The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with a look at what's on the table for Cala Nova over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it's a quiet stretch ahead. The models are showing very little push for the foreseeable future, with a real lack of decent swell on the horizon. Most of the days are either flat or riddled with onshore winds that are going to leave things chopped and messy.
Looking at it day by day, there's really nothing in the first week that's worth getting excited about. The swell stays tiny, barely cracking 2ft at best, and when it's not cross-off, it's cross-on or onshore. The water temp is sitting at 85°F with a big positive anomaly of 6°F, so it’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a bit unusual but won’t do much for the wave quality.
Into the following week, still scraping the bottom of the barrel. There's a slight bump on September 1st with a 3ft swell from the SE and 6 second period, but the wind is cross-on at a solid 12-16 mph, so it’s going to be choppy and messy. Combined energy is moderate at best (68), but honestly, this setup will be more appealing for the kite crew than for traditional paddle surfing.
After that, it drops back down again – tiny swell, mostly onshore winds, and nothing clean or lined up until around September 6th when things briefly turn glassy. Even then, the swell is only 1ft, so you’re looking at a lake more than surf.
Overall, it’s a blank run for the next 16 days. A stretch like this isn’t unheard of for the area, but forecasts can change. Stay tuned.
Rusty.
