The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Ibiza’s Cala Nova is a tough one. We’re looking at a full 16-day window starting from Saturday, the 25th of July, and frankly, it’s a flat spell. There isn’t a single day in this whole period where the waves are worth paddling out for. The combined swell energy barely gets into double digits, peaking at a weak 15, and most of the time it’s sitting in the single digits. That’s just no power for a proper surf.
The water is a real talking point, though. When we do get a sniff of a wave, the water temperature is sitting at 84°F, which is a whopping 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual, so if you’re just floating around, it’s bathwater.
The first couple of days, Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th, offer tiny swell from the S and SSW, around 1ft to 1ft, with a short period of 3 to 6 seconds. There’s clean offshore wind in the mornings, but with that height and energy, it’s barely a ripple. Monday the 27th morning has a brief moment of glassy conditions with a tiny 1ft ESE swell, but the period is a measly 5 seconds and the energy is only 7 – it’s not going to break properly.
The rest of the week through to the end of July and into early August is more of the same. We get a few mornings with glassy conditions, like Tuesday the 28th and Saturday the 1st of August, but the swell is consistently under 2ft from the SE or ESE, with periods of 3 to 4 seconds. The wind often turns onshore or cross-onshore in the afternoons, making it choppy and messy. The combined energy rarely breaks into double figures; it’s a true blank run.
Even when we get into the second week, around the 5th and 6th of August, the swell ticks up to 2ft from the SE, but it’s still short-period and weak, with a moderate onshore breeze ruining any chance of a clean face. By the 7th of August, the swell drops again to 0.7ft, and the wind is clean and cross-offshore, but there’s just no water moving.
For a spot like Cala Nova, a beach and reef setup, this kind of prolonged flat spell is more the norm than the exception in summer. It’s disappointing, but forecasts can change. For now, leave the board at home. If you’re desperate for a glide, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, but even then, the wind is light.
Stay hopeful, but don’t hold your breath.
