The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll level with ya. This whole 16-day stretch for Cala Nova is a dud. There’s no surf to speak of. The forecast calls it "poor surf conditions" for every single time slot, and the numbers tell the same story.
Right now, the water is sittin’ at a balmy 84°, which is a solid 6° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s real unusual – feels like a warm bath, but there’s nothing to ride.
From Wednesday the 22nd through the end of July, the swell heights hardly get past 1 feet. The energy is puny, mostly single-digit numbers in the combined swell energy, like 2 or 12. The period is short, under 8 seconds, so it’s all just wind chop. For the first week, any little bump that shows is junked up by onshore or side-shore winds, except for a few glassy mornings that are dead flat.
We get a small bump around Tuesday the 4th of August, with swell creeping up to 3 feet from the ESE, and the combined energy hits 69 – that’s the most we see. But the wind is messin’ it up, side-shore at 15 mph, makin’ it choppy. The period is only 5 seconds, so it’s weak and bumpy. Not a wave worth paddlin’ for.
Even with some cleaner moments, like Saturday morning the 1st of August with glassy conditions, the swell is just 1 feet – you’d be bobbin’ more than ridin’.
There are no standouts. Zip. The spot is a beach and reef, exposed to the SE, but with no swell, it’s a total wash. For this area, a flat spell this long isn’t unheard of, but it’s a bummer. If you’re itchin’ to get wet, you’re better off on a paddleboard. Otherwise, don’t bother.
