Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks at Cala De Meron.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you. The next week and a bit is pretty lean. We're looking at a long dry spell from now until the end of the first week of August. There's some small, weak swell around, but the conditions are just not there – a lot of cross-shore and cross-onshore wind messing up what little waves we get. The wave energy is weak, barely hitting triple digits on the odd occasion, like a 101 reading on the Saturday morning, but it's just not worth getting wet for. You're better off waiting.

Now, things start to look a bit more promising as we head into the second week. The real standout window is shaping up for the weekend of the 8th and 9th of August.

Saturday the 8th of August is looking like the pick of the bunch. The morning starts off glassy with light rain, and a solid groundswell from the NW at 4ft is building, with a period of 11 seconds. That longer period means better shaped waves, more energy, and longer lulls between sets – makes paddling out a bit easier. The wave energy is moderate at 258. The real gem, though, is Saturday afternoon: the wind goes completely calm, the sea goes glassy, and the swell holds at 4ft from the NW. It's a bit small, but clean conditions like that are gold dust. If you're a beginner, this is manageable, but the consistency is only "fairly consistent," so you'll have to be patient.

Sunday the 9th of August also has some juice. The morning brings a clean 4ft NW swell with a light cross-offshore breeze. Wave energy is strong again at 332. This is going to be clean, lined-up surf. Just be aware that the afternoon swings onshore, so get your session in early.

The water temperature is sitting at about 69°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so nothing to worry about there.

For the rest of the second week, we get a bit of a pulse on the 11th, but the conditions are marginal with light rain and cross-onshore winds messing things up. The swell is there, at 4ft from the NNW with a long 11-second period, but the wind kills the quality.

So, to sum it up: the surf is quiet for a long stretch. Don't bother until the weekend. Your best bet is the afternoon of Saturday the 8th of August for some glassy, clean 4ft NW waves. Sunday morning is also a solid backup for a clean 4ft NW swell. After that, it gets messy again.

Stay patient, and keep an eye on the sky.

Rusty.
