Mallorca - Paguera Tora Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, it’s Rusty here, and I’m lookin’ at this 16-day stretch for Mallorca – Paguera Tora, and honestly, I’ve got to call it like I see it. The pickin’s are real slim. The wave energy is just not showin’ up in any meaningful way. We’re lookin’ at a long, dry spell right from the start, with nothing worth paddlin’ out for.

For the first several days, we’re talkin’ flat spells. From Friday the 17th all the way through to the morning of Monday the 28th, it’s a ghost town. The swell is tiny, if it’s there at all, with combined energy levels barely breakin’ into double digits (typically 0 to 3). The wind is all over the place, but it doesn’t matter because there’s nothin’ to ride. It’s a real bummer for a stretch that long.

Then, on Monday the 28th, we finally see a pulse. The morning of the 28th picks up a little 2ft SSE swell, period around 6 seconds, with clean offshore wind from the NE. The combined energy climbs to 18 – still weak, but it’s something. That afternoon, the swell bumps up to 3ft from the SSE, with a 6-second period, and the energy hits 49. The wind is light and cross-onshore from the S, so it’s a bit bumpy, but it’s the most surf we’ve seen.

The best of the whole outlook, by a long shot, is the morning of Wednesday the 29th. We get a 4ft swell from the ESE, with a 7-second period. The combined energy jumps to 179 (moderate), and the wind is offshore from the NE, keepin’ the surface clean. This is the only window where the waves are actually surfable, but honestly, the conditions are still pretty ordinary. It’s not a day to get too excited about, but it’s the standout for this stretch. After that, it fades back to tiny, poor surf for the rest of the week.

Overall, this is a tough outlook. The spot is a beach and reef setup, exposed to the SSW, but the swell just doesn’t line up. If you’re a beginner, the 4ft on the 29th morning might be a little much, but it’s the only real chance for anyone. For the rest of the time, it’s a blank run, which is pretty normal for this area when the swell windows don’t open up. Keep an eye on the forecasts, though – it can change.

Rusty.
