The Lowdown

Alright, let’s be straight with you, folks. Rusty here.

We’ve got a bit of a flat spell on the cards for Ibiza – Cala Nova. This is a beginner-friendly beach and reef setup that’s exposed to the swell, but the honest truth is that there’s no good surf to be had in this whole 16-day window. The numbers are telling me we’re stuck in a run of tiny, weak, and mostly wind-affected waves. You’re looking at a long stretch of days where the combined wave energy barely reaches double digits, and that’s being generous.

Starting from today, the 7th of September, right through to the 22nd, every single surf session is marked as poor. There’s no standout, no hidden gem, and no day where I can point you to a decent wave. The first few days have swell heights below 1.6 ft, with periods around 2 to 4 seconds – that’s pure wind chop, not real surf. The wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, messing up what little ripple there is. Even the glassy mornings, like Sunday the 9th with a 2 ft swell from the SSW, only have a combined energy of 20 – that’s barely a bump.

There is a brief moment on Thursday the 10th of September where a 4.6 ft swell from the NE shows up, with a combined energy of 235 (moderate wave energy). But the period is a short 6-8 seconds, and it’s blowing cross-shore. The conditions will be a messy cross-chop. For a beginner spot, that swell is right on the edge of being too big, and it’s not clean. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing those days.

The rest of the run is more of the same: flat, tiny, and blown out. There’s a brief clean-up on the breeze on the 20th of September with a light NNW wind and a 2.3 ft SE swell, but again, the energy is only 26 – tiny.

So, to put it plainly: leave your board at home for the next couple of weeks. This is one of those times where the Mediterranean just goes quiet. It won't stay poor forever, but right now, there’s nothing worth paddling out for.
