Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.

We’re starting off with a bit of a quiet spell, so don’t rush to grab your board just yet. The first few days are a write-off – Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th are a mix of poor surf conditions and small, weak swell. You’ll be waiting for Friday the 28th before anything even gets a sniff of being worthwhile.

Friday morning the 28th sees a bit of a pulse. Waves around 3 ft from the NW with a period of 10 seconds, and a light SSW cross-offshore wind. That’s your first real chance, and the water’s sitting at 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The combined swell energy is moderate at 219. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s clean. Come Friday afternoon, the wind swings to the WNW at 12 mph and the swell jumps to 7 ft, but that’s a messy cross-shore chop (energy 908). That’s more for the experienced crew – maybe even kite surfers with that wind.

Saturday the 29th morning is glassy with a 4 ft NW swell but the period is short at 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit weak and crumbly. Energy is 174. Saturday afternoon gets light cross-onshore and it’s back to poor surf.

Sunday the 30th morning offers a 5 ft NW swell at 10 seconds with light cross-onshore wind – energy is 521, so moderate energy, but the wind isn’t doing you any favours. Sunday afternoon is onshore from the NNW so it’s a mess.

Now, Monday the 31st morning is looking like a standout. Glassy conditions, wind from the north at just 3 mph, and a clean 5 ft NW swell with a 10-second period. Energy is moderate at 487. That’s your best bet for this first week – clean, solid, and head-high. Get in the water early.

Tuesday the 1st of September morning is glassy again with a 4 ft NW swell, but it’s a little smaller. Still clean. Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are tiny and mostly glassy but nothing to get excited about. Friday the 4th is flat and poor.

Then we get a bit of a long-range treat. Saturday the 5th of September morning: glassy, 4 ft NW swell with a period of 12 seconds – that’s a longer period groundswell, meaning more push and shape. Energy is 451. This one’s promising but it’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it.

Sunday the 6th morning is glassy with 3 ft from the NNW at 11 seconds, but the afternoon brings a 5 ft NNW swell at 14 seconds – energy 924! That’s strong energy, but the wind is light cross-onshore, so it might be a bit lumpy. Still, that long period at 14 seconds is a proper groundswell. For a point break like Cala De Meron, that’s going to hold up nicely.

The real standout in the second week is Monday the 7th of September morning. Glassy conditions, 5 ft from the NNW at 12 seconds, and energy at 603. That’s a solid, clean swell with good period. The wind is offshore from the NE at just 3 mph. That’s the one to circle on the calendar – quality surf.

Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th drop off with poor conditions and short-period junk. Then Thursday the 10th of September morning shows a bit of life again: glassy, 4 ft NW swell at 11 seconds, energy 350. Clean but not a standout.

So, bottom line: this week, Monday the 31st morning is your best call. Next week, keep your eyes on Monday the 7th of September morning. The long period swells on the 6th and 7th are looking good for a point break like Cala De Meron, but remember, long period groundswells can sometimes make beach breaks a bit too lined up.

Rusty.
