The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks at Cala Nova (Ibiza).
Right off the bat, I’ve got to be straight with you: the outlook is flat. Properly flat. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves, not much more than a ripple. The water is sitting at a very warm 84°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a bath.
The first week is a write-off. From Saturday the 25th right through to Saturday the 1st of August, the swell is barely a whisper. Most days you’re looking at swell heights of 0.7ft to 2ft, and the combined energy is pathetic, mostly single digits (3 to 16). The period is super short, down around 3 to 7 seconds, so there’s just no power. The wind is mostly offshore or cross-offshore on the Saturday and Sunday, so if there was any swell, it would be clean, but there isn’t. We get a glassy moment on Monday the 27th morning, but again, with a 1ft swell and only 7 energy units, it’s just a flat lake. Don’t bother.
The second week doesn’t offer much hope either. From Sunday the 2nd of August all the way through to Sunday the 9th, we see the same story. Swell heights hover between 0.3ft and 2ft, with the combined energy rarely breaking out of single digits. There’s a tiny spike on Friday the 7th afternoon, where the swell bumps up to 4ft from the east with a period of 5 seconds and energy of 56 – still weak and short-period. The wind will be cross-onshore, making it a bit lumpy, but honestly, that’s the best we’ve got. It’s not enough to get excited about. For a beach-and-reef setup like this, with such weak, short-period swell, it’s honestly more of a kiteboarding ripple than a paddle surf session.
So, the bottom line is there are no standout days in this 16-day window. It’s a long, flat run. The area does go through these blank spells, so it’s not a total surprise. Keep an eye on it; forecasts can change.
Rusty.
