The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s on the menu for Cala De Meron over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, to be straight with you, the first week is a bit of a waiting game. Honestly, from the 16th of August right through to the early part of the 24th, we’re looking at a flat spell. There’s nothing really worth paddling out for. The energy is weak, with combined swell energy barely cracking 65 (65), and the wind is mostly cross-onshore, keeping things messy. You’ll get a few glassy moments, like the morning of the 19th, but the swell is tiny at 0.7 ft from the WNW with a short period. It’s a tough stretch.
Now, the real talking point is the 24th of August. Monday morning, the wind swings around to a clean cross-off from the SW, and we get a proper pulse of swell. We’re looking at 7 ft of WNW groundswell, and the combined energy jumps to a solid 447 (447). That’s moderate energy, but it’s a big step up. The water temp is sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That afternoon, the swell pushes a bit bigger to 8 ft from the NW, but the wind picks up to 16 mph from the WSW. It’s still cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but that size is getting into expert-only territory. The period is short at 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and won’t have that long, drawn-out feel. For a beach setup, it might actually be more interesting for the kite crew than paddle surfing.
After that little spike, the 25th and 26th see it dropping back. The swell hangs around 5 ft to 6 ft, still cross-off, but the wind is moderate and the energy is dropping. The 31st of August gives us a bit of hope. Monday morning, we get a cleaner outlook with light cross-off wind from the W, a 3 ft swell from the NNW, and a period bumping up to 11 seconds. The combined energy is 244 (244), which is decent. It’s glassy, clean, and the slightly longer period should give the waves a bit more shape. This is your best bet for a fun, manageable session towards the end of the run.
So, the standout is the 24th of August for the biggest swell, but keep an eye on the 31st of August (Monday morning) for the cleanest conditions and a nicer wave shape. The crowd situation at Cala De Meron is “sometimes,” so you might have a few others out, but it shouldn’t be a zoo.

Information about the Cala De Meron Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Cala De Meron provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Cala De Meron can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Cala De Meron may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
