Answer

Is it safe to swim in Mallorca when the sea is rough?

Not always. Strong surf and high waves can make swimming dangerous, even on beaches that look calm from a distance, so the flag system and lifeguards matter more than the forecast alone. If the sea is rough in Mallorca, it is usually better to wait until conditions improve.
