Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s look at what’s heading our way for Cala De Meron. The overall pattern is a bit stop-start – there’s a decent window of clean conditions early on, then a long stretch of poor to marginal surf, before a couple of clean windows pop up again in the second week. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.

Wednesday 9 September morning is the standout. The swell is 4ft from the NW, period 8 seconds – that’s short-period, windswell stuff, but with glassy conditions and a calm wind, it’s clean as a whistle. Combined swell energy is moderate at 327. This is a beginner-friendly wave, but it’s small and clean, so it’s a good time for the groms to get out. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so you might have a few others around.

Thursday 10 September morning is another solid option. Swell picks up to 4ft from the NNW, period 10 seconds, with a light cross-off breeze. That’s clean surf with moderate energy (310). It’s not as glassy as Wednesday but still good.

Friday 11 September morning gives you a tiny 2ft glassy wave from the NW – surfable but very ordinary.

Then from Saturday 12 September onward, it’s a long run of poor to marginal conditions. The swell drops off, winds go cross or cross-onshore, and the energy is low (47 to 108). The 13 September has a bigger 4ft NNW swell (13 seconds) but the wind is cross-shore, so it’s only marginal. That stretch of no real recommendations runs from Saturday through to the following Thursday.

Saturday 19 September morning breaks the dry spell. The swell is 4ft from the NNE, short period (6 seconds), but with glassy conditions and a slight air, it’s clean again. Energy is moderate at 219. It’s a beginner-friendly size, but the short period means it’s windswell – small and a bit weak.

Sunday 20 September morning is glassy again with a 3ft NNW swell (10 seconds) – surfable but ordinary.

Wednesday 23 September morning is a real standout for the second week. The swell is only 2ft from the NW, but the period is a very long 18 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. Combined energy is moderate at 331. With glassy conditions and calm wind, it’ll be clean, but with that long period, the waves might break a bit straight at the beach. It’s more of a point or reef wave, but if you’re keen on a clean, long-period wave, it’s worth a look.

Overall, the best on offer is Wednesday 9 September morning – clean glass, small but fun NW swell. The other standout is Wednesday 23 September morning for the long-period groundswell, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it.

Rusty.
