Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you – the outlook for our corner of the Med is a proper struggle for the next couple of weeks. We're looking at a long, flat spell before things might just start to whisper.
First up, Ibiza's Cala Nova. It's a beginner-friendly beach and reef set-up, and right now it's crying out for swell. The water's sitting at a very unusual 82 °F, which is a solid 6 °F warmer than it should be for mid-July – that's a real ocean heater.
From Monday 13 July right through until late in the month, don't hold your breath. We're staring down the barrel of tiny, weak waves. The combined swell energy barely cracks double digits for days (read: 3 to 35), with heights mostly under 1 ft to 2 ft. That's ankle to knee-high dribble. The wind does go glassy or light offshore on a few mornings – Tuesday 14 and Wednesday 15 July mornings, and even offshore winds on Monday 20 and Tuesday 21 July – but with no swell to groom, it's like polishing a brick. It just doesn't count.
There's a brief flicker around Thursday 24 and Friday 25 July, with the swell trying to nudge up to 2 ft or 3 ft from the ESE, and wave energy finally climbing to 20-27. Periods are a short 5 seconds though, so it'll be weak and crumbly. The wind is cross or cross-on for most of that, which won't help the shape.
Now, for the one standout that's *maybe* worth circling on the calendar. On Sunday 26 July, we get our best look. The morning shows a clean 3 ft from the ESE with a 5-second period and a cross-offshore breeze from the NNW, with moderate wave energy at 47. The afternoon builds a touch more, hitting 3 ft from the ESE with a 6-second period, still clean thanks to a cross-off wind from the NNE, and the energy ticks up to 70. It's still not going to be pumping, but for Cala Nova, that’s the cleanest and biggest we get. If you're a beginner, the size is about right for you. Keep in mind, the crowd factor is listed as 'sometimes' at this spot, so you might have some company.
After that peak, it drops away again quickly into Tuesday 28 July, fading back to tiny onshore mess.
Bottom line: it's a painful wait. More than a week of flatness before a brief, modest window on the 26th. If you've got other gear, the beach set-up with the chop on the 25th and 27th might look more fun for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Otherwise, patience, boys and girls.
Rusty.
