The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. Rusty here. Well, it looks like we're in for a long, frustrating wait on this one. For the next 16 days, all the way through to the end of August, there isn't a single good surf option to get excited about. The finder is pretty much showing a blank run with nothing but "poor surf conditions" from start to finish.
The whole period is a write-off, honestly. We're looking at a gap of over two weeks with no decent recommendations. For Ibiza - Cala Nova, the swell energy is basically non-existent for the first week, with tiny slop in the 1 ft to 2 ft range and short, weak periods. The combined energy is barely registering, often under 20 (weak energy). Winds are all over the shop, mostly onshore or cross-shore, so even the tiny bumps would be blown out.
Things do pick up a little towards the end of August, around the 25th and beyond. The swell height creeps up to the 4 ft to 4.5 ft mark, and the combined energy starts to show three-digit figures like 127 (moderate wave energy) on the 25th afternoon. But even then, it's all "poor surf conditions" with the wind coming from the East or ESE, keeping it choppy and messy.
Honestly, there is no standout. There isn't even a mediocre option. For a beach and reef setup like this, with the wind patterns we're seeing, I'd say this looks more interesting for the kite surfers than anyone with a paddle. The water is unusually warm – about 85.6°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – but that’s about the only positive.
Sorry, folks. This is one of those times where you leave the boards in the car and just enjoy the beach.
