Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Cala De Meron.

Right off the bat, things are looking pretty flat and quiet. The next week or so is a real struggle. From Tuesday the 28th of July all the way through to the morning of Thursday the 6th of August, we’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and mostly messy conditions. The swell is tiny, often under 3ft, and the wind is almost always cross or cross-onshore, keeping things bumpy. There’s a short window on Thursday morning, the 30th of July, where it goes glassy, but the swell is only 2ft with weak energy, so it’s pretty ordinary. You might get a knee-high wave, but don’t expect much.

Then, things get interesting. The standout surf finally shows up on Friday the 7th of August. The morning of the 7th is where it’s at. We’ve got a solid 7ft swell from the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a moderate amount of energy pumping in, and the wind is glassy – dead calm. That’s a major positive; it’ll be clean. This is the best session on offer. The size is getting up there, so it’s more for experienced surfers, but the conditions are looking excellent. Later that afternoon, it drops to 7ft and the wind goes cross-onshore, so get in the water early.

Saturday the 8th still has some pulse, with a 4ft swell from the north in the morning, but the wind is cross-shore, and the energy drops. It’s surfable, but not the standout.

The water temperature is sitting at 69°, which is about 1° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s a touch warm – nothing to worry about.

So, to wrap it up: the first week is a write-off, but mark your calendar for Friday the 7th of August. The glassy morning with a 7ft, NNW swell is the real deal. For a beginner spot, this swell is a bit too big once it gets over 5ft, but if you’re comfortable, that morning window is clean. Crowds are *sometimes* a problem here, so on a day that good, expect company.

Rusty.
