Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for this stretch.

Honestly, mate, we’re staring down a pretty grim run here. Looking at the whole 16-day window, I’ve got to be straight with you: there’s barely a ripple worth getting wet for. The first recommendation doesn’t show up until August 12th, and that’s a full 13 days of flat, weak, or messy conditions right off the bat. That’s a long drought.

The first glimmer of anything surfable finally pops up on the Wednesday morning of August 12th at Cala De Meron. And it’s a stretch to call it good. The swell is a tiny 3ft from the North, with a short, weak period of 6 seconds. The combined swell energy is a very low 53, so it’s barely got any punch. The wind is dead calm – glassy – which is a huge positive for the surface, but the wave itself is small and weak. It’s listed as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which is about as generous as I can be. For a beginner, this is about as safe and mellow as it gets, but anyone looking for a proper wave will be disappointed.

The water temperature on the first mention is 69°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year with a 2°F anomaly, so you’ll be in a spring suit or just a rashie.

After that brief moment, it’s back to poor conditions for the rest of the day and the following days. The swell stays tiny, mostly under 2ft, with periods all under 8 seconds, and the wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore, just chopping it up. There’s also a bump in swell on Tuesday afternoon, August 11th, hitting 4ft from the North with a combined energy of 112, but the wind is onshore and the surf quality is still marked as poor. It’s a no-go.

The takeaway is: the only real window is that glassy Wednesday morning on the 12th, and it’s for the absolute beginner or the person who just needs a paddle. There’s nothing else to get excited about. The conditions are that flat.

Rusty.
