Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, folks. Rusty here. Let's have a look at the next couple of weeks at Cala De Meron.

To be straight with you, this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for any kind of decent surfing. We’re looking at a long stretch of minimal to tiny swell and poor conditions. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, and the few moments of glassy conditions early on are paired with just ankle-to-knee high weak waves. The combined energy values are more often than not double-digit low (22), which is about as weak as it gets.

Tuesday the 14th kicks off with cloudy skies and a cross-on breeze from the ENE at 3 mph, pushing around a tiny 2 ft swell from the north. It’s a no-go. Wednesday the 15th morning gives us a fleeting moment of glassy conditions with that same tiny 1 ft north swell, but it’s still just too small to be worth a paddle. The afternoon turns back to a cross-on breeze.

Thursday the 16th morning is another tease with glassy conditions, but the swell is still only 1 ft. The rest of that week and into the next is a mix of onshore and cross-shore winds, with the swell rarely getting above 2 ft. There’s a slight bump in size on Sunday the 19th afternoon, with a 5 ft swell from the ENE, but the wind is a moderate cross-shore breeze at 12 mph, making for a messy cross-chop. The energy jumps to a moderate 111, but it’s just not clean.

The same pattern continues through the following week. By Friday the 24th of July, we finally see some “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” in the morning. The swell is 3 ft from the NW with a period of 7 seconds, and the wind is glassy from the north at 3 mph. The energy is moderate at 103. This is about as good as it gets, but it’s still just a marginal, ordinary wave. The crowd situation at Cala De Meron is “sometimes,” so it’ll likely be empty during this mediocrity.

Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th mornings also offer glassy conditions with small 2 ft to 3 ft NW swells, but the energy is low (58-60). It’s a flat spell with a few tiny, clean waves. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so the air might feel a bit cool on those glassy mornings, but it’s nothing unusual.

The main takeaway is that there are no true standouts here. The best we’ve got are those few glassy mornings later in the window (24th, 25th, 26th) with waist-high or smaller waves. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you might get a few slow, clean ones, but don’t expect any quality. It’s a pretty consistent run of poor surf, so a blank run like this is more normal for the area. Hope the forecasts change for the better.

Rusty.
