Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what we’ve got on the cards for the next couple of weeks. Straight up, it’s a tough outlook for Ibiza – Cala Nova. The whole 16-day window is basically a flat spell with barely any energy. Don't hold your breath, because for the first several days, there is nothing surfable. You’re looking at a long stretch of nearly no swell, with tiny little waves and poor conditions. Honestly, the only time the water shows a pulse of any real size is around the second weekend, but even then, it’s nothing to write home about.

We’ve got a little bit of something stirring from the morning of Saturday the 12th of July, and that might be the best you’ll get. Early that morning, a moderate cross-shore wind comes in from the ENE at 16 mph while a 6 ft swell from the ESE (period 6 seconds) rolls in, carrying moderate combined energy at (198). That’s a bit of size, but it’s gonna be lumpy and cross-chop – not clean. For beginners, 6 ft is pushing it a touch. Then by the afternoon of the 12th, there’s a shift. The wind goes glassy, light from the SE at 3 mph, and the swell drops to 4 ft from the same ESE direction (6 seconds), energy moderate at (117). Conditions clean right up, glassy surface. This is the only window in the whole outlook where conditions are surfable without major wind issues. It’s still nothing epic – just ordinary waves – but if you want to paddle out, that Sunday afternoon is your moment. Crowds possible at Cala Nova though, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.

Now, a word on the water. When we discuss Cala Nova, the water temperature on the 4th of July (Saturday afternoon) is 80°F, about 6° warmer than average for the time of year. That’s very unusual – much warmer than normal, so you might not even need a wetsuit.

Through the rest of the second week, hope fades. Conditions hang onto tiny 1.0 ft to 2 ft swells with almost no energy, and there are days with clean and glassy surface (like the morning of the 18th), but the waves just aren’t there. That’s the reality of this stretch. For this area, a run this flat isn’t totally out of character, but it’s still frustrating. I’d say keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change. But for now, this is what we’ve got.

Rusty.

Information about the Ibiza - Cala Nova Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Ibiza - Cala Nova provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ibiza - Cala Nova can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

If you surf the same spot (Ibiza - Cala Nova) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Ibiza - Cala Nova may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
