Wave kite spot on the northeast coast of Ibiza at Cala Nova. Shore normal NE (50°). E and NE winds onshore — strong and consistent. High waves; advanced riders. Best in spring when Tramontana / NE blows. Summer thermal E afternoons also work.
Cala Nova is a northeast-facing cove on Ibiza's northeastern coastline, oriented directly into the E and NE winds that dominate this stretch of the Balearic coast. The shore sits at roughly 50° from north, lining it up cleanly for easterly swell and wind to arrive together. That combination defines this spot: a committed wave kite venue, not a flat-water session. The launch is off the beach directly into open water. Conditions can build fast when the wind is up, so take a few minutes to read the water before you rig and commit. Getting to Cala Nova from Ibiza's main centres means heading to the northeastern corner of the island, where roads bring you down to the beach. Spring is the dominant season. When the Tramontana or a strong NE pattern pushes in, Cala Nova delivers proper wave conditions — consistent, powerful, and honest. The usable kite window runs from 345° (north-northwest) around to 115° (east-southeast), with E and NE being the productive directions. On good spring days the swell lines up with the wind and experienced wave kiters get long, committed runs with real wave faces to work with. The onshore direction means fresh energy keeps arriving — there's no waiting around for sets to swing in from the side. Summer brings a different character. Afternoon thermals from the east can switch on sessions when mornings look still. They're typically lighter and more variable than the spring pattern, but worth checking in July and August if you're on the island. Some afternoons build into proper, rideable conditions. This is an advanced rider's spot. Onshore wind combined with high waves means you need solid self-rescue skills, confident kite control in surf, and the ability to manage real power. There's no straightforward downwind exit when conditions are running — plan accordingly and be honest with yourself about your level before you launch. Riders who are ready for it will find a swell experience that rewards good wave technique. For food and drinks, the spot is well supported. Beach Bar and 2TT sit close to the action for a post-session drink. Restaurants in the area include Aianna, Aiyanna Ibiza, Cafeteria Montemar, Can Xarc, and Es Fumeral — a solid spread for lunch or dinner. For accommodation, Camping Cala Nova and Camping Cala Nova Ibiza both put you right at the beach; BLESS Ibiza Cala Nova offers something more comfortable nearby.
