G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for Ibiza – Cala Nova over the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, it’s a flat spell for a while, and the surf just isn’t cooperating. From now through Saturday, July 10th, there’s really nothing worth paddling out for – tiny lumps, mostly cross-onshore or onshore wind, and the combined swell energy stays low. You’re better off leaving the board in the car.
Come Saturday, July 11th, things start to show a glimmer. Saturday morning brings a tiny 3ft swell from the southeast, period only 6 seconds, so it’s short-period windswell and the combined energy is still weak (44). The wind is light cross-onshore from the east-northeast, so it’s not ideal, but there might be a few crumbly small waves for a beginner to practice on. Afternoon gets chopped up with a 15 mph east wind, so morning’s your window.
Sunday, July 12th is actually the best we’ve got in this whole run. Morning has glassy conditions – wind calm, 3ft swell from east-southeast, 6-second period, and the combined energy is still weak (59). It’s clean, the waves are small, and if you’re a beginner or just want to get wet, it’s about as good as it gets here. But don’t expect power – this is a short-period, weak little pulse.
Monday, July 13th morning starts glassy again with 2ft from the southeast, 6 seconds, and combined energy at 37. Again, tiny and weak, but clean. Afternoon gets a light cross-onshore.
From Tuesday, July 14th onward, it drops right back off – combined energy barely reaches 7, and most days are 1 to 2. There’s a tiny resurgence around Friday, July 17th morning with 1.0ft from the southeast, clean offshore wind from the northeast, but combined energy is only 1. Not worth the drive.
So if you’re keen, pin Sunday, July 12th morning for the cleanest, most surfable conditions – but keep expectations in check. Water temp is about 80°F, which is much warmer than normal for the time of year – a noticeable 6°F above average, so it’s bath-like.
Cala Nova is a beginner-friendly beach and reef break, exposed to southeast swell, and with crowds sometimes you might see a few others. But honestly, the swell just isn’t consistent enough to call any day a true standout.
Stay hopeful – forecasts can change – but for now, it’s a quiet fortnight.
