The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on offer for the next couple of weeks at Cala Nova. I'll be straight with you – it's a tough one to call.
Looking at the whole picture, the 16-day window is pretty flat. There's a big gap of nothing much happening. The first solid swell we see is near the end of the run but it's far out, so don't get your hopes up too much just yet. We're going to be staring at a lot of small, choppy, and weak conditions for a long stretch.
The first faint glimmer isn't until the 16th of August, but honestly, it's still poor. We're looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the southeast with a short period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly 29. It's glassy on the morning of the 16th at Cala Nova (Ibiza - Cala Nova), which is a nice touch, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no drama there.
The next little pulse comes in on the 20th of August. The swell picks up to a modest 3ft to 4ft from the SE/ESE, but the period is still short (5 seconds) and the combined energy tops out at 94. With a gentle cross-onshore wind, it's going to be a bumpy, messy affair. Not really worth paddling out for.
The only real standout, and I mean *only*, is the morning of the 24th of August. This is a full two weeks away, so take it with a grain of salt, but it's the best looking call on the board. We've got a 2ft swell from the ESE, but the wind is a fresh offshore from the NNW blowing at 22 mph. That offshore wind is a game-changer for cleaning things up. The combined energy is only 23 though, so it's not going to be powerful. For a dedicated surfer, this is the one morning to mark on the calendar for a session, but it's a long-range gamble.
The rest of the time? It's a lot of cross-on winds, onshore slop, and swell heights barely reaching 2ft. There's a period of glassy conditions on the 23rd of August morning, but with a 2ft, 4-second swell, it's just a ripple.
To be honest, for most of this month, the beach and reef setup at Cala Nova looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, especially on the 20th when the wind picks up. The lack of any consistent swell and the persistent onshore/cross-onshore winds make for a tough run for the wave rider.
So, bottom line: wait and see on that 24th of August morning. Everything else is a no-go.
Rusty.
