Mallorca - Paguera Tora Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me get a look at what we’ve got for Mallorca - Paguera Tora. Truth be told, it’s a bit of a flat spell ahead. For the next 16 days, starting now, the surf is looking pretty slim. In fact, I’d say we’re looking at a long gap with pretty much nothing rideable for the first week and a half. There’s not a single day in this whole outlook that I’d call a standout. The swell is just too small, the period too short, and the energy too weak to get excited about.

For the first break, Paguera Tora (Mallorca), it’s a beach and reef setup that rarely breaks, so this blank run isn’t a huge shocker. The water temp is sitting at 80°F with an anomaly of 6°F, which is much warmer than normal for the time of year – that’s a real oddity, but it doesn’t help the waves.

On Friday the 3rd of July morning, there’s a tiny bit of swell, 1ft from the NW with a weak period of 4 seconds and combined energy of just 4 – that’s weak energy. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNW at 6 mph, so it’d be clean, but honestly, that’s barely a ripple. Friday afternoon and Saturday the 4th are flat. Sunday the 5th, flat. Monday the 6th, glassy morning but zero swell. Tuesday the 7th morning, a pathetic 0.7ft from the WSW at 5 seconds – 2 combined energy. This pattern just repeats: tiny bumps of 0.7ft to 1ft, often with poor conditions or onshore wind.

The most “surf” we see is on Friday the 10th of July morning: 2ft from the SSE at 5 seconds, with a combined energy of 15 (still weak). The wind is a cross-off from the ESE at 9 mph, so it’d be clean, but at that size and period there’s nothing to ride. That afternoon, 3ft from the SE at 4 seconds – that’s the biggest swell in the whole run, with energy up to 26 (still moderate, just), but with a cross-shore wind it’ll be a lumpy mess.

After that, it’s back to flat or tiny, messy bumps. Sunday the 12th morning has clean offshore wind from the NE at 12 mph, but only 1ft from the SE – that’s a skunked session. The rest of the second week is more of the same: tiny waves, no energy, and often onshore or cross-on winds. Wednesday the 15th morning is glassy offshore with 0.3ft – a paddling pool.

Honestly, if you’re looking for paddle surfing, there’s nothing on offer for the entire 16 days. The setup at Paguera Tora is a beach and reef, but with this small, weak swell and light to moderate winds, it looks more interesting for a flat-water paddle than anything else. For kiting, you’d want more wind than this. Just a tough run for the surf – the forecasts can change, but right now it’s a solid blank.
