Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a bit of a slow start on our hands for Cala De Meron. The surf picks up on Sunday the 13th but then fades fast, leaving a few days of flatness before a solid pulse of swell arrives for the experienced crew in the back half of the week.

Alright, let’s get into it. The first real call is Sunday morning the 13th. It’s a beauty of a morning, clear skies and a light 6 mph cross-off breeze from the ESE. The swell is a clean 4 ft and it’s coming from the NNW with a nice 12-second period. The wave energy is moderate (494). This is the pick of the early days – proper conditions for a beginner-friendly wave. Water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing to worry about there.

Monday morning the 14th drops off quick. The swell is down to 3 ft with a 10-second period and a light cross breeze. It’s just too small to get excited about.

Then we hit a quiet patch. From Tuesday the 15th through to Thursday the 17th, the swell stays small and the wind turns onshore or choppy. There are a couple of moments – Wednesday morning the 16th sees a glassy 4 ft swell with a 3 mph SSW breeze, but the period is short (8 seconds) and the energy is only moderate (225). It’s rideable but not worth a dedicated trip.

Friday morning the 18th brings another glassy moment, with a light WSW breeze and a 3 ft NW swell (271 energy). Clean but small.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. From Friday afternoon the 18th through to Saturday the 19th, the swell really kicks up. Friday afternoon sees a jump to 7 ft from the NNW with a long 14-second period. The energy is strong (1470) but the wind turns cross-onshore, so it’s a bit messy.

The standout of the whole outlook is Saturday morning the 19th. Clear skies, a glassy 3 mph breeze from the E, and a solid 6 ft swell from the NNW with a long 14-second period. The wave energy is very strong (1280). This one is rated excellent for experienced surfers – it’s a proper groundswell with serious power. That long period will make it wall up nicely at this exposed spot, but it also means longer waits between sets. Not one for beginners.

Sunday the 20th keeps the size up with 7 ft to 7 ft from the NNW, and the wind stays light cross from the E. The energy is strong (1800+), but the quality is not quite as clean as Saturday morning. Still solid for the experienced crew.

The swell holds through Monday the 21st at 7 ft with a 14-second period and light cross wind, but again, it’s a bit ropier than the glassy Saturday morning session. Tuesday the 22nd sees it drop back to a more manageable 5 ft.

Then from Wednesday the 23rd, it fades into small, choppy junk until a late pulse arrives on Saturday the 26th. That morning brings a glassy 8 ft swell from the ENE, but the period is short (7 seconds) and the energy is moderate (617). It’ll be a lumpy, walled-up beach break – honestly, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with that short-period, onshore wind setup.

Best on offer? Saturday morning the 19th is your clear winner – glassy, solid 6 ft NNW groundswell, good energy, and a proper session for anyone who knows what they’re doing. Sunday the 13th morning is the best beginner-friendly window.

Rusty.
