The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a big gap before the juice starts flowing at Cala De Meron, so sit tight.
It’s a quiet start. The first week or so is pretty much a write-off. From Tuesday August 11th right through to Wednesday August 19th, we’re looking at a frustrating stretch of days with poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 2ft, and coming from directions that aren’t doing us any favours. The wave energy is weak (53 to 192), and the wind is a mess, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up what little is there. Even the glassy mornings, like Wednesday the 12th and Sunday the 16th, are only offering up “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” at best. You’re better off tuning the board or checking the tides elsewhere.
The one real standout comes in the second week. On Thursday August 20th, we get a pulse of life. The swell jumps to 7ft from the NNW with a solid 13-second period, and the wave energy rockets up to 1490 – that’s a proper kick in the guts. This is a groundswell, with that long period, and it’s going to be packing some serious power. The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 71°F. The wind is light and cross-shore, which is a good sign for shape. The morning is the best bet, with a light cross breeze and some decent potential. But remember, at 7ft, this is expert territory. The beach break might get a bit straight and unruly, but for the big boys, this is the one to circle. The afternoon gets a bit choppy as the wind turns cross-onshore.
The morning of Saturday August 22nd is another little gem. Glassy, calm conditions, with a 4ft NNW swell at 9 seconds. The energy is moderate (210), and the “expect good surf conditions” tag tells you it’s a proper session. That glassy, no-wind scenario is gold for clean lines.
We also see a promising morning on Monday August 24th. The swell is 5ft from the NW, period of 10 seconds, and the energy is strong (731). The wind is glassy, and the conditions are rated as “very good.” This is one for the shortboard, with clean, punchy waves. The afternoon gets bigger and messier, but the morning is a serious highlight.
Bottom line: the first week is a bust. The best windows are the morning of Thursday August 20th for the big, powerful groundswell (expert only), and the glassy mornings of Saturday August 22nd and Monday August 24th for cleaner, more manageable waves. Don’t get your hopes up for the rest.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the sky.
Rusty.

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. Our Cala De Meron surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Cala De Meron) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
Cala De Meron is 14 km (9 miles) from the city of Gijon. If you plan a holiday in Asturias, look for hotels and other accommodation in Gijon. Gijon has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
