The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, switching to the old school numbers for ya. Lookin’ at the same charts for Ibiza - Cala Nova, and I hate to say it, but it’s the same story – a long, dry spell for surfing. The whole run from late July to mid-August is pretty much flat.
It starts off with no surf to speak of. Those first few days, we’re talkin’ swell heights of less than a foot. The wind is onshore from the SE, and the combined swell energy is just a few points – weak, flat ocean conditions.
There is a moment on the morning of July 30th where the swell bumps up to about 2 ft from the SE, but the period’s still a short 5 seconds and the wind is cross-onshore. That’s just wind-slop, not a wave you’d paddle for. The energy is only 14.
Then it goes completely quiet. From the end of July right into the start of August, you’re lookin’ at days of dead flat conditions. The wind goes glassy a few times, around August 4th to 6th, with the water looking like a mirror, but there’s just no swell to push. That’s a real shame.
The only thing that gets a pulse is on the 7th and 8th of August. On Friday the 7th afternoon, we see a 3 ft swell from the E, again with a short 5-second period. The combined wave energy jumps to 30, so it's got a bit more push, but the forecast still says “poor surf conditions.” The wind is a moderate cross-onshore, so it’s gonna be choppy.
That afternoon of August 7th is the only real option in this whole 16-day stretch. If you’re desperate, that’s your window, but don’t expect pearls. It’s going to be messy.
After that, it fades right back down to tiny, ankle-biters for the rest of the forecast. A few glassy mornings with waves about 2 ft, but no power. For a spot like this that barely gets going in this setup anyway, the whole run looks more promising for kite gear than a surfboard.
Rusty.
