The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Ibiza's Cala Nova over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off for any proper surfing. We're looking at a long stretch of flat, calm conditions. From Tuesday, 4th August, right through to the afternoon of Monday, 17th August, the swell is either non-existent or so tiny it's barely a ripple. You'll be staring at a lake-like surface most days, with a few mornings of glassy, mirror-flat water. The water is a very warm 84°, which is 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that's much warmer than normal, so if you're just paddling around on a foamie or a SUP, it's gorgeous, but for a surf? Nothing doing.

There are a few mornings with light winds from the east, like Thursday, 6th August, and Saturday, 8th August, where the water is glassy, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7ft to 1ft with a period of just 3 to 4 seconds. There's no energy behind it. The combined energy reading is a measly 2 to 6, so you're just not going to get a wave that holds up.

The only real window of interest pops up a week from Monday, on the 17th. Monday morning, 17th August, we see a bump in the swell to 3ft from the NE, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 109, which is moderate, but it's still cross-on shore and the morning is only rated "poor surf conditions". The afternoon gets a bit more interesting with a 5ft swell from the east, period 6 seconds, and a combined energy of 217. This is a moderate energy level, but it's still a marginal forecast. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it might be a bit choppy.

The real standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Tuesday, 18th August. The swell picks up to 5ft from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 366 – now that's a moderate but solid push. The wind is a light cross-shore from the NE, which could keep it reasonably clean. This is a beach and reef setup, so with that size and period, it could start to produce some rideable waves. For a beginner, 5ft is getting a bit big, but it's not out of the question for a confident intermediate. The afternoon of the 18th sees the wind swing offshore from the WSW, which is the wrong direction for this spot, but it's a clean 3ft swell. It's not going to be the best.

So, to be honest, there's not a lot to get excited about. The best on offer is the Tuesday morning, 18th August, with that 5ft ESE swell. It's not a classic, but it's the only day where the wave energy is significant enough to get a proper session in. Keep an eye on it, but don't plan your whole trip around it.

Stay patient, and the ocean might surprise us.

Rusty.
