The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got to level with you – it’s a tough run ahead. The next 16 days look flat as a pancake for Mallorca - Son Serra Nova, with no real surf to speak of.
Right now, with Monday 10 August, the water is a scorching 84.7°F, which is 6.1°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual. We’ve got some clouds and a glassy 5 km/h southerly, but honestly, there’s zero swell energy to work with, and the word is just ‘poor surf conditions’. The afternoon won’t help you either – a 25 km/h cross-shore from the ESE with a moderate cross-chop, and no waves.
Tuesday (11 August) stays the same: clean morning with a glassy 5 km/h from the south, flat as a calm lake, and afternoon sees a cleaner cross-offshore, but still no surf.
Wednesday 12 August finally shows a tiny blip – a 2-foot swell from the ESE with a short 5-second period, but the combined energy is only 17 – weak. The morning is glassy, so it’ll look all right on the surface, but you’ll be waiting between sets. The afternoon turns choppy with a 20 km/h cross-onshore from the NE and the swell drops to just over 1 foot.
From Thursday 13 August all the way through to Tuesday 25 August, it’s the same story. We see tiny dribbles of less than 1 foot to about 1.6-foot swell with periods barely reaching 5 seconds, and energy figures mostly in the single digits or low teens. The winds will flick between glassy early mornings and onshore or cross-offshore breezes in the afternoons, but honestly, there’s nothing to ride. The swell direction is always from the ESE or E – way off the optimum for this break, which needs a good NNE swell to fire.
This is a rare, inconsistent reef break that needs the right direction to work, and for the entire 16-day window, we’ve got nothing but flat spells and scraps. If you’re a kiter, the afternoons with a clean cross-off breeze might be the only thing worth looking at, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a blank run. That’s pretty normal for Son Serra Nova in a quiet spell – it doesn’t stay poor forever, but right now, forecasts need to change a lot.
Stay patient.
