Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Cala De Meron over the next couple of weeks.

Bottom line, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough outlook. The pattern is flat and pretty lifeless for the vast majority of the 16-day window. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. The first solid recommendation for a paddle doesn't really show up until Saturday the 8th, and even then it’s a very ordinary offering. The whole period has a lot of gaps with nothing worth chasing.

The water temperature at Cala De Meron is sitting around 70°F, which is about 2°F warmer than normal for this time of year – a bit of a warm blanket, but not crazy.

Okay, let’s run through it. The first few days from Sunday the 2nd through Friday the 7th are a write-off. Swell heights are between 0.7ft and 3ft, with periods under 8 seconds, so it’s all weak, short-period windslop. The wind is a real mess too – mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the combined wave energy is well under 100 (33-116), so there’s just no power. The surf is labelled "poor" across the board right through the week.

Saturday the 8th is the first faint glimmer of hope. The morning brings a glassy calm with 3ft from the NNE, but the period is only 6 seconds – it’s still a short, weak wave. The combined energy is only 62, so it’s very ordinary. The afternoon sees a bump to 4ft but the wind goes onshore, so the morning is the only window, and it’s not a stand-out.

Sunday the 9th morning sees a spike in size to 5ft from the north, with the combined energy jumping to 212 (moderate energy). But the wind is onshore, and the rating is "marginal" – it’s too big for the average beginner and the conditions won’t be clean. Not a recommendation.

Through the rest of the second week, Monday the 10th has a glassy morning with 4ft, but the period is still short (7 seconds) and the energy is only 111. After that, from Tuesday the 11th right through to the end of the forecast on Monday the 17th, the swell drops back to tiny 0.7ft to 3ft, with very short periods and a lot of cross to cross-onshore wind. It’s flat, weak, and not worth the drive.

There really isn’t a true standout session in the entire 16 days. The best on offer is the morning of Saturday the 8th, with a glassy, clean surface but very small, weak waves. If you’re a beginner, that’s your only window for a tiny, safe paddle, but don’t expect any real push. Otherwise, the surf is poor and the forecast is bleak. The setup is so small and weak that it’s more of a swimming day than a surfing day.

Rusty out.
