The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin'.
First up, the outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one. We're looking at a stretch of flat, weak conditions for Ibiza's Cala Nova, a beach and reef setup that's exposed to swell. The water is sitting at a very warm 84°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year. That's the good news. The bad news is there's barely a wave to be found.
The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any proper surf. We're talking a solid gap from the start right through to the end of the period with no real swell on offer. The wave energy is practically non-existent. The highest combined swell energy we see is a weak 61 (from a 3ft, 5-second easterly windswell on the afternoon of the 9th of August), but even that comes with a "poor surf conditions" tag and a choppy, cross-onshore wind. That's not surfable. The rest of the time the energy is in the single digits or low double digits, with wave heights barely reaching 1ft to 3ft and short periods.
We get a few glassy mornings on the 7th, 12th, 13th, and 20th of August, but with no swell height to speak of – just 0.3ft to 1ft – it's flat calm, not surfable. The wind occasionally goes light or glassy, which would be a major positive if there was any swell, but there isn't.
For beginners, the swell never even gets close to 5ft, so it's not too big, but it's also not enough to ride. For experts, there's nothing to paddle into.
To be honest, this looks more like a stretch for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer if anything kicks up, given the beach setup and onshore winds. But with the combined energy values staying weak to non-existent, even that's a stretch.
There are no standouts here. The best you can hope for is a complete change in the forecast, because right now, the board stays in the car.
Rusty.
