Mallorca - Son Serra Nova Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve got to be straight with you – this outlook for Son Serra Nova is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, drawn-out period of tiny, weak waves and mostly poor conditions. There are no standout sessions on offer across the entire 16-day window, and honestly, it’s a real bummer for a spot that rarely breaks anyway.

The water is sitting at a very unusual 79°F – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the swim will be nice.

We kick off on Tuesday, 7 July with a tiny 0.3m (1 ft) swell from the NNE at a short 5-second period. The combined energy is a paltry 5 – that’s next to nothing. Morning has a light offshore breeze, but it’s just not enough to work with. This flat spell drags on for days. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday... all the same story: waves barely registering, with the odd glassy morning but swell heights stuck between 0.1m and 0.4m (roughly 0.3 ft to 1 ft). The combined energy never breaks double digits (mostly 1 to 4). It’s frustrating.

Sunday, 12 July sees a slight uptick: a 0.4m (1 ft) swell from the ESE with a 5-second period, and the combined energy climbs to 13. Both morning and afternoon have glassy or light wind conditions, but it’s still knee-high mush. Monday, 13 July morning offers a clean 0.4m (1 ft) ESE swell (18 energy) with a light offshore, but it’s barely rideable.

The next big gap hits from Tuesday, 14 July right through to the end of Sunday, 19 July – almost a full week of zeros across the board. Glassy mornings, sure, but nothing to paddle out for.

Finally, on Monday, 20 July, we see the largest swell of the entire forecast: a 1.0m (3 ft) NNE groundswell in the morning with a 5-second period, and combined energy hitting 44. Not huge, but it’s something. The wind is light and cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. The afternoon pushes up to 1.3m (4 ft) NNE swell (7-second period), with a solid 157 combined energy – that’s moderate energy, the only real pulse in the whole run. But the wind swings onshore from the NE at 12 mph (20 km/h), so it’ll be messy and choppy.

From 21 July onward, it fades back to tiny waves and poor conditions. The last update on Wednesday, 22 July afternoon shows a 0.7m (2 ft) NNE swell (17 energy) with a cross-shore breeze, but again, nothing to get excited about.

Bottom line: this is a blank run that’s pretty normal for a spot that rarely breaks. Conditions look more interesting for a kite than a paddle on the 20th, but for surf, pack your boardies for a swim and keep an eye on the charts – forecasts can always change.

Rusty.
