Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The next few days at Cala De Meron have a slow start, but things are shaping up for a good run of waves, especially if you time the tides and winds right.

The water temp is sittin' around 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bit of extra warmth in the water. The first real chance for a wave is on Friday, August 28th, but the surf will be a bit junky. We’re looking at a 6 ft NW swell with a 10-second period, giving good energy (627) but the cross-shore wind from the WNW at 9 mph will chop it up. The combined swell energy is solid and moderate, but the wind will mess with the shape. The tide could be a factor too, so it’s kinda marginal.

Things clean up nicely from Saturday morning, August 29th. That’s the start of the good stuff. You’ll see a 4 ft NW swell, shorter period of 8 seconds, but the wind is glassy out of the SW at 3 mph – that’s the call for clean, light surf. The combined energy is around 246, moderate. Afternoon goes dead glassy with zero wind from the SSE. A really nice window for the beginner-friendly waves here, with small but clean lines coming through. Crowds are possible at this spot, so early morning could be your best bet.

Sunday the 30th holds a bit more size – 5 ft from the NW, period jumps to 9 seconds, combined energy up to 363 – but the wind turns cross-on from the NW, making for bumpy conditions. Not the best.

Now, Monday morning, August 31st, is a standout. We’ve got 5 ft NW swell, 10-second period, combined energy at 526 (moderate), and the wind’s gone glassy out of the NW at 3 mph. That’s clean, lined-up surf that will hold good shape. This is the pick of the first week – not too big, nice energy, and clean conditions for a solid session. It’s still beginner-friendly under 8 ft, but with that length and energy, it’ll have some push. The period of 10 seconds is decent for a point or reef setup, which is what this break is all about.

Tuesday morning, September 1st, keeps the clean theme – 4 ft NW, 10-second period, glassy WSW wind at 3 mph, good energy (283). It’s a smaller but still fun option.

Then the surf really drops off from Wednesday, September 2nd, through Friday, September 4th. Waves shrink to 2 ft to 3 ft, combined energy falling to as low as 45, with poor conditions – mostly cross to cross-on winds from the ENE or E. Wind speeds are between 6 and 9 mph. No real swell to work with there. This is a gap of a few days with nothing worthwhile.

Saturday, September 5th gives a little glimmer – 2 ft NW swell, 9-second period, glassy morning wind from the NE at 3 mph. The combined energy is a weak 95, so it’s more of a tiny clean wave for a paddle. Not a standout.

We get another promising window on Sunday, September 6th, with a 4 ft NNW swell that’s got some punch at 12-second period and combined energy of 420 (moderate). But the wind is cross-on from the WNW at 6 mph, so the surface gets a bit rough. Mixed bag.

Now for the second week – things stay mostly small and mostly poor for most of it. Monday, September 7th, and Tuesday, September 8th, have small, messy waves with poor conditions. But then Wednesday morning, September 9th, brings a surprise. Glassy NE wind at 3 mph, swell at 5 ft from the N with only a 6-second period. That’s a short period, so the waves will be a bit softer and less powerful, but the combined energy is still moderate (223) and the clean glassy surface will make for some fun, user-friendly waves at Cala De Meron. Not the best direction for quality shape, but it’s surfable.

Thursday, September 10th is worth a mention – the afternoon goes dead calm (0 wind from the W), with a 5 ft NNW swell at 6 seconds, combined energy 234. Glassy and clean, but the short period means weaker, steeper waves. Still a nice option if you’re after a quiet session.

After that, from Friday, September 11th onward, we drop back into small, poor quality surf with cross-shore winds and low energy levels. No standouts in that last stretch.

So, to sum it up: the true standout is Monday morning, August 31st – that 5 ft NW swell with glassy wind and moderate energy (526) will be the cleanest, most consistent session of the whole 16 days. Saturday, August 29th, is a close second for cleaner but smaller waves. Later in the run, Wednesday morning, September 9th is a decent backup, but that first standout is the one to circle.

Stay stoked, and time your tides right.
