds, and the energy is still low (30). That’s probably the closest to a surfable ankle-slapper you’ll see, but it’s still poor.
The second week looks no better. From the 5th to the 9th of August, swell stays under 3ft, with periods of 5 seconds or less. The wind is mostly cross-off or cross-onshore, keeping things clean but tiny. The energy values are all low, barely cracking 30. There are no waves of consequence on the horizon.
Look, Cala Nova (Ibiza) is an exposed beach and reef set-up, but with this persistent lack of swell and poor quality, this looks more interesting for a kite session than a surf. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not uncommon when the wind and swell don’t align. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.
