The Lowdown
Hey there, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – right now there's nothing doing at Ibiza - Cala Nova for the next 16 days. Every single session in the window is scored as poor surf. The first chance of even seeing a ripple is Saturday the 29th of August, but that's just 0.7 ft of weak easterly windswell with a period of 5 seconds, and combined energy is just 2. Combine that with no swell direction matching the optimum southeast and you've got zero to get excited about.
Let's walk through it. For the first week, from that Saturday 29th through to Thursday the 3rd of September, you're looking at tiny 0.7 ft to 2 ft slop – mostly from the east or east-southeast with short periods between 3 and 5 seconds. The combined energy barely nudges into double digits only on Tuesday the 1st of September morning (13) and Wednesday the 2nd of September morning (17), but winds are cross or cross-off at 6 to 9 mph so it's messy. On Sunday the 30th of August morning there's a glassy moment with a light 3 mph north wind, but the swell is only 0.7 ft and 4 seconds – just nothing to push. The water is a toasty 82° with a temperature anomaly of 4° warmer than the long-term average, so that much warmer than normal water is about the only highlight.
By Friday the 4th of September into the second week, flat spells appear – Saturday the 5th of September morning has zero swell, and it stays lifeless through to Sunday the 13th of September. From the 4th onwards, the highest swell height is a pathetic 2 ft with a 5-second period on Monday the 7th of September morning (combined energy 12), and winds are glassy at 3 mph, but it's still not surfable. The rest of the window is a desert of 0.3 ft to 1 ft junk with combined energy mostly in single digits. On the 9th through to the 13th of September, the swell drops to 1.0 ft or less, and by the final weekend, you're looking at flat calm – no swell at all.
It’s a long, blank run for any surf at this beach-and-reef spot. Truth is, when it goes quiet here, it can stay like this. Nothing to recommend at all. With the tiny swell, poor quality, and light winds, the setup would only be interesting for kite surfing right now. Fingers crossed the forecasts change.
Rusty.
