Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

First up, water temps at Cala De Meron are sitting at 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The next week and a half is a bit of a mixed bag, so we’ll need to pick our moments.

We start off with a bit of a slow grind. Monday the 24th has some tiny 3ft surf from the NNE, but with a storm risk and that short period of 6 seconds, it’s not really worth getting excited about. Tuesday morning the 25th is a total washout with barely 0.7ft. Things stay pretty ordinary through Wednesday and Thursday with small, weak waves. The energy through this early period is low, with combined swell energy readings mostly in the double digits (63, 41, 32, 54, 19, 92). Not great.

Friday the 28th morning sees a noticeable bump – 4ft from the NW with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 409 (moderate). The problem is the wind is cross, so it’s a bit lumpy. Friday afternoon gets a bit bigger at 5ft but the wind goes cross-on, making it choppy and messy. Not the one.

Now, here’s a proper standout. Saturday morning the 29th is looking sweet. We’ve got clean 3ft waves from the NNW, period of 9 seconds, and the wind is dead calm – glassy. The combined energy reads 241 (moderate), and the forecast is for good surf conditions. This is your window for a clean, fun session. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

The next real highlight is a big one, but it’s a long way off. Monday morning the 31st of August has 5ft from the NW, period of 9 seconds, and glassy conditions. The combined energy is 440 (moderate). This looks like a solid morning. Tuesday the 1st of September morning also looks good with 4ft, glassy, and a period of 10 seconds.

But the absolute best of the whole forecast is waiting for us on Tuesday morning, the 8th of September. This is a serious groundswell. 4ft from the NW, but with a *very long* period of 17 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 1084 (very strong). This is an excellent, powerful swell for experienced surfers. The wind is glassy – perfect. This is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the charts, but the potential is huge. That afternoon it gets a bit bigger at 5ft, same direction, period of 16 seconds, energy at 1126, but the wind goes onshore, so the morning is the call.

Before that, there’s a bit of a dry spell from the 2nd of September through the 7th, with small, weak, and messy conditions. Nothing worth writing home about.

So, to sum it up: if you want a clean, fun session this week, Saturday morning the 29th of August is your best bet. But if you’re an experienced surfer looking for a proper, powerful groundswell, mark your calendar for Tuesday morning the 8th of September – that’s the one.

Stay stoked,
Rusty
