The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down this 16-day stretch for Cala Nova. I'll be honest, it's a rough outlook. The swell energy is flat-out weak, with most days barely registering a pulse. The combined wave energy values are very low, often in single digits. There's no standout period of good surf to get excited about.
The forecast starts with a gap. There is simply no surf to recommend for the first several days. Thursday the 23rd starts with just 0.7ft of swell and a combined energy of only (1), which is not even worth paddling out for. This flat spell continues right through the end of July. The wind is occasionally glassy or clean, but there's no wave to push you around on.
Moving into the first week of August, things remain bleak. On Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd, we see tiny 2ft to 2ft swell, but the wind is cross-onshore, making it a mess. The swell energy is still very weak (12) at best.
The best shot – and I'm using that term loosely – comes on Wednesday the 5th of August. The morning shows a combined energy of (58) from a 3ft SE swell with a 6-second period. The wind is cross-offshore from the N at a light 9 mph (light breeze), which will keep the surface clean. Given how flat everything else is, this is the only window that might offer a few small, rideable waves for the absolute beginner. Even then, the swell is tiny, and it's a long way off, so don't get your hopes up. The water temperature anomaly was noted at 3° on the 23rd, meaning the water is much warmer than usual for the time of year, but with no waves, that's cold comfort. After that, it fades back to near nothing for the rest of the outlook.
Because nearly every day is poor and the swell is so small and weak, you're looking at a long, blank run. This is pretty normal for this area in the summer – it's a place that waits for a bigger pulse. For now, the setup looks far more interesting for a paddleboard than a surfboard, and if the wind picks up, maybe even a kite. Keep an eye on the forecasts; it tends not to stay this poor forever.
Rusty.
