Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for Cala De Meron. It’s gonna be a mixed bag, so don’t get too amped up too early. We’ve got some clean windows, but plenty of chop to dodge. First up, the water temp is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 70°, so it’s not freezing, which is a small win.

The forecast kicks off proper on Tuesday morning. The surf is small, waist-high at best with a 3ft NW swell, but it’s glassy. That’s the key. Clean, glassy conditions for a beginner-friendly wave. This is your best early call. The energy is weak (172), but for the novelty of it, it’s worth a paddle.

Then, things get a little messy. The rest of Tuesday and into Wednesday is crossed up. A little more size shows on Wednesday morning, 4ft, but the wind stays calm and glassy. That’s another shot at a clean, albeit small, wave.

Thursday morning is your first real standout for the week. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the NNW, with a light offshore cross-off breeze. The energy is moderate (297) and it’s clean. This is a good morning to be out there. The wave has a bit more push and the surface is smooth.

After that, the surf drops off and gets jumbled. Friday and Saturday are crossed-up, choppy, and not worth the hassle. The swell is small and weak. Sunday, the 13th, brings a pulse of longer period NNW groundswell at 4ft, with a period of 13 seconds. The energy jumps (617), but the wind is cross-shore and messy. It’s a marginal call at best. That longer period will make it a bit more powerful, but the cross-chop will make it a battle. Not the best for a beginner.

The following week starts flat and weak. Monday the 14th is a write-off, as is most of the week after. It’s a waiting game.

Then, on Wednesday morning the 16th, we see a push of 5ft NW swell, but it’s onshore and messy. Not great. Thursday the 17th is similar; 5ft but cross-shore and lumpy.

The real light at the end of the tunnel is Sunday morning, the 20th. This is your other standout. The wind is forecast to go glassy and light offshore, with a clean 3ft NNW swell at a nice 12 second period. The energy is moderate (300), and the surface should be smooth. This is a classic clean, small day. Perfect for the longboard and a good session for the beginners.

After that, the long-range charts are showing a serious pulse of energy. On Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd, the swell is expected to build, with readings over 5ft from the NW, and a very long period of 16-20 seconds. The energy numbers go through the roof (1266 on Monday afternoon!). However, the wind is cross-shore and the conditions are marginal. This is a look, not a go. It’s a day to watch the horizon, as this amount of juice and long-period energy could set up well if the wind cleans up, but the forecast for it is still a couple of weeks out and not certain. Keep your fingers crossed, but don’t book the day off work just yet.

Overall, the best windows are Thursday morning the 10th and Sunday morning the 20th. The rest is just noise.

Rusty.
