The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for Mallorca. If you’ve got your heart set on a paddle, you’ll need to be patient, because there’s nothing worth getting wet for until the very end of the run.
The 16-day window kicks off on Tuesday, 4th August, and it’s a total dud. The water is a warm 84°F which is over three degrees Fahrenheit warmer than usual for this time of year – very unusual – but that’s no comfort when there’s no swell. Tuesday, Wednesday, and most of Thursday offer nothing but tiny wind ripples or glassy, flat conditions. The wave energy is zero (0) for the first few days, and the forecasts are all marked as poor. We’re looking at a gap of about five days with no real surf on offer.
The first tiny flicker of life shows up on the morning of Friday, 7th August. The swell bumps up to 2ft from the north, with a period of 6 seconds – that’s short, weak, unsure energy. The combined energy is still only 24, which is weak. The wind is glassy in the morning, which is a beautiful thing, and the waves will be clean. But the swell is tiny and inconsistent, and this break is a reef that *rarely breaks*. It’s not something you can bank on. By the afternoon, the wind swings cross-shore and the chop ruins it.
Saturday morning, 8th August, is glassy calm again but the swell drops back to 1ft. It’s a tease. The rest of the week and into the next is a ghost town – plenty of clean, offshore wind days but a total lack of swell. The wave energy stays at 0 for days on end.
The only real standout, and I mean the only one, shows up on the morning of Monday, 17th August. The swell finally pushes up to 4ft from the east, with a period of 5 seconds – still short period, but the combined energy hits 81, which is the highest we see all window. The wind is light cross-onshore, so it won’t be perfect, but it’s the best we’ve got. At 4ft, it’s small enough for beginners but big enough to be fun. The break is exposed to the north-northeast, and this east swell is coming from the side of the optimum direction, so it won’t be firing at its best. Still, it’s the only session with any real push.
Honestly, for the rest of the time, this setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a surfer. The wind is decent on many afternoons, especially the 9th and 10th, with clean cross-off breezes, but there’s simply no swell to ride. A blank run like this is more normal for the area in summer, so don’t get too down. Forecasts can change, but right now, you’d be better off waiting for the 17th. Keep an eye on that Monday morning.
Rusty.
