Cala Nova
Espagne · Balearic Islands
Cala Nova, on the east coast of Ibiza, is a spot known for its sessions in a very busy setting during the season. The bay attracts riders looking for accessible water with consistent wind when the right orientations come in.
The spot is appreciated for its simple and straightforward atmosphere, with navigation that can become really interesting when the east wind sets in well. However, it is important to keep in mind that access and practice may be subject to local restrictions depending on the period.

Cala Nova mainly works with an E to SE wind, which often arrives side-on to side-shore depending on the exact orientation on the beach. According to spot guides, the bay handles east wind well and can offer cleaner water when it is well established, with waves or chop depending on the current swell.
The water surface is less dependent on the tide compared to other spots, but reading the spot remains important due to the rocks and more exposed areas on the sides of the bay. Launching generally takes place from the beach, with a take-off area to be organized carefully due to sometimes limited space and summer traffic. One must remain attentive to the positioning of bathers, boats, and rocky areas close to the shore.
Available feedback converges on a more interesting spot with a steady east wind, capable of generating waves when the swell comes in. In lighter wind, the water surface becomes more irregular and can quickly take on chop. In high season, it is also necessary to check local regulations before kitesurfing, as several sources indicate that practice may be limited on beaches during the busiest months.
