Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab a coffee and settle in, because I’ve been staring at charts for Cala De Meron, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. To be honest, the first two weeks are looking pretty flat and frustrating. The water is sitting at a warm 69°, which is a solid 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a real standout, but it’s not helping the waves.

We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions from the start of the 16-day window. From Monday the 6th of July right through to Saturday the 18th of July, it’s going to be mostly ankle-snappers. For the first week, we’re talking tiny 1ft to 2ft swell from the NW, with combined wave energy struggling to break 100 (47 to 86). The winds are mostly light and cross-onshore, so the surface will be a bit messy. There’s a brief moment on Monday afternoon the 6th where it goes glassy, but with only 1ft of swell, it’s just a flat, oily pond. The 12th of July shows a bump to 3ft from the NW, but the wind swings onshore, and the energy only hits 146, so it’s not saving the week.

The second week isn’t much better, with a lot of 1ft to 2ft days. The only real glimmer of hope, and I mean a tiny glimmer, is on Monday the 19th of July. We finally see some size. The swell bumps up to 5ft to 6ft from the NNW, with combined energy hitting 288 to 331. That’s the first time we’ve had any real grunt in the water. But – and it’s a big but – the period is a short 8 seconds, and the wind is forecast to be cross-onshore, which will make it choppy and sloppy. For a beginner spot like this, 5ft is getting a bit big, and with the wind, it’s not going to be fun. The best call might be a very early, very glassy morning if the wind holds off, but it’s a long shot.

After that, Tuesday the 21st of July morning looks like the only real chance for a clean paddle. The swell drops back to 2ft from the NNW, but the wind goes glassy. The energy is just 68, so it’s weak, but it’ll be the cleanest, most peaceful surf of the entire 16-day window. If you need a paddle and a few tiny, clean waves, that’s your window.

Honestly, for a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a poor run. It’s a waiting game. The 19th could be a kite session if you’re into that, but for a proper surf, you’ll be waiting for that glassy Tuesday morning.
