Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mallorca - Son Serra Nova over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get honest about Son Serra Nova. This is a tough stretch of the calendar, so temper your expectations.
First off, the water’s running at 81°F which is a full 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s proper tropical bathwater, very unusual for Mallorca, so at least you’ll be warm while you’re sitting there waiting.
The outlook is grim for a long stretch. From now until the morning of Saturday, July 19th, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. We’re talking day after day of tiny, weak slop with poor winds. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, the swell is barely a ripple, and the combined energy is stuck in the low single digits or teens. You’ll be straining your eyes for a wave that’s standing up.
Then, a little flicker. On Saturday, July 19th for the morning, we get a glassy window with WNW wind at 0 mph. The swell bumps up to about 4ft from the NNE with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 52 – still weak, but at least it’s something. The description says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s the best we’re going to see for a while, but it’s not a standout. The swell is short period, so it’ll be a bit choppy and unshaped, but because it’s dead calm, it’ll be clean. If you’re desperate for a paddle, this is your window, but don’t expect anything special.
The afternoon of that same day, the swell jumps to 5ft from the NNE with a period of 7 seconds, and the energy hits 225 (moderate energy). But the wind swings NE onshore at 9 mph, turning it into a messy, blown-out mess. It’ll be too big for the quality of the wave, and the wind will ruin it.
The next real chance doesn’t show up until Friday, July 24th. On the Friday afternoon, we see 5ft from the NNE with a 7-second period again, and the energy is 268 (moderate). The wind is ENE at 9 mph cross-onshore, which is not great, but it’s a gentler breeze than some of the other days. It’ll be choppy, but there will be more push. Still, with the wind angle, it’s not the clean, groomed wave you’d want.
The best looking moment in the whole 16 days? That’s the morning of Saturday, July 25th. The wind is SSW at 9 mph, which is offshore for this break. It’s a gentle offshore breeze, meaning clean, smooth faces. The swell is only 2ft from the N with a 6-second period, and the energy is 16, so it’s small. But for a break that “rarely breaks,” even a clean, small day is a gift. The swell direction is N, which is close to the optimum NNE, so it’s lining up. Keep in mind, this spot is notoriously inconsistent, so catching it on a clean day is a rare treat. Crowds are “sometimes” an issue, so expect a few others in the water.
So, to wrap it up: the first 8 days are a write-off. The 19th of July morning is your early shot at clean but weak surf. The standout is the morning of July 25th – a rare, clean, offshore session at a reef break that doesn’t cooperate often. After that, the afternoon of the 24th has the most size, but it’s choppy.
Rusty.
