The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Mallorca – Son Serra Nova over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch of coast is going through a long, quiet spell. For the first week and a half, there’s just nothing to get excited about. We’re looking at a solid 10-day gap, from now through the 20th of August, where the combined wave energy barely registers a pulse. The water is a balmy 85°F right now, which is a whopping 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s incredibly unusual, like swimming in a bathtub. But for surfing? Forget it.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Friday, August 21st. Son Serra Nova (Mallorca) is a reef break that rarely breaks, so when it does, you pay attention. We’ve got a 4ft swell rolling in from the NNE, with a period of 7 seconds, and a combined energy of 232 (moderate). The wind is a light offshore from the SSW, which will keep things clean. The morning session is the only window here, as the afternoon gets messy with a strong cross-offshore. This is the standout of the whole outlook – not huge, but with the right wind and a decent pulse, it’s the best you’ll get.
Then we wait again. The next real chance comes on the morning of Wednesday, August 26th. That’s a full week later, so this is a long-range call and a bit uncertain, but the numbers look promising. The swell picks up to 6ft from the NNE, with an 8-second period and a combined energy of 406 (strong). Offshore winds from the SW again, so it’ll be clean. Be aware that 6ft is pushing into intermediate territory, and with the swell mostly from the NNE, it will be a bit raw.
The afternoon of the 26th sees the swell jump to 6ft with energy up to 459, but the wind swings onshore, ruining the shape. So again, it’s all about the early bird.
Bottom line: a long, flat wait, then two brief windows of clean, rideable reef surf. The 21st is your best bet if you’re patient. The 26th is a bigger, more powerful option but a long way off.
Rusty.
