The Lowdown

Right then, let's have a look at what's on offer for Ibiza's Cala Nova over the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, it's a pretty grim run. We're looking at over two weeks where the surf is just not happening. The swell is tiny, the periods are short, and the combined wave energy is barely registering – we're talking single and low double digits for most of it, which is weak sauce. The water's warm though, at 84°F, which is much warmer than usual for the time of year, but that's about the only thing going for it.

The whole forecast is a long spell of poor surf conditions. There are a couple of windows where the wind might be offshore or glassy, like on the morning of Friday the 28th of August with a 2ft swell from the SW, or the morning of Saturday the 29th of August with a tiny 0.7ft swell, but the swell just isn't there to push anything worth paddling for. You'll be sitting on a flat board.

Honestly, the only flicker of something happens on the 1st of September, Tuesday afternoon. We get a jump to a 5ft swell from the ENE with a 6-second period, and the combined energy finally hits 131, which is moderate. The wind is glassy, so it'll be clean. But the report still calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It's only a 1/5 rating for a reason—this is a beginner beach and reef spot, and for most of us, it's just not worth the wait.

Stick to the beach or the bar. There's nothing here for a surfer for the next two weeks.
