The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s talk about Ibiza - Cala Nova. I won’t sugarcoat it—this forecast is mostly a dry spell. The first actual surf worth mentioning doesn’t show up until the morning of Thursday, September 17th. That’s about 11 days of flat or junk conditions before we see anything real. Small, short-period, onshore slop rules the first week and a half. Not worth the walk down the beach.
Now, the one that’s got me talking—Thursday morning, September 17th. We’re looking at glassy conditions, wind almost nothing, and a clean little pulse from the northeast pushing waves around 4ft. The period is short at 6 seconds, so it’s not a groundswell, but the combined energy is moderate at 121. That’s the best you’ll get. The swell direction isn’t ideal for this spot (it prefers SE), but with no wind and that much push, you’ll find some rideable waves. Expect company—this spot gets crowded when it’s clean.
Water temperature is 83°, which is about 5° warmer than normal for this time of year—definitely unusual, and you’ll be comfortable in boardshorts.
After that Thursday morning, the rest of the outlook is mostly small and average. There’s a brief chance on Monday afternoon, September 21st with chest-high, glassy conditions again, but the energy is weak (74) and the waves are ordinary.
So bottom line: one good window. Thursday morning, September 17th, at Cala Nova. If you want clean waves, that’s your shot. The rest is for the kite crew or a beach day.
