The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one for Ibiza's Cala Nova. I’ve looked at the next 16 days, and I gotta tell ya, we’re staring down the barrel of a real flat spell. There isn’t a single moment in the forecast where the conditions get good enough to paddle out with any real hope. It’s a dry run, plain and simple.
The first record we get is for Thursday, July 23rd, and the combined wave energy is a total zero (0). The water is a balmy 84°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing going for it. The swell is non-existent, and the wind is all over the place – glassy in the morning, but cross-on by the afternoon. It’s just flat.
We roll through Friday and Saturday the 24th and 25th, and we’re barely scraping 1ft of swell. The energy is pathetic, never cracking double digits. You get a little bit of offshore wind on Saturday afternoon, which would clean things up, but with a wave height of 1ft and a period of 6 seconds, there’s nothing to surf. It’s just a ripple.
The following week, from July 27th all the way through to August 7th, is more of the same. The swell is tiny, mostly 0.7ft to 2ft, with short periods that never offer any grunt. The combined swell energy stays weak, stuck in the single digits. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, which only messes up the surface. There are a few glassy moments, like on the morning of July 29th, but with a 1ft swell from the SE and a period of just 3 seconds, it’s not surf. It’s a lake.
Honestly, there’s no standout, no hidden gem, no window of opportunity. The whole 16-day outlook is a bust. For this area, a blank run this long is pretty normal when the summer heat sets in. The forecasts can change, but right now, you’d be better off finding a different hobby for a couple of weeks.
Rusty.
