The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Ibiza's Cala Nova over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook is a bit of a flat spell for the most part. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf with marginal conditions. For the first twelve days, from Saturday 8th August through to Wednesday 20th August, the swell is just not happening. We're talking ankle-snappers at best, with heights barely kicking up to 3 ft on the afternoon of Monday 10th, but that's getting chopped up by a cross-onshore breeze. The combined wave energy is pitiful, barely cracking 49 (weak energy) on that Monday. The water is a balmy 84°F, which is a massive 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a bath out there, but with no waves to cool off in.
The only real glimmer of hope, and I mean a glimmer, shows up on Friday 21st August. The morning brings a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the north at 6 mph, with the swell picking up to 4 ft from the east, with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 65 (weak energy). It's still not going to be epic, but it'll be the most rideable surf of the whole period. The waves will be a bit weak and short-period, which means they won't have much push, but at least the wind is right. The afternoon sees the wind swing onshore and the quality drops again.
So, if you're desperate for a paddle, focus on that Friday morning the 21st. It's your best bet, but keep the expectations low. For the rest of the run, you're better off on a SUP or just enjoying the beach.
Rusty.
