The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s be straight – the next couple of weeks around Ibiza - Cala Nova are looking pretty darn flat. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead of us, but honestly, there’s not a single day in that whole run that I’d call rideable. The swell just isn’t showing up.
Right from the start on Thursday the 30th of July, it’s tiny. We’re looking at a pathetic 1 ft swell from the SE with a short period of only 5 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 7, and by the afternoon the wind swings onshore. Every single day through the first week is the same story – poor surf conditions with wave heights barely cracking 2 ft. You’ll see some glassy mornings on the 30th, the 2nd of August, the 6th, and the 7th, but with no size, it doesn’t matter.
There’s a little uptick in energy around the 11th of August, with the swell hitting 4 ft from the ENE and the combined energy climbing to 52, but the period is still short at 5 seconds and the wind is cross-onshore. It’s still labelled as poor surf. The 13th and 14th of August see the swell stick around the 2 ft to 3 ft mark from the SE, but again, the periods are short and the winds are messy. The biggest number we see in terms of combined energy is 52, which is weak.
So, what’s the best on offer? Honestly, nothing. There are no standouts. It’s a complete blank run. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the Tuesday afternoon on the 4th of August has a bit of offshore wind (WNW at 12 mph) with a 2 ft swell and a period up to 7 seconds, giving a combined energy of 30. It’ll be clean, but it’s barely a ripple. For beginners, the water’s flat and about average for the time of year, so it’s a good week for a swim. This kind of flat spell is pretty normal for the area, and forecasts can change, so don’t lose hope entirely, but for the next 16 days, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.
