Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s coming.

Water temp is about 71°F, and that’s a touch warmer than usual for the season – you’ll feel it when you get in.

The start is flat and quiet. Tuesday the 25th – nothing going on. Wednesday the 26th morning has a small 2ft swell from the WNW with a weak 6-second period, but the breeze is clean and cross-off, so it’s at least rideable. Tiny and ordinary. Thursday the 27th morning has a 3ft NW swell, 8 seconds, but cross-shore wind makes it messy and poor. Thursday afternoon goes glassy with a 3ft NW swell – surfable but nothing exciting.

Friday the 28th morning jumps to 7ft from the WNW, 8-second period, with a clean cross-off wind from WSW. Combined energy is moderate at 541, but the size makes it too much for beginners. It’s marginal with wind and tide. Friday afternoon goes onshore and choppy at 8ft – not worth the hassle.

Saturday the 29th morning is the first real standout. Glassy conditions, 4ft from the NNW, 8-second period – clean. Combined energy is moderate at 240. Calm wind. This is the pick of the first week – fun for intermediates and above.

Sunday the 30th morning is glassy again, 4ft NW at 8 seconds, but only ordinary surf – you can ride it but don’t expect much.

Monday the 31st – swell picks up to 5ft NW with an 11-second period, energy at 416, but cross-on wind both sessions leaves it marginal. The longer period gives it more push but the wind spoils the surface.

Tuesday September 1st is similar – 5ft NW, 10 seconds, cross winds, marginal. Wednesday September 2nd morning goes glassy with a 4ft NW swell (10 seconds) and combined energy of 384 – a clean, decent session for intermediates. That afternoon turns cross-on again.

From Thursday the 3rd through to Sunday the 7th September, it’s poor – mostly cross-on or onshore wind, small weak swells, or messy conditions. A gap of several days with no recommendation.

Then Monday the 8th of September morning – massive. A 10ft NW swell, 15-second period, and combined energy at 4827, with calm wind. But the swell is predicted to be too big for this break – experts only, and even then it’s a question. That kind of long-period groundswell will be powerful but dangerous. The afternoon drops to 8ft with cross-on wind, still big.

Wednesday the 9th of September morning looks like the cleanest option after that big pulse. Glassy with a 5ft NNW swell, 8 seconds, combined energy at 291 – good, clean waves for competent surfers.

For beginners, the only small windows are around Wednesday the 26th or Saturday the 29th morning, but those are small. Once the swell goes over 5ft, it’s not for learners.

Standouts: Saturday the 29th of August morning – glassy, clean 4ft NNW. And Wednesday the 9th of September morning for a clean, waist-to-chest high session.

The 8th of September is huge and clean, but only for the brave.

Rusty.
