The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the forecast for a little slice of the Med. I gotta be straight with you—this stretch is looking pretty grim for surf.
We’ve got a 16-day window ahead, but honestly, there’s nothing on the cards that’s worth paddling out for. The first few days of the forecast are a total write-off. From Monday the 27th of July right through to at least the 11th of August, every single session is rated as “poor surf conditions.” That’s a long, dry spell, and I’m talking about a solid two weeks of flat or near-flat junk.
The only break on the radar is Cala-Nova (Ibiza - Cala Nova). It’s a beach-and-reef setup, exposed to the swell, but it’s just not getting any love. The water is a balmy 85°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—over three degrees hotter than average—so it’s a good beach day, but not a surf day.
The best we get is a tiny bump of swell. On the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August, we might see a combined swell energy of just 12 (weak), with a 2 ft swell from the southeast, but the period is a short, weak 4 seconds. It’s glassy that morning, so it would be clean, but there’s just no wave energy to work with.
Later in the run, around Saturday the 8th of August, there’s a slight increase in the afternoon: a 3 ft east swell with a 4-second period, energy at 36 (still weak). It’s cross-onshore, though, so it’ll be a bumpy mess.
Then on Tuesday the 11th of August, the afternoon shows a 3 ft swell from the east-northeast, period of 5 seconds, and energy at 40 (still weak). The wind is cross-shore, so it’s not clean, but it’s the closest thing to a rideable wave in the whole outlook. Still, calling it a standout is a stretch.
The setup here is more suited for a swim or a kite session. With such small, weak swell and onshore winds most days, you’re better off leaving the board at home.
There’s simply nothing to get excited about. The forecast can always change, but right now, it’s a flat spell through and through.
Rusty.
