Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for waves at Cala De Meron. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf and a fair bit of chop to contend with. The swell energy is mostly weak—like 27 on Wednesday morning, and even the moderate spikes like 143 on Thursday afternoon and 216 on Monday the 10th don’t bring any real quality. It’s a slow burn, but there are a couple of windows where it might just be worth a paddle.

The first real chance doesn’t come until Sunday morning, the 9th. We’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the NNW with a bit more period, and the wind is glassy. It’s surfable, but very ordinary—you’re looking at knee-to-waist high dribble. The water temp is 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit.

Monday the 10th morning is similar—2ft from the NNW, glassy, and a bit more energy in the water (101). Still small, but clean. The afternoon picks up some period (12 seconds) and energy (216), but the onshore wind kills it. Not worth it.

After that, it’s a wasteland of cross-shore and cross-onshore breezes, with tiny swell in the 1ft to 2ft range. The period drops off, and the energy is mostly weak. You’re better off doing something else.

There’s a bit of a pulse around the 15th and 16th—swell bumps up to 3ft to 3ft from the NNW, but the wind is either cross or cross-on, and the period is short (8 seconds). It’ll be lumpy and uninviting.

The standout windows are the mornings of the 17th and 18th. On the 17th, we get 3ft from the NNW with glassy conditions—still small, but at least it’s clean. The 18th morning is similar, 2ft from the NW, glassy, and the energy is moderate (66). These are your best bets, but they’re not going to blow anyone away.

Looking further out, the 19th morning picks up a bit more size—4ft from the NNW with a 9-second period and moderate energy (261). The wind is light cross-shore, so it might have some shape, but it’s still marginal. After that, the 20th morning has 3ft from the NW, glassy, but the energy drops back down.

Honestly, for a beginner spot, most of this is rideable but not inspiring. The period is short, so it’ll be a bit crumbly. If you’re desperate, hit the glassy mornings—the 9th, 10th, 17th, and 18th. The surf is small, but at least it’s clean. The bigger pulses on the 19th are still on the small side, and the wind is just okay. It’s a waiting game.

There are no true standouts here. The best on offer is the 19th morning, but it’s a “promising but not certain” call that far out. Keep your expectations low, and you won’t be disappointed.

Rusty.
