Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mallorca - Son Serra Nova over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s call it like it is: this is a lean run. The next 16 days are mostly flat, with only one real window of hope, and it’s a long way off.
First up is Mallorca - Son Serra Nova (Mallorca). This is a reef break that *rarely breaks*, so even seeing it pop up is a sign of how quiet things are. Over the coming days, the combined energy is tiny—mostly single digits or zero—so don’t get your hopes up. The water is sitting at 82°F, which is a massive 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual.
From Sunday the 12th all the way through to Wednesday the 23rd, the surf is basically a no-show. You’ll see a few readings of 2ft to 2ft, but the swell periods are short (4 to 6 seconds), and the combined energy barely cracks 35 (weak). The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions.” There are a couple of glassy moments, like Monday afternoon the 13th and Saturday morning the 18th, but with only 0.3ft to 0.7ft of swell, it’s not worth the paddle.
The standout window arrives on Thursday the 24th of July. That Friday afternoon (the 24th) is the best we’ve got. The swell jumps to 6ft from the NNE, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 716 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the south, which will keep things clean. The wave comment is “expect very good surf conditions.” The morning of the 24th also sees 6ft from the NNE, but with onshore wind and questionable tide, it’s only a “marginal” call. So that Friday afternoon is the one to aim for.
After that, Saturday the 25th gets messy with stronger cross-onshore wind and chop, and by Sunday the 26th, it’s back to tiny, weak dribble. The rest of the window is flat.
Bottom line: A long stretch of quiet, then one solid chance on the afternoon of July 24th. If you’re keen, that’s your moment. Don’t expect much else.
Rusty.

Information about the Mallorca - Son Serra Nova Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Mallorca - Son Serra Nova provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Mallorca - Son Serra Nova can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Mallorca - Son Serra Nova may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
