The Lowdown
Rusty here, and it’s a rough stretch for Cala Nova. Over the full 16 days, there’s really only one morning that even looks like you could get wet, and it’s nothing to write home about. There’s a long gap of near-nothing surf for days before and after that.
Starting now, the swell is tiny and weak. The combined energy is almost always in the single to low double digits, so there’s no push. The water is running crazy warm—around 85°F—which is way hotter than normal for this time of year. It’s like a warm bath, but the waves are flat.
The only day that gets a nod is Wednesday, August 26th. Cala Nova (Ibiza) will see a small 3ft swell out of the ESE, with a cross-offshore wind from the SW. The energy is still low (96), but the surf is clean. You could probably get a few little knee-high rollers if you’re desperate. It’s surfable but far from good.
The rest of the week is a bust. Tuesday the 25th shows a 4ft wave from the ENE, but the wind is poor and it’s messy. Most mornings are either glassy with no swell, or blown out by onshore breezes. Thursday the 27th drops back to 2ft and choppy. It doesn’t get any better heading into September.
By the end of the first week of September, the swell vanishes completely. The last few days show barely 0.3ft to 0.7ft, with almost zero energy. If you’re a kiter, the windier afternoons might work, but for a surfer, this 16-day window is a write-off. The area does go quiet like this sometimes, so don’t lose hope—forecasts can change.
