Right, let’s have a look at the forecast for Ibiza’s Cala Nova. I’ll be honest, this is a tough run. Over the next two weeks, there’s a long stretch where you’ll barely see a wave worth paddling for. The swell energy is weak, and the wind is often onshore or cross-shore, making things messy.
Let’s start with this coming Saturday, the 4th of July. There’s a tiny bit of swell in the water early – around 1.0 ft from the east, but with a period of just 4 seconds, it’s weak, and the combined energy is only 4. The wind is glassy from the WNW early, so it’s clean, but honestly, there’s almost nothing to ride. The water temperature is 80°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year (6° anomaly), but that’s about the only notable thing. That morning window is the only slight chance, and it’s poor.
From Sunday the 5th right through to Friday the 10th of July, it goes completely flat. Nothing. Zero combined energy. The wind is light at times but there’s simply no swell. That’s a solid 6-day gap with no surf on offer.
Things start to show a tiny pulse on Saturday the 11th of July. The morning sees 3 ft from the SSW with a period of 5 seconds. Combined energy is 64, which is still weak. The wind is cross-onshore from the S at 6 mph, so it’s not clean. It’s not worth getting excited about. The afternoon is similar: 3 ft from the SSW, period 7 seconds, energy 61, but the wind is stronger and more onshore.
Sunday the 12th of July is a bit cleaner in the morning with a cross-offshore wind from the NNW at 6 mph. The swell is small, 2 ft from the SSW with an 8-second period, giving 35 energy. It’s clean, but tiny. That might be the best of a bad bunch for the first week, but it’s nothing special.
After that, the rest of the second week into the 19th of July is a struggle. Wave heights stay below 2 ft, periods are short, and the wind is often from the south or east, onshore. There are a couple of glassy mornings, like Tuesday the 14th of July early, where the wind is calm, but the swell is only 0.7 ft. It’s flat.
Honestly, for this area, a blank run like this is not unusual. Forecasts can change, but looking at this, if you’re here for a surf trip, you’re probably better off grabbing a board for some flat-water paddle or enjoying the beach.
