Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this stretch of coast isn't giving us much to work with. We’re looking at a long, flat, and pretty unremarkable 16-day window over at Cala De Meron.

The good news is the water is running a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, coming in at 71°F with a 4°F anomaly. That's notable—feels more like a late summer bath than an August dip. But that’s about where the excitement ends.

For the first stretch, through Thursday the 7th and into the weekend, we’re just not seeing anything worth paddling out for. Tiny, weak swell—nothing over 3ft—and the wind is mostly cross or onshore, keeping things a bit messy. There’s a brief moment on Saturday morning the 8th where it goes glassy, but the swell is basically nothing, so it’s not doing us any favors. There’s a real gap here, a solid 3-4 days of nothing on the table.

Come Monday the 10th, we finally see a change. The swell is still small, but the morning is glassy with a light NE breeze. It’s surfable, but honestly, it’s just "ordinary". The energy is weak, and the waves are small and unremarkable. The same story rolls through Tuesday and Wednesday—small, clean windows in the morning, but nothing with any push or power. The swell direction is mostly NNW to NW, which is okay, but the period is short, under 9 seconds, so it’s not going to have any real punch.

Then we hit another dry spell. From the 13th through the 16th, it's a ghost town. Small 1-2ft waves, some glassy mornings, but just no energy behind them. The 15th has a little cross-off wind that cleans it up, but the swell is still just too weak to be worth the effort.

Now, looking ahead to next week, there’s a slight pulse of hope. On Monday the 17th, the morning is glassy again with a bump to 2ft, but the real change comes on Tuesday the 18th. The swell climbs to 3ft from the NNW with a period of 9 seconds, and the energy picks up to a moderate level. It’s still not big, but it’s the most interesting the surf has looked all period. The wind is light and the morning is glassy—that’s our best shot at a real wave, though it’s still a small, clean day rather than anything epic.

There’s another similar pulse on Thursday the 20th, with 3ft of NNW groundswell at 11 seconds and even more energy. That long period is something, but for a beach break like this, it might be a bit too straight. Still, if the winds stay light like the forecast suggests, it could be clean and lined up. That’s the one to keep an eye on, but I’d call it promising rather than a sure thing.

So, bottom line: we’ve got a long stretch of nothing, a couple of average mornings early on, and then a real chance on the 18th and 20th. It’s not a vintage fortnight, but it’s not a total disaster either. Stay patient, check the buoys, and be ready to move on those glassy mornings when the swell finally shows up.

Rusty, out.
