Cala De Meron Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming up for Cala De Meron over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. There’s a long gap of quiet days ahead. The first surf action worth paddling out for isn’t here yet. From today, we’re looking at a solid week of pretty much nothing rideable. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1 ft to 2 ft, with short periods and weak combined energy (mostly in the 60-100 range). The wind is often cross-onshore, and the wave quality is consistently poor. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual when the swell windows close up.

Thursday, July 9th through Sunday, July 13th:
Just a no-go. The swell is small, the winds are messy, and the energy is weak. You’ll be staring at a flat, choppy sea. Not worth the drive.

Monday, July 14th through Wednesday, July 16th:
Still quiet. Swell drops even further, down to 1 ft on the 14th and 15th. The only bright spot is a brief glassy moment on the morning of Wednesday, July 15th, when the wind goes glassy. But with swell at 1 ft and a combined energy of just 25, it’s barely a ripple. Not really surfable.

Thursday, July 17th through Sunday, July 20th:
More of the same. Swell stays tiny, under 1 ft, and energy is in the single digits to low teens. The morning of Saturday, July 18th, sees another glassy window, but again, it’s just a flat, glassy lake. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, no big anomaly to report.

Monday, July 21st through Tuesday, July 22nd:
Finally, a little pulse of life. The swell bumps up to 3 ft to 3 ft from the N, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 80, which is moderate but still weak. Winds are cross-shore to cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit chopped up. This is the best we’ve got, but it’s still not good. The waves are short, weak, and poorly shaped. Probably more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.

Wednesday, July 23rd through Friday, July 24th:
The swell holds around 2 ft to 3 ft, but the period is still short (4-6 seconds), and the energy is dropping. Winds are light and mostly cross-shore or onshore. It’s a poor finish to the outlook.

The one to watch (if you’re desperate):
The morning of Tuesday, July 21st, has the best combo of swell size (3 ft) and a light cross-shore wind. It’s the least terrible option, but it’s still not a session you’ll remember. The break is fairly consistent, but the quality just isn’t there.

Overall, leave the board in the car for the next two weeks. The surf is poor, small, and messy. Sometimes it’s like that – the ocean just takes a nap. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a flat spell.

Rusty.
