The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a paddle. We’ve got a classic late summer flat spell settling in over Ibiza, so temper those expectations.
Looking at the whole picture, the first week is a total write-off. The energy is next to nothing for days on end, with the combined swell energy barely scraping a 1 or 2 (weak). Even when a tiny pulse shows up, the direction is mostly from the SE or E, which is the wrong angle for Cala Nova. The consistent glassy mornings are a painful tease – perfect conditions, but with absolutely no swell to work with. It’s not until September 9th that we see a real change, but it’s not a good one.
Wednesday the 9th sees a jump in size, with the swell hitting 5ft on the morning and 5ft in the afternoon. The combined energy does climb to a moderate 109 then 244, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore from the ENE and E (19-22 mph). That’s going to be lumpy, choppy, and pretty much unsurfable. Honestly, at that size and with that wind, this beach and reef setup is looking way more interesting for kite surfing than for a paddle. The water temp will be about average for this time of year.
After that blip, it’s back to tiny conditions. We get a brief moment on the morning of the 11th with clean, cross-offshore wind from the WSW, but the swell is a pathetic 2ft with a period of just 5 seconds – not enough to push you around. The morning of the 14th offers clean offshore wind from the NW, but again, the swell is only 1ft and from the NE, which is short-period and weak.
There’s absolutely no standout session in this 16-day forecast. The best you can hope for is a tiny, clean wave for a longboard or a SUP on the morning of the 11th or 14th, but don’t expect any power. The crowds won't be a problem because nobody else will be out there either.
Stay patient, boys and girls. This blank run happens, but forecasts can change.
Rusty.
