The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what we've got here for Ibiza – Cala Nova. To be straight with you, it's a bit of a quiet spell.
We're looking at mostly tiny waves – we're talking knee-high stuff at best for the first week and a half. The combined energy is really weak, mostly sitting at single digits or just creeping into the low double figures, like the 2 on Monday afternoon or the 8 on Wednesday morning. The water's going to be absolutely roasting, coming in at about 83.7°F on the Monday, and running much warmer than normal for the time of year – a real standout for anyone just wanting a dip.
For the first week, it's pretty much a bust for proper surfing. You get a few glassy mornings, like Tuesday morning and Wednesday morning, but with swell height barely reaching 1ft and a period of 6 seconds or less, there's just no push. The 9th of August brings a tiny pulse: Sunday morning with 2.6ft from the SE, but the cross-onshore wind from the East at 6 mph makes it a bit choppy and messy. The combined energy hits 32, which is still very weak for a wave.
The one day that offers a glimmer of hope for a session is Monday, the 10th of August. The morning session has 3.6ft of ESE swell with a period of 6 seconds and glassy conditions from the NNE at just 3 mph. The combined energy is 74, still weak to be honest, and the wave comment says it's "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". It's not going to blow your mind, but it's the only window where you could *maybe* get a few grovelly ones in clean conditions. The afternoon gets chopped up by an Easterly at 12 mph, so the morning is your only chance.
After that, it drops right back off. From the 11th through to the 18th of August, we're talking about swell heights mostly below 1.6ft and combined energy dropping into the single figures again, often with no real swell direction or even zero energy. There's a little blip on the 15th with 2ft from the East and 23 combined energy, but with a cross-onshore wind from the South at 9 mph, it'll be a messy onshore dribble.
To be honest, if you're looking to paddle out, the whole 16-day window is a tough ask. The setup here is a beach and reef, but with these tiny, weak swells and the wind often on it, it's not looking great for a proper surfer. If the wind is up and there's any bump, it might be more interesting for a kite than a paddle board.
Stay patient, folks. It can't stay this flat forever.
