Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the outlook for Cala De Meron. It’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead, so temper your expectations.

The first recommendation is for Friday morning, September 4th. We’re looking at small, glassy conditions with a weak 2-foot swell from the NW, period around 8 seconds. The water temp is sitting at 70°, which is about a degree warmer than normal for this time of year – not a huge deal, but it’s a nice little bonus. The combined energy is weak (63), so don’t expect any push. It’s surfable but very ordinary.

Things start to get a bit more interesting for Saturday, September 5th. The morning sees a jump in size to 4 feet, with a longer period of 13 seconds from the NNW. That’s a proper groundswell, and combined energy is moderate (564). The wind is light cross-shore, not ideal but workable. The afternoon stays similar at 5 feet, still with that 13-second period (731 energy), but the wind shifts a touch more cross. The forecast calls it marginal, but this is the best looking window in the first week for some punch.

Sunday, September 6th drops back to 3 feet, and Monday, September 7th sees a 4-foot NW swell with a 12-second period and 420 energy, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy.

The standout of the whole 16-day window is Wednesday morning, September 9th. The swell is 5 feet from the NNW, with a 11-second period and combined energy of 481 (moderate). The wind is glassy – dead calm – which will make for clean, peeling waves. This is your best bet for a proper session. Remember, it’s a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it, but it looks promising.

Thursday, September 10th afternoon sees the biggest swell of the period at 6 feet from the NW, but the wind is a stronger cross-onshore (15 km/h / 9 mph), so it’ll be choppy and messy. That’s a bit too big for beginners and the wind is a letdown, so it’s more for the experienced crew if they’re desperate.

Friday, September 11th morning has a clean, glassy 3-foot swell from the NNW, but it’s a quick drop-off. After that, from Saturday, September 12th through to the end of the period on the 17th, the surf goes flat and weak. Swell heights drop to 2 to 3 feet, periods are short (5-7 seconds), and combined energy is mostly under 100. The wind is cross-shore but the waves are just too weak to be fun. It’s a long gap of several days with nothing worth paddling out for.

So in short: Friday morning 4th is a tiny glass-off, Saturday 5th is the best of the first week, and Wednesday morning 9th is the real standout with clean, glassy 5-foot waves. After that, it’s a long, flat run.

Rusty.
