The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee, sit down. Let’s chew the fat on what we’ve got for Ibiza’s Cala Nova.
Honestly, mate, it’s a tough stretch ahead. The 16-day window looks pretty bleak for a proper surf. There’s a massive gap right from the start with hardly anything worth paddling for, and that dry spell hangs around for a long while. You’re looking at maybe a week and a half of almost nothing.
The only real flicker of life shows up right at the tail end. For the first week and a half, from August 10th through to about the 24th, it’s mostly ankle-snatchers. The swell heights bob around 0.7ft to 2ft with junk periods of 3 to 5 seconds – that’s just wind chop with no push. A lot of the time the wind is cross or onshore, so it’s messy. There’s a few mornings with glassy conditions, like the 13th, 14th, and 17th, but the swell is barely there – 0.7ft to 2ft. It’s flat, not fun.
The water’s a story in itself. On the 10th, it’s sitting at a balmy 85°F with an anomaly of 6°F – that’s not just warm, that’s *much warmer than normal* for this time of year. Feels like a bath.
Now, the only bit that gets the heart beating a little is on Tuesday the 25th. There’s a pulse of swell showing up. The morning session brings a 6ft swell from the SW with a 6-second period. The combined energy is at 189, so it’s a moderate amount of energy coming in. It’s a beach and reef break, so that short period will mean close-outs, but it’s the biggest we see. Wind is cross-shore from the SW at 9 mph, which is workable but not perfect. It’ll be messy, but for this region, on this date, it’s the standout. It’s an exposed spot, so it’ll catch everything. Just don’t expect long, peeling lines. The afternoon drops off to 3ft.
So, the pick is Cala Nova (Ibiza) on the morning of the 25th. It’s not going to be world-class, but it’s the only one with some actual height. The swell direction is from the SW, which is close to its optimum SE direction, so it’ll wrap in okay. It’s a beginner-friendly spot usually, but at 6ft with that short period and cross-shore wind, it might be a bit too punchy for absolute beginners. Expect it to be on the wonky side.
Otherwise, it’s a long wait. Keep an eye on the charts because a forecast that far out can change, but right now, the 25th is the only day worth the drive.
