Right then, let's have a look at what's on offer for Son Serra Nova up in Mallorca. I gotta be straight with you – it's a pretty bleak picture for the next couple of weeks. This is a reef break that rarely breaks at the best of times, and this forecast is showing us why. We're looking at a solid 16-day window here, and honestly, the first proper bit of energy doesn't show up until July 12th. That's over a week of flat or near-flat conditions with nothing worth paddling out for.
The water is much warmer than usual for this time of year at 79°, which is a pretty big anomaly, but with no waves, you're better off just going for a swim.
Let's walk through it. From the 5th right through to the morning of the 12th, it's a write-off. Swell heights are barely a whisper, mostly below 2ft with periods so short you'd be doing press-ups on the thing. The combined swell energy is next to nothing – we're seeing values like 14, 5, and even a 0. It's just not happening.
The first flicker of life comes on July 12th, Sunday morning. We see a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE with a 5-second period. The combined swell energy finally bumps up to 20 – still very weak energy, but it's something. Conditions are a bit messy with a light cross-onshore wind from the N. That afternoon it's onshore and cloudy, and the size drops. By the 14th, we get a glassy morning but the swell is down to 0.7ft and the energy is just 5. There's a bit more life on the 18th and 19th with that swell building back up to 2ft from the NE, and we get some clean conditions with offshore and cross-offshore winds. The combined energy hits 20 again on the 18th afternoon. But look, this is a spot that needs a lot more than that to really fire. For a reef break that needs a proper swell direction, these tiny little pulses with short periods are just not going to shape up.
So, what's the call? Honestly, there's no standout here. If you're desperate, the morning of July 18th with a glassy 1ft bump from the NNE and a little bit of energy (12) might be your only shot for a clean but gutless session. July 19th morning looks okay too with a light offshore and clean conditions, but again, only 1ft. These are about as close to a "best on offer" as we get, and they're still miles from good. Because this break is rarely breaking and the forecast is this poor, I'd say keep the board in the car and enjoy the beach. Sometimes you just get a blank run, and this is one of them.
