Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Cala De Meron over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a bit of a slow burn, but there’s a real gem hiding in the second week if you’ve got the patience.

We’re starting off with a pretty flat and messy picture. For the first few days, from Sunday the 26th right through to the end of July, the swell is just a lot of weak, short-period windswell. Honestly, it’s a write-off. The water temp is sitting at 69°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so that’s one thing you can’t complain about. The wind is mostly cross or cross-on, and the wave energy is all over the place, going from a weak 93 (sorry, that’s nothing) up to a moderate 399. But the wave comment says it all: “poor surf conditions.” You’d be wasting your time.

The first week of August doesn’t offer much relief. Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd are still small and poor. Monday the 3rd brings a little more energy (154), but it’s still cross-on and choppy. It’s a solid stretch of nothing.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Keep your eyes on Tuesday the 4th of August. The morning is shaping up to be our first real standout. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the NW, and the wind is glass – dead calm. That’s a major positive. The water will be like a mirror, and the waves should have some shape. The combined energy is a solid 275, which is moderate and punchy. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, and with those conditions, it’ll be a great morning for a long session. The Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th fall back into mediocrity, though Thursday afternoon does go glassy again on a tiny 2ft swell – not worth getting excited about.

But the real crown jewel? That’s Sunday the 9th of August. Mark it down. The morning brings a very clean 4ft swell from the north, with a period of 11 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. And the wind is glass again. The combined energy is a strong 600, so there’s plenty of push. The swell direction is NNW, which is spot-on for this break. This is your best bet for clean, well-shaped waves. Just keep in mind, with a 4ft wave and that long period, it’ll be a bit more powerful than it looks, and the sets might be a little spread out, but the trade-off is clean faces.

The Saturday the 8th has some size, nearly 7ft, but the wind is howling cross-on at 16 mph, making it a choppy mess. That’s more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle day. By Sunday the 10th, it’s back to small stuff.

So, to sum it up: the first week and a half are a write-off. The only two windows worth paddling out are Tuesday morning, August 4th for a small, clean, glassy session, and the absolute standout is Sunday morning, August 9th for a proper, clean, strong groundswell. That’s the one to wait for. The rest is just a waiting game.

Rusty.
