Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Cala De Meron.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s a couple of proper windows to get excited about. The first real action is Friday morning, August 28th. It’s not the biggest, but the conditions are set up nicely. We’re looking at a clean 4ft swell from the NW, with a light southerly breeze keeping it glassy. The water is sitting at 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus. The energy is moderate at 217, and with a short period of 7 seconds, it’s a bit of a wind swell, but it’ll be fun for a beginner-friendly wave. However, this spot can get crowded sometimes, so get in early.

The real standout is Monday morning, August 31st. This is the pick of the first week. The swell bumps up to a clean 5ft from the NW, and the wind is dead calm – glassy as it gets. That 10-second period means it’s got some proper push, and the energy is strong at 516. This is going to be a proper session, with clean, lined-up waves. It’s still a beginner-friendly size, but the quality will be there for everyone.

Looking further ahead, we have a promising long-range window. Saturday morning, September 5th, is your other big call. The swell is 5ft from the NNW, glassy conditions, and the energy is very strong at 726. This is a long-period groundswell at 13 seconds, so it’ll have plenty of power. The only thing to keep in mind is that a longer period like this can sometimes make beach breaks a bit too straight, but here it should still be a beauty. This one is a “promising but less certain” call, so keep an eye on it.

Between the good days, there’s a bit of a lull. The end of the first week and into the start of September sees the swell drop and the wind turn messy. There’s a stretch from the 1st to the 4th where it’s mostly small and choppy, not worth paddling out for. The energy drops right down to weak values, like 29 on the 3rd.

A quick note on Thursday, September 4th: the morning has a clean 2ft swell with a very long 15-second period, but it’s small. The energy is moderate at 213, but it’s a real long-period groundswell, which is better suited for a point or reef. It’s there if you’re desperate, but it’s not the main event.

After that September 5th standout, the surf fades out again quickly. Sunday the 6th onward is mostly small, onshore, or just plain weak. There’s nothing to recommend after that until the very end of the run, where we get a tiny 1ft, 16-second period swell on September 12th, but it’s cross-onshore and not worth your time.

So, in short: get on it Friday morning the 28th for a fun warm-up, but make sure you’re in the water for Monday morning the 31st. And if you’re feeling patient, circle Saturday the 5th of September on the calendar – that’s the one to wait for.

Rusty.
