Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Cala De Meron over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a mixed bag, and honestly, we're looking at a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions before we get a whisper of something better.

Cala De Meron is a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, exposed to the north-northwest. The water is sitting at a touch warmer than normal at 70°, which is a nice little plus for the early sessions.

Right off the bat, Tuesday the 11th morning is our best bet early on. It's not going to blow you away, but we've got glassy conditions with a clean 1 ft swell from the NNW. The energy is weak (51), but that offshore breeze will make it look a hundred times better than the numbers suggest. The rest of that week and into the next is a real write-off. From Tuesday afternoon all the way through to the 21st, we're dealing with onshore winds, small, weak swells, and choppy conditions. After that initial Tuesday morning, we've got a gap of nearly 10 days where there's nothing worth paddling out for. The wind just keeps messing things up.

Then, on Saturday the 22nd, things start to get a bit more interesting. While the conditions are still listed as marginal, the swell jumps up to 4 ft from the NNW with a period of 11 seconds. That's a proper groundswell, and the energy is ramping up to a moderate 454. Still, the wind is a light cross-shore, not perfect, but much better than what we've seen. Sunday the 23rd holds similar energy (305) with a 3 ft swell and a light cross-shore wind again. It’s still a guarded recommendation, but the potential is there for some fun ones.

The only real standout I can point to, and it's a long way off, is Tuesday the 25th of August. The morning session is looking glassy with a 5 ft swell. Be warned, it's a short-period windswell at only 5 seconds, so it'll be a bit bumpy and fat, but the energy is solid (158). For a beginner spot, 5 ft is getting near the top end of comfortable, and that short period will make it dumpy. That afternoon pushes to 5 ft with a 6-second period and onshore wind, which is really just an expert's messy playground at that point. Keep an eye on that Tuesday morning, but don't book your flights just yet.

In short, if you're keen, get out on the glass on Tuesday the 11th morning. Otherwise, be patient. The end of the forecast window has some promising but less certain conditions, especially the morning of the 25th.

Stay frothy.
Rusty.
