The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a long, hard look at the surf prospects for Mallorca - Cala Ratjada over the next sixteen days. I’m gonna be straight with you – this is a quiet one.
Right off the bat, there’s no surf on offer for almost the entire first two weeks. We’re looking at a gap that stretches all the way from the start of the period on the 13th of September through to the 24th. That’s about twelve days with basically nothing to ride. The conditions are clean on many of those mornings, with light or even glassy winds, but without a drop of swell, it’s a total flat spell. Perfect for a swim, but not for a paddle out.
The first flicker of anything happens on the afternoon of the 25th of September. Even then, it’s a marginal situation. Swell comes in from the NE at a humble 4ft, but the period is short. The wind is light and onshore, and the combined energy is just moderate (225). It’s not a day to get excited about, more a sign that the ocean is still alive.
Mallorca - Cala Ratjada is a beach and reef setup that prefers a swell from the SE. The only time we see a swell from that side is on the 22nd and 23rd of September, but those are tiny, weak pulses. The best looking day, relatively speaking, is the morning of the 19th of September. The swell jumps to 4ft from the E, but it’s only a 6-second period, so it’s going to be weak and mushy. The cross wind won’t help. This break is inconsistent at the best of times, and this confirms it: you’re waiting a long time for very little.
Honestly, the pickings are so slim there isn’t a true standout. If I had to point to the one session that might be worth a look for a beginner just wanting to bob around, it’s the morning of the 28th of September. We get a small 1ft swell from the NE with a 7-second period, but the wind is glassy. The combined energy is weak (21), but with no wind and some tiny crumbly waves, a longboard could have a little fun if you’re desperate.
For the rest, it’s a long blank run. When the surf is this absent, you gotta just enjoy the sun and know that forecasts can change. For now, keep your board in the car and your expectations low.
Rusty.
