Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk surf. We’ve got one spot in the mix: Cala De Meron. It’s a beginner-friendly break, fairly consistent, and exposed to the northwest. The next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag.

Right off the bat, Saturday morning, August 29th, there’s some clouds and a light offshore breeze from the SSW. The swell is a clean 5 ft from the NW with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 270. By afternoon, it goes glassy with a NNE breeze, and that 4 ft NW swell is looking real clean. That Saturday afternoon session is the early standout – smooth, easy, and fun for a learner.

Sunday gets sloppy. The morning has a cross-shore wind, and the swell bumps to 5 ft, but the energy jumps to 355, and the quality drops. Sunday afternoon is a write-off with cross-on wind. Then Monday morning, August 31st, we get a gem: dead calm, glassy, and a 5 ft NW swell with a 10-second period. The energy is strong at 498, and it’s clean. That’s your best wave of the first week.

The week tapers off after that. Tuesday morning, September 1st, is still glassy with a 4 ft NW swell, but the energy drops to 243. From Wednesday, September 2nd, through Friday, September 4th, the swell crashes hard – down to 2 ft or 2 ft with very weak energy (44 to 80). The mornings are glassy, but the waves are tiny and ordinary. A quiet few days.

Saturday, September 5th, we get a pulse: 3 ft from the NNW, but the wind is cross-shore from the east. The energy climbs to 343, but it’s only marginal. By afternoon, the wind gets up to 12 mph, and the swell hits 4 ft with a 12-second period, pushing the energy to 590. That’s a lot of power, but the cross-shore chop makes it a mess for a beginner beach break. This one looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Then Sunday morning, September 6th, is a redemption. Glassy, a 3 ft swell from the north with a long 12-second period, and energy at 446. That’s a clean, long-period groundswell – a proper standout for the second week. The long period means it’ll have good shape, but it might break a bit straight at the beach. Still, for a beginner, it’s a fun, clean wave.

Monday, September 7th afternoon, brings another decent session – 4 ft NW swell, glassy, energy at 274. Tuesday, September 8th, sees the swell bump to 5 ft and then 5 ft, with periods up to 12 seconds, but the wind is cross-on or onshore, making it marginal. The energy hits 660, but the conditions aren’t clean.

Wednesday, September 9th, is the biggest swell of the run: 6 ft from the NNW with a 12-second period, and the energy is a beefy 1093. That’s strong wave energy, and it’s over 5 ft, so it’s too big for beginners. The wind is cross-shore from the east at 9 mph, putting a slight chop on it. This one is for the experienced crew.

The final standout is Thursday morning, September 10th – glassy, 5 ft from the NNW with an 11-second period, and energy at 415. Clean and solid. After that, the last few days drop off into small, ordinary, or wind-affected waves.

Best on offer: Monday morning, August 31st, for the cleanest combo of size and conditions, and Sunday morning, September 6th, for the long-period glassy gem. The rest is a waiting game.
