Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s cut through the noise and look at what this stretch has on offer for Cala De Meron. It’s gonna be a slow burn for most of the next week, but there’s a solid window of opportunity brewing for the following week, and one morning in particular looks like the standout.

The first real chance to paddle out comes up on the morning of Thursday the 10th. We’ve got some clouds, but the wind is dead glassy out of the east at 3 mph. The swell is a clean 4ft from the NNW with a long 10-second period. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and the energy is moderate (266). This is the best of the early run. That afternoon the wind swings cross-on and the surf gets choppy, so make your move in the morning.

From there, it’s a bit of a flat spell. Friday the 11th through the 14th sees the swell drop to 2ft to 3ft, with cross-shore winds and weak energy – not worth the effort. We’re looking at a few days of small, junky waves. You’re better off waiting for it to clean up.

The first sign of life comes on the morning of Sunday the 13th: the swell bumps up to 4ft from the NNW with a very long 13-second period. The energy jumps to a strong 586, but the wind is light cross-shore, leaving some ripple on the face. It’s a marginal call, but the groundswell is there. Remember, a long period like that can make a beach break kinda sectiony, but for a point or reef it’ll have some push.

Then we hit a real lull for the 14th, 15th, and 16th. The wave heights stay small, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore. There’s a spike to 6ft on Tuesday the 15th afternoon, but the period is a short 7 seconds and it’s a cross-onshore mess. That’s more of a windswell slop, not something you want to be out in.

The next good window opens up on the 17th, but it’s still marginal. The morning has a clean-ish 4ft from the NNW with a solid 11-second period, but the wind is light cross-shore. The energy is there (344), but the conditions aren’t perfect.

Then, the real standout. The morning of Friday the 18th. The wind drops to a glassy 3 mph out of the southwest, the sky is cloudy, and the swell is a clean 3ft from the NNW. It’s not big, but it’s clean. That afternoon is even better: some clouds, glassy wind, and the swell bumps to 3ft with a longer 12-second period. The energy is moderate-to-strong (373) and the conditions are glassy. This is the pick of the first week – clean, lined-up, and empty. Get out there.

After that, the weekend of the 19th and 20th is a mixed bag. Saturday is cross-shore and bumpy. But hold on. The afternoon of Sunday the 20th is where things start to go off. The swell jumps to a solid 8ft from the NNW with a 16-second period. That’s a powerful groundswell, and the energy is a massive 3429 – that’s very strong. The wind is a moderate cross-shore, so it won’t be perfect, but this is a big swell. For a beginner, this is too much – it's in the expert range. It’s the kind of day that separates the men from the boys.

This sets up the true highlight of the whole outlook. The morning of Monday the 21st. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze out of the east at 6 mph. The swell is a powerful 7ft from the NNW with a long 13-second period. The energy is at 1682 – strong. The conditions are described as clean. This is the one. It’s for experienced surfers only, but it’s the best combination of size, power, and clean surface we see in this whole run. The period is a bit long for a beach break, but if you can find a bank that holds, it’ll be a session to remember.

After that, the energy fades out through the rest of the week. The 22nd and 23rd are smaller, with the wind picking up again. The 24th drops right off back into flatness. The last day we see is the 25th, with a glassy morning but only a small 2ft on offer. It’s surfable but very ordinary.

So, bottom line: don't get excited for the first stretch. Wait it out for the 18th – that's your clean, friendly option. If you’re an expert, mark the 21st on your calendar. That’s the standout. But remember, it’s over a week away, so keep an eye on the forecasts – long-range calls are promising but not set in stone.

There are a few days with no recommendations in between, so it’s not a constantly pumping stretch. But when it does come, it comes with some power.

Rusty.
