Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here, and I've got the full picture on the next couple of weeks at Cala De Meron. This spot is a little exposed to the northwest, and it's a fairly consistent beginner-friendly wave. Water temps are sittin' about average for the time of year, so no need to hunt for a thicker wetsuit just yet.

We kick off straight away. Friday morning, August 28, we've got a clean 3 ft NW swell sneaking in with a light offshore breeze. The energy's weak at 203, but it's surfable and the winds are right. That's a nice little warm-up session. Friday afternoon though, the wind swings and it gets a bit messy, so morning's the pick for that day.

Saturday morning, August 29, is a beauty. The swell picks up to 5 ft from the NW, period's a touch short at 8 seconds, but the wind is dead calm and it's glassy. The energy is moderate at 260. That's a proper glass-off session for the early birds.

Sunday, August 30, still has some size around 5 ft NW, but the wind is all over the place, so it's not looking clean. I'd skip it.

Now, the standout of the whole forecast is Monday morning, August 31. We've got a solid 5 ft NW groundswell with a nice 11-second period, and the wind is dead calm - glassy as. The combined energy is a solid 511 (moderate), and the conditions are set for very good surf. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The morning session is going to be special.

Tuesday morning, September 1, is another clean one, but the swell drops to 4 ft from the NNW, still glassy with light rain. It's good, but not as good as Monday.

After that, the surf drops right off. From Wednesday, September 2, right through to the end of the first week, we've got a run of small, weak, and messy conditions. The energy drops to weak numbers like 59 to 70, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore. There's a couple of days of glassy mornings, but the swell is just too small to bother with.

The second week starts with a bit of promise Saturday morning, September 5. A 5 ft NW swell with a long 13-second period rolls in, and the energy is a solid 725 (moderate). But the wind is cross-shore, so it's a bit lumpy. It's a long-range groundswell, so it'll be peaky, but the wind is holding it back from being a standout.

Sunday, September 6, still has some size and period, but it's similar - lumpy cross-shore wind. The rest of the week fades back into small, weak surf, with a few glassy mornings on Monday and Tuesday, September 7 and 8, but the swell is under 3 ft.

By Thursday, September 10, it's tiny and barely worth a look. The last call in the window is Saturday morning, September 12, with a 1 ft clean wave, but it's just not enough.

So the headline is clear: Monday morning, August 31, is your best bet. Get out there early for clean, glassy 5 ft NW swell. If you miss that, Saturday morning, September 5, has the most size but with a wind compromise.

Rusty.
