The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the straight talk for the Ibiza - Cala Nova stretch. To be blunt, the surf forecast is a desert for the next couple of weeks. The combined energy is almost always in the single digits or low double digits, and the conditions are a tough read. You’re looking at a solid ten days with barely a ripple.
From Sunday the 13th through to Thursday the 24th, it’s a write-off. Morning after morning, afternoon after afternoon, we’ve got minimal to zero swell, with the wind mostly coming from the wrong direction—cross and cross-onshore. While a few mornings are glassy or clean, like Monday 14th and Friday 25th, there’s simply no swell to surf. It’s flat and disappointing.
The only thing that even looks like a pulse is on the morning of Friday the 25th. A small 1.2m NE swell, with an 8-second period, rolls in. The combined swell energy hits (160), which is the only real reading we see, and the wind is glassy. It’s the best option, but that’s not saying much—the surf quality is described as *surfable waves but very ordinary conditions*. For a beginner spot, it’s a tiny, weak window. Don't make plans around it.
By that afternoon and for the following days, it’s back to nothing. Water temp is about average for this time of year.
That’s all she wrote.
