The Lowdown

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Ibiza’s Cala Nova (Ibiza - Cala Nova) over the next 16 days is a real struggle. It’s a dry spell, plain and simple. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, small, or just messy conditions, so don’t get your hopes up for any proper waves.

Right from the start, we’ve got nothing. Sunday the 6th is a flat calm with glassy conditions but zero swell energy (0). The water’s a warm 83°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only highlight. That flatness and tiny, weak swell carries right through the entire first week. We see a few mornings with glassy conditions, like Monday the 7th, but the swell is only 1ft from the SE with a short period of 4 seconds – barely a ripple. The combined energy is just 3, so you’re not going anywhere. Tuesday the 8th is even worse, with a light cross-onshore breeze messing up the tiny 0.3ft swell. It’s a real bummer.

The pattern stays stubbornly poor. Even on the days we get a little bump, like Thursday the 10th with 2ft from the east, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and unrideable. The combined energy hits 26-27, which is still very weak. This beach-and-reef setup is exposed to the SE, but the swell just isn’t arriving with any quality. We get some clean conditions on the morning of Friday the 12th with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is only 1ft. It’s just not enough.

The second week doesn’t offer much hope either. The swell gets slightly more consistent around the 15th and 16th, with 2ft from the ESE, but the wind turns onshore again. The energy levels creep up to 26-27, but that’s still in the "weak" range. By Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th, we finally see the biggest swell of the period: 3ft from the ESE with a 6-second period, and the combined energy reaches 58. But the wind is onshore or cross-shore, so it’s going to be a messy, blown-out mess. That’s just not worth paddling out for.

Honestly, there is nothing here that stands out as a good option. For 16 days, it’s all "poor surf conditions." This is a tough run for the area. When the wind is offshore, there’s no swell, and when there’s a hint of swell, the wind is bad. If you’re desperate, maybe look at it for a kite session on the 19th or 20th when the wind is up and the swell is at its peak, but for a paddle surfer, you’re better off waiting for a change in the forecast.

Stay patient, and keep an eye on the charts. Things can change.

Rusty.
