Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the pipeline for Cala De Meron over the next couple of weeks. I'll be straight with you: it’s a bit of a flat spell to start, and we’re going to have to be patient.

Looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s no real standout session that’s going to get the heart racing. The first half of the forecast is dominated by small, weak swell with poor to marginal conditions. The water temperature is sitting at 71°, which is a notable 5° warmer than what’s normal for this time of year.

The first few days are a write-off for a proper surf. We’ve got some small stuff on the 22nd of July, with a 5ft swell from the NE, but the period is a short 6 seconds and the combined energy is weak (213). Combine that with a cross-shore wind, and it’s just messy. Through the 23rd and 24th, we’re looking at tiny waves, 3ft or less, with more onshore wind. There’s a small pulse on the afternoon of the 24th, 4ft from the NNW, but the period is even shorter at 5 seconds and the energy is still low (112). It’s a struggle.

There’s a slight pickup around the 27th of July. Monday morning sees a 5ft swell from the NNW with a much longer period of 9 seconds, and the energy jumps to 424 (moderate). That’s more like it in size and period, but the wind is cross-onshore from the ENE, so it’ll be bumpy. The afternoon cleans up a touch with a cross-shore breeze, but the swell drops to 4ft. It’s on the cusp of being okay, but only just, and the data says the conditions were poor.

The best we see in this whole run is a couple of glassy mornings, but with hardly any swell. On Wednesday the 29th of July, the morning goes glassy with a 2ft, 9-second swell from the NNW (energy 77 - weak). It’s surfable, but you’ll be scratching for waves. Saturday the 1st of August has another glassy morning, with a slightly better 3ft, 10-second swell from the NW (energy 185 - still weak). That’s the pick of the bunch for me, but it’s a waiting game for a set. Monday the 3rd of August also has a glassy morning, with a 4ft, 9-second swell from the NW (energy 184). It’s a similar story – small, clean, but not much power.

Honestly, the only time the swell really gets any push is on the 27th, and even then the conditions let it down. There’s nothing over 5ft that’s clean, so it’s never too big for the beginners, but the lack of quality and size is the real issue.

So, the summary is: we have a long gap of poor conditions from now until late July, with only a handful of glassy, tiny days in the first week of August to keep you company. It’s not a great run, but it’s fairly typical for a quiet spell. Keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change. But for now, my best advice is don’t rush out on this one.

Rusty.
