The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Cala Nova over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The next ten days or so are looking pretty flat and sorry for themselves. There’s a big gap of nothing happening from now until the morning of the 9th of September. We’ve got a few tiny pulses of energy, like 1 ft slop, but with basically no swell power (combined energy way down in the single digits), it’s not worth paddling out for. The water is notably warm, about 82°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s the only highlight.
Now, pay attention to the morning of Wednesday the 9th. That’s our best shot. We’ll see a bit of a bump come through from the ENE, pushing about 3.6 ft. The swell period is a short 5 seconds, so it’s windswell, not groundswell, but the wind is dead calm – glassy conditions. The water temperature anomaly is missing from that record, but usually it’s been warm. The combined energy jumps to 54 (moderate), which is the most we’ll see. This is the standout for the whole outlook. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and rideable for a beginner.
The afternoon of the 9th gets a little choppy with a cross-onshore breeze, so hit it early. After that, the energy fades fast. By the 11th of September, there’s a brief pulse of 3 ft with a longer period of 8 seconds from the NE, but the wind is on it, making it messy. The rest of the second week is a write-off: onshore breezes, tiny or no swell, and energy readings dropping to zero. There’s a spell of moderate to fresh breezes in the middle of the month that will just blow out whatever dribble is there.
For a beginner spot like this, the 9th morning is your window. Be patient, and maybe bring a longboard.
