The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Cala Nova over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you—this is a rough stretch. We're looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple to get excited about. The first real chance of anything decent doesn't show up until the very end of the period. For the vast majority of this 16-day window, from now right through to late August, the surf is flat or close to it, with poor conditions ruling the roost. We're talking about a solid two-week gap where you'd be better off taking up a new sport.
The good news, if you can call it that, arrives on Friday, the 21st of August. That afternoon we finally see a pulse of swell creep in, with waves around 3ft coming from the ESE. The combined swell energy is still pretty weak at only 57, but it's the best we've got. Winds are light and cross-off from the WSW, which should keep things reasonably clean. It’s a small window for the absolute beginner crew, as the break is a beach and reef setup and exposed to that SE swell direction. The water is about average for the time of year.
Now, if you’re desperate, the morning of Friday the 21st sees cleaner conditions but with even smaller waves at 2ft. The following Saturday morning, the 22nd of August, is glassy with 2ft waves, but again, barely worth the paddle.
A word of warning for the Thursday the 20th of August afternoon: a strong offshore breeze from the NNW is blowing at 28 mph. It’ll be clean, but it’s going to be a nightmare to paddle into anything, and the period is a short 3 seconds, making it difficult. Honestly, the setup here looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the persistent onshore winds and small, weak waves.
So, to sum it up: the standout moment is that Friday afternoon on the 21st of August. It's not going to be epic, but it's the only time in the forecast that offers a glimpse of something surfable. The rest of the time, leave the board at home.
Rusty.
