The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty checking in. Right now, the scene at Cala Nova (Ibiza) is totally flat. The water temp is a balmy 84°F, way warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a hot tub. But as for waves? There’s basically nothing happening for the next several days, so don’t get your hopes up.
Through the rest of August and into early September, we’re looking at tiny, weak swell barely reaching 1 to 3 feet, with wind coming from all the wrong directions – onshore, cross, light puffs. The combined wave energy is pathetic, mostly single-digit numbers (like 15 or 25), so there’s zero power. On the 31st of August, we get a glassy morning with a 1-foot ESE swell, but it’s still poor. Not worth the trip.
The one bright spot comes on the morning of Wednesday, the 2nd of September. We’ll see a 5-foot swell from the east, with a period of 6 seconds, and a clean offshore wind from the NNW at 12 mph. The combined energy jumps to 246 (moderate), so there’s some actual push. It’s only a “marginal” call, but it’s the best we’ve got. That window closes quick, though, as the afternoon turns choppy.
After that, it’s back to tiny surf and light winds, with a few glassy mornings around the 5th and 6th of September, but the swell is just 0.3 to 2 feet – not enough to catch. The rest of the outlook through the 11th stays small and messy, with cross-onshore breezes and weak energy. No highlights here. This setup is so weak, it’d be better for a kite than a paddle board.
So, bottom line: if you’re in Ibiza, don’t rush. The 2nd of September morning is your only real chance, and it’s far from epic. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, the board stays dry.
Rusty.
