The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Ibiza – Cala Nova over the next couple of weeks.
To be real with you, we’re looking at a pretty flat start. There’s nothing worth paddling out for until the 8th of August. That’s a long dry spell of about a week and a half of tiny, weak waves that won’t do much for anyone. The energy levels are pitiful – mostly single-digit combined energy values (like 16, 14, 9) until we get to the 8th.
Now, the 8th of August is where things get interesting for a moment. Saturday morning we see a jump in swell: 5ft from the NE with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy hits 156, which is a moderate kick. Thing is, that short period from the NE isn’t ideal for this spot – Cala Nova (Ibiza) likes swell from the SE. But the wind? Glassy, with a slight air. That’s a major positive. So you get clean, glassy conditions on a head-high wave. It’s a beach and reef setup, and with that swell size it’s fine for most surfers, not too big for beginners. It’s the only proper standout in the whole window – a fleeting moment. Crowds are listed as “sometimes” here, so with the best conditions in the entire forecast, expect some company.
After that Saturday morning window, the surf drops right back off. The afternoon on the 8th sees the swell drop to 3ft, and from the 9th onward it’s back to knee-high or smaller junk with poor conditions. There’s a small window on the 11th and 12th of August with 2ft from the SE and glassy morning winds, but the energy is still low (30-31) and the waves are poor quality. Not worth getting excited about.
So overall? You’ve got one real shot on the morning of the 8th of August. Glassy, clean, head-high NE swell. It’s the only game in town. After that, it’s back to waiting.
