The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at what’s cookin’ for Ibiza’s Cala Nova over the next couple of weeks. Let’s be straight with each other – it’s a quiet start.
Right now, we’re lookin’ at a whole lot of flatness. The first few days are just a washout. Tiny, weak swells bumpin’ in at 0.7ft to 1.0ft with periods barely hittin’ 4 seconds. The combined energy is weak, sittin’ between 1 and 3 (very weak). Winds are mostly cross or cross-on, and the conditions are just… poor. You aren’t missin’ a thing. Even the Wednesday morning glass-off on the 22nd with 1.0ft won’t give you a ride worth paddlin’ for. This stretch runs from Sunday the 19th all the way through to the morning of Thursday the 30th of July with no real surf to speak of – a solid 11-day gap.
Now, we finally get a little pulse of life on Friday, the 31st of July. The morning shows a 3ft ENE swell with a period of 7 seconds, kickin’ the combined energy up to 136 (moderate). That’s the biggest bump we see. It’s glassy that morning, with a light SE breeze at 3 mph – clean conditions. It’s a small wave, but it’s the best look we get. The water’s about 83°, which is much warmer than typical for this time of year – that’s over 5° above normal, so it’s a proper anomaly. After that, it drops off again. The afternoon turns onshore and choppy, and the surf fades back to tiny, weak dribbles for the rest of the run into August.
So, if you’re itchin’ for anything, your only real shot is the morning of Friday, July 31st. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the one moment where the stars line up for a clean, glassy session on a small, surfable wave. The rest of the window is a write-off for paddle surfing. With the wind and the tiny swell, this setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Rusty.
