Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's have a tough chat about what's on the menu for Ibiza's Cala Nova over the next fortnight and a bit.
Honestly, this is a grim run. We're looking at a solid gap of almost no surf right through the first week and into the second. The little bumps that do show up are tiny, weak, and just plain messy. For the days of the 8th through the 10th of July, you're looking at nothing but junk: tiny 0.7ft to 1ft slop, mixed up with onshore and cross-onshore breezes. It’s a write-off.
We do finally see a whiff of something around Saturday the 11th. Swell stays at a microscopic 0.7ft, but the direction swings to a clean NNE cross-offshore breeze. The combined wave energy is just a 5, so it’s barely a ripple, but at least it’ll be a pretty, glassy ripple. Sunday the 12th morning offers a tiny step up with 1ft swell from the east and light NNE cross-offshore winds, giving the best energy reading of this rough patch at a moderate 10. Still, that’s not enough for a proper surf.
The middle of the week, starting Monday the 14th, sees a slight pulse. Swell creeps up to 3ft from the east on Tuesday the 14th, and there’s 30 combined energy in that water. However, the winds are a mixed bag, turning cross-onshore in the afternoons and chopping it all up. Wednesday the 15th has a clean window in the morning with 2ft and a WSW cross-offshore breeze, which is nice.
Our best chance in this whole outlook is Thursday the 16th of July. The morning brings 3ft of swell from the southwest, with light WNW cross-offshore winds. The combined energy is a solid 30 (moderate) and the water is clean. This is the standout session. It’s still small, but clean. If you’re itching for a paddle, that’s your window.
After that, the run continues to be very marginal. A clean but tiny 2ft swell on Monday the 20th has NW offshore winds, and Tuesday the 21st brings the strongest wind of the period at 19 mph to 22 mph from the NW and N, with 2ft to 2ft swell and energy readings of 15 to 18. The conditions are clean (offshore and cross-offshore), but the swell is small and the period is short at 4 to 5 seconds. Honestly, given the small, short-period chop and the persistent wind, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing most days.
The water temperature in the area is sitting at a balmy 81°F. With an anomaly of 6°F, it’s much warmer than you’d expect for this time of year, which is very unusual.
