Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for our little slice of coast.

Honestly, the next week and a half is a bit of a struggle. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, short-period windswell and mostly onshore or cross-shore winds that’ll keep things messy. The water is running at a warm 72°, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year – a solid 5° above the usual, so you might not need the thickest wetsuit.

The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t show up until Sunday the 26th of July in the morning. We’ve got a weak 4ft swell from the NNW, with a short 6-second period, and the combined energy is a weak 107. The wind goes light cross-offshore from the west, which will clean things up. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary – not worth getting too excited about.

Things lift a little on Wednesday the 29th of July morning. This is the standout. Cala De Meron (Calade-Meron) sees a 3ft groundswell from the NNW with a solid 11-second period, giving it a moderate energy of 221. The wind is glassy – light from the NNE, basically nothing. That’s the kind of morning where you paddle out into a mirror and get some clean, long-period lines. The break is a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, but it can get crowded sometimes. The swell direction is a touch off the optimum (NNW vs the ideal NNW), but when it’s glassy and the period is that long, it’s a great call for a point or reef setup. The afternoon turns onshore, so get the early session.

After that, we slide back into small, marginal conditions through the end of July and into the start of August. The morning of Saturday the 1st of August shows a 4ft NW swell with a 10-second period and moderate energy of 263, but it’s blowing cross-onshore, so it’s only a marginal call. The following morning, Sunday the 2nd of August, is glassy again with a tiny 2ft swell – surfable but very ordinary.

The second week is a bit of a write-off. Small swells, mostly short period, and cross-onshore winds dominate. A few glassy mornings pop up, like Wednesday the 5th of August and Thursday the 6th of August, but the swell is tiny (2ft and 1ft respectively) with weak energy. Not much to get the heart racing.

So, the best bet is definitely Wednesday the 29th of July morning. Get there early, enjoy the glass, and make the most of that long-period groundswell before the wind turns.
