Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mallorca - Son Serra Nova over the next 16 days.
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’re looking at a pretty grim stretch for the next two weeks at Son Serra Nova. This spot is a reef break that rarely breaks, and unfortunately, that’s exactly the story here. The entire 16-day window is a struggle, with a long gap of flat, unrideable conditions dominating the first week and a half. The water is currently sitting at 81°, which is a massive 6° warmer than usual – that’s very unusual for this time of year, more like a warm bath than the Med.
We kick off with nothing. From Thursday the 9th right through to the morning of Sunday the 20th, it’s a total write-off. The swell is tiny, the period is short and weak, and the combined energy is pathetic – mostly in the single digits to low double digits. You’ll see a little bump on the 12th with a 2ft easterly swell and a period of 6 seconds, but with a cross-shore wind and only 26 combined energy, it’s not worth a second look. The wind is all over the shop, and the surf is consistently described as poor.
Then, finally, on the afternoon of Monday the 20th of July, we get our one and only genuine standout. The wind turns offshore from the SE, and the swell jumps to 6ft from the NNE with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 255 (moderate), and the comment says “expect good surf conditions.” This is the only time in the whole outlook that the score is above zero. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a rare event. The 6ft is a solid size, but it’s not huge – good for intermediate surfers. The offshore wind will make it clean. But remember, this is a reef break, so it needs the right tide and know-how. The morning of the 21st is glassy but tiny again, and then it’s back to the doldrums.
After that brief flirtation with waves, we have another long gap. The morning of the 23rd sees a tiny 3ft NNE swell with a glassy calm wind and 71 combined energy, described as “surfable but very ordinary.” That’s as good as it gets after the 20th.
So, the honest truth? There’s one real window on the afternoon of the 20th. If you can make it, go. Otherwise, the entire 16-day run is a blank. This is a tricky spot that rarely delivers, so this kind of run is normal for the area. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because things can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
