Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up for Cala De Meron over the next couple of weeks. The water is sitting at 70°F and that’s a touch warmer than what we’d normally see for this time of year, so it’s a nice little bonus.

First real surf to talk about is Monday the 7th, but honestly, it’s pretty marginal. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the NW with a 12-second period, but the combined energy is only 324 (moderate) and the wind is a light northerly breeze, so it’s not going to be clean. The wave comment sums it up – it’s a bit ordinary. Not worth getting excited about.

Tuesday the 8th morning shapes up a little better. The swell drops to 3ft from the NW, 10-second period, but the wind goes glassy from the WSW. That’s a big plus – clean conditions. Energy is 172 (moderate). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. The afternoon gets messy with a 5ft NW swell, 9-second period, and a cross-on wind. The energy jumps to 459 (moderate), but the quality is poor.

Wednesday the 9th morning is a standout early in the outlook. The wind is dead calm, glassy, with a 4ft NW swell at 8 seconds. Energy is 295 (moderate). The wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” This is a nice window for beginners, as the size is manageable. The afternoon turns cross-on and drops off to 2ft, so make the most of the morning.

Thursday the 10th morning is another good call. Glassy conditions with a light easterly, 4ft from the NNW, 10-second period, and energy at 266 (moderate). Clean, fun-sized waves. The afternoon goes cross-on and drops to 3ft, so again, morning is the move.

The weekend from Friday the 11th through Saturday the 12th is pretty flat and weak. Swells drop below 2ft, energy falls into the 40s and 70s (weak), and winds are cross-shore or cross-on. Not worth suiting up.

Now, Sunday the 13th morning is the best of the whole outlook. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the NNW, 13-second period, and perfect glassy conditions with a light NE breeze. The combined energy is 702 (strong), and the wave comment says “expect very good surf conditions.” This is the one to circle. The swell direction from the NNW lines up nicely with the optimum for Cala De Meron, and the period is long enough to give proper shape. The afternoon sees the wind turn cross-on and the energy drops slightly, so get in early.

Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th are back to smaller, less inspiring surf. The swell hangs around 2ft to 3ft, with cross-shore or cross-on winds and moderate energy. Not a priority.

Wednesday the 16th morning brings a 4ft NW swell at 11 seconds, but the wind is a moderate cross-shore from the ENE at 20 mph, making it messy. The afternoon is similar with a 4ft NNW swell. Energy is moderate to strong (395 and 519), but the wind ruins it.

Thursday the 17th is all marginal. Swells around 3ft to 4ft, cross-on winds, and moderate energy (407–550). The wave comment says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” Not great.

Friday the 18th morning is a belter for the second week. We’ve got a 7ft swell from the NNW, only 8-second period, but the wind is glassy from the east. Combined energy is 618 (strong), and the wave comment says “expect very good surf conditions.” That’s a solid, powerful swell, but at 7ft it’s getting into expert territory. The short period means it’ll be a bit crumbly at the beach, but with glassy conditions, it’ll still be fun for the experienced crew. The afternoon goes cross-on, so again, morning is the key.

Saturday the 19th morning is glassy again, with a 4ft N swell at 6 seconds. Energy is 200 (moderate). The wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” Clean, but short period.

The rest of the run from Sunday the 20th through Tuesday the 22nd is smaller, with swells between 2ft and 4ft, mostly cross-on or cross-shore winds, and energy ranging from 150 to 594. The standout in that stretch is Monday the 21st morning, with a 4ft NNW swell, 13-second period, and a cross-shore wind. Energy is 594 (strong), but the wave comment is only “marginal.” The long period might make it a bit tricky at the beach.

Overall, the true standouts are Wednesday the 9th morning, Sunday the 13th morning, and Friday the 18th morning. If I had to pick one, it’s Sunday the 13th – best combo of size, period, wind, and energy. The crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have some company, but it’s worth it.
