Introduction to Surfing in Mallorca
Surfing in Mallorca is all about timing and not taking things too serious. The waves aren’t the best, but fun regardless, for beginners to intermediates. Sometimes it shines, so if you score then, your preparation and opportunity clearly gave you the luck. Yet, when the Mediterranean Sea wakes up, it’s a total vibe. The island is surrounded by the Balearic Sea, and the main reason to pack a board is for those clean, chest-high winter swells.
It’s actually more consistent than people think, some local data, as per the previous video showcased, says you can get surfable days about 175 days a year if you’re willing to drive.
If the waves are flat, which happens a lot in summer, the place is still an absolute playground. By that I mean you can find cliff jumping, which is my only criteria. So, even without a swell, the water is crystal clear, and the lifestyle is top-tier.
