Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks. We're focusing on one spot: Cala De Meron, and if I'm being straight with you, it's a pretty quiet picture overall. The water here is running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at 71° with a notable anomaly of 4° above average, so it's a pleasant paddle if nothing else.

The first half of the period is a bit of a snooze. We kick off Friday, the 7th, with tiny, weak swell around 2 ft from the north, but the wind is all wrong and the surf is just poor. Saturday the 8th is glassy in the morning, which is a treat to look at, but the swell is a mere 2 ft with next to no energy (24). It's the same story through Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday – glassy mornings, but the waves are small and the comments are "surfable but very ordinary." You'll get some clean, knee-high dribbles, but nothing to write home about.

Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th are similar, with glassy conditions giving way to onshore winds, and the swell barely tickles 2 ft. We then hit a long stretch of poor conditions all the way through to the 17th. The swell does bump up a touch on the 14th–16th, with combined energy reaching 104 on the 14th morning and 100 on the 17th, but the wind is cross or cross-on, and the waves are messy. The 16th afternoon sees a bit of a jump to 4 ft, but it's a short-period windswell from the northwest at 5 seconds, and the rain is on top of it. Not worth rushing out for.

The second week shows a little more promise but still feels like a holding pattern. From Tuesday the 18th through Thursday the 20th, we get some glassy and clean windows in the mornings. The swell sits around 3 ft from the northwest, with moderate energy (around 96–120). These are the best windows of the whole forecast. The morning of the 19th looks clean with a light cross-offshore wind and a combined energy of 115, which is the most promising session if you're desperate for a glide. That said, it's still only small, beginner-friendly small.

The real standout, and I mean the *only* standout in the whole 16 days, is the morning of Saturday the 22nd. Now, this is a long-range call, so take it with a pinch of salt, but it's got some punch. The swell jumps to 5 ft from the northwest with a period of 10 seconds, pushing combined energy right up to 485. That's a serious amount of energy coming through. However, and it's a big however, the wind is a cross-shore at 15 mph, which will put a chop on it. For a beginner beach like Cala De Meron (Spain), this is going to be a powerful, chunky mess. It's more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers, to be honest. If you're an expert, there might be a few decent ones, but the wind is going to be a battle.

The bottom line is this: the forecast is mostly flat and poor. The morning of the 19th offers the cleanest, most rideable small waves, and the 22nd has the size but is blown out. This is a classic case of a long wait for not much reward. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a quiet period for the region.

Rusty.
