The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough one to call, but I've had a good look at the numbers for Cala Nova (Ibiza), and I have to be straight with you. Over the next 16 days, it's looking like a real desert out there. The truth is, there are no good surf options on the table for this stretch.
We start off with nothing. The first few days are a write-off. From the 13th of July right through to the morning of the 24th of July, it's just a long, flat, and frustrating gap. We're talking about tiny, weak, and messy waves, if any. The combined energy barely gets into double digits (36) on the 13th, and it mostly sits in the single digits for days on end. That's just not enough to push a surfer around.
The only real blip on the radar comes on the morning of Friday the 24th of July. There's a bit of a pulse of energy from the ESE, pushing the swell up to 4ft with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 94, which is still weak, but it's something. The wind is light and cross-off from the NNE, which will keep the surface clean. It's a beach and reef setup, so it's exposed, but with that short period, it's not going to have much shape. It's a beginner-friendly size, but let's be honest, it's barely surfable. The file rates it as "very ordinary", and I'm not going to argue.
If you're desperate, the morning of the 25th of July has a glassy 3ft from the same ESE direction, but again, the energy (64) is weak and the period is short. It's just not doing much.
Honestly, for a spot like this, a blank run of this length is pretty normal. It's a tough time of year for consistent swell here. The water is much warmer than usual at 82°, so the swimming is great, but the surfing is not. If you're really jonesing for a paddle, keep an eye on the forecasts, because it can't stay this poor forever. But right now, I wouldn't bother waxing up.
