The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, checking in from Ibiza. Let me tell you, it’s going to be a quiet stretch on the island for a while.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: don’t expect much for the next two weeks. We’ve got a long gap with no real surf on offer. It’s looking like a pretty blank run for Ibiza – Cala Nova, our local beach and reef setup. The water is cooking at 84°, which is a wild 6° warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s more of a swim than a surf situation.

From Wednesday the 29th of July right through to Thursday the 13th of August, every single report is marked as poor surf conditions. We’re talking tiny little waves, mostly around 0.7ft to 2ft, with a very short period of 4 to 6 seconds, meaning zero push. The combined swell energy is weak, barely hitting double digits – like 17 (weak) on the 29th, popping up to 31 (still weak) on the 13th of August, but even that is only 2ft. For a spot that’s exposed to the SE, we just aren’t getting the love.

There’s a couple of moments where the wind goes glassy or offshore, like Thursday morning the 30th of July with a glassy 2ft SE swell, or the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August with a clean 2ft from the SSW, and even Sunday the 9th with a tiny 0.3ft from the NE under clean offshore winds. But honestly, it’s so small you’d be chasing ripples. The period stays short, under 8 seconds, so there’s no groundswell to speak of.

For a spot like this, that beach-and-reef setup is usually fun on a push, but with the combined energy never breaking 100 (max 31 on the 13th of August), it’s just not doing anything. If you see a bit of wind on the 4th of August afternoon with a moderate 12 mph WNW offshore, that could clean up a tiny 1ft, but it’s still not worth paddling out for.

Bottom line: there’s no standout surf here, not even one day I’d call good. It’s a classic summer flat spell for Ibiza. Keep the board in the car, but don’t hold your breath.

Stay tuned,
Rusty

A general guide to surfing at Ibiza - Cala Nova can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
