The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking for Ibiza - Cala Nova.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch ahead. For the next week and a half, there's just nothing to get excited about. We're looking at a long, dry gap from now until the morning of Monday, September 21st. Just flat, clean, and glassy days with zero energy. It'll be beautiful for a swim, but don't bother lugging your board.
Then, out of nowhere, the morning of Monday the 21st throws us a little surprise. We get a clean 3.6ft swell from the NE with a long period of 9 seconds. The combined swell energy reads as moderate (224), so there's some grunt in the water. The wind goes light and variable, and the word we want to hear is "glassy." That's the one bright spot in the whole outlook. It won't be huge, but it'll be the cleanest and most rideable surf we see.
After that, it's back to the doldrums. The rest of the week after the 21st is a write-off. Tiny, weak, and messy. For a beach and reef setup, the long, clean spells here are a killer. The water is running much warmer than usual for this time of year at 83°, but with no waves to enjoy it, that’s just a nice fact for the beach bar.
So, to boil it down: you wait nearly two weeks, and you get one clean, glassy session on the morning of the 21st. That's your window.
