Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

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

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but the second half of the run has some proper potential. For a beginner-friendly spot, Cala De Meron is our only game in town, and it’s a mixed bag. The water temp is sitting at a pretty standard 69°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first few days are pretty flat and ordinary. There’s a pulse of moderate energy on Monday the 31st of August, with a 5ft NW swell, but the conditions are marginal. Not worth getting too excited about. You’ll get a better look on Tuesday the 1st of September morning. That’s the first real standout. The swell drops to a cleaner 4ft from the NW, but the wind goes glassy, NE at 6 mph. That’s going to make for some clean little waves for the beginners. The energy is moderate (295), so there’s enough push to have fun.

After that, it goes pretty quiet for a solid week. Lots of small, weak, and choppy surf. There’s a few glassy mornings on the 4th and 6th of September, but the swell is tiny, under 3ft. Nothing to write home about. You’ll be twiddling your thumbs.

The next real standout is Saturday the 5th of September, but it’s a bit of a tease. There’s a big jump in energy in the afternoon, with a strong 5ft NNW groundswell (period 13 seconds) and a very strong energy reading (800). The problem is the wind is a messy cross-shore, so the quality is marginal. It’s there, but it won’t be pristine. If you’re a beginner, the 5ft might be pushing your comfort zone, but more experienced surfers might find a few.

The next good opportunity arrives on Thursday the 10th of September morning. Another pulse of solid NW swell, 6ft, with moderate energy (555). The wind is light from the east, just a slight cross, so it’ll be a bit lumpy but rideable. That’s an intermediate to expert wave size.

But the absolute best bet, the one you want to circle on your calendar, is Tuesday the 15th of September. This is the highlight of the entire outlook. We’ve got a very clean morning forecast with glassy conditions (NW wind at 3 mph) and a solid 5ft NNW groundswell with a long 12 second period. The combined energy is very strong at 862. For a spot that is exposed to the NNW, this is the sweet spot. The swell direction matches perfectly. The waves will have proper shape and power, but with that glass, it’ll be beautiful. Just be aware, this is a beginner-friendly spot, and 5ft is getting up there for total novices. It’s a solid head-high + day for the experienced crew.

So, if you’re a beginner, aim for the glassy morning of Tuesday the 1st of September. If you’ve got some experience and want the best waves, hold out for Tuesday the 15th of September. That’s the winner.

Rusty.
