Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your wetties, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s cookin’ at Cala De Meron for the next couple of weeks.

First up, don’t get your hopes up for any hero waves. The opening of the forecast period is pretty quiet with weak energy around 58 and tiny 2ft swell from the NNW. Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild. Monday the 10th starts with glassy conditions in the morning, so you can get a few little fun ones if you’re just wanting to get wet. But it’s pretty ordinary, nothing to write home about. The afternoon turns choppy, so make the most of that early window.

Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th stay small – 1ft to 2ft – and the wind is mostly cross-on, so the surf will be messy and weak. Not a whole lot of push.

We get a little bump in energy on Thursday the 13th with the combined energy jumping to 108, and swell nudging up to 2ft from the WNW. Still, the cross-on wind spoils it, and the period is only 12 seconds, so the shape isn't there. The weekend of the 15th and 16th sees a bit more size – 3ft to 4ft – but the period drops to a weak 6 to 7 seconds, and it’s mostly onshore or cross-on. Not good. Saturday the 15th afternoon does get some energy up to 157, but with that short period, it’ll be a bumpy mess. Sunday the 16th morning is glassy though, and if you’re desperate, those 4ft waves might be worth a splash for a beginner, but it’s not quality surf.

The second week stays quiet. Monday the 17th has a glassy morning with 3ft from the NNW, but the energy is low again. The rest of that week sees very little action, with most days offering poor conditions and tiny swell. Wednesday the 19th morning is glassy, but it’s only 2ft. By the 21st, there’s a slight uptick: Friday the 21st morning shows a glassy 2ft swell from the NNW with a 10-second period and energy up to 114. It’s not a standout, but it’s the best you’ll see for a while. Saturday the 22nd has some potential with a 3ft NNW swell and energy up to 224, but the wind is cross-shore, and the quality is marginal.

Best on offer? Honestly, if you had to pick one window, I’d say Friday morning the 21st or Saturday morning the 22nd have the most potential, but neither is a classic. Friday morning is glassy with a longer period (10 sec) and energy of 114 – that’ll give you the cleanest, most lined-up waves in this whole run. But it’s still only 2ft, so keep the expectations in check. For beginners, Sunday the 16th morning is glassy with 4ft, but the short period means it’ll be fat and a bit mushy.

Overall, it’s a long run of small, often messy surf. There are gaps of several days with no real recommendations – from the 11th through the 15th, it’s pretty poor. The best stuff is fleeting and small. A kite surfer might get a look on Saturday the 15th when the wind and size line up, but for a paddle surfer, it’s slim pickings.

Stay patient, mate. The ocean will turn.
