The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’m not gonna lie to you, it’s a pretty flat spell we’re looking at. The whole 16-day window is a tough one for surfers around here. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing, really. The first real suggestion of any rideable waves doesn’t pop up for a while, and even then, it’s tiny. The water temperature is a notable 82°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least a dip won’t be a shock to the system.
If you’re desperate, Monday the 10th of August morning might offer a small pulse. At Montgat, we’re looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the Southeast, with a period of only 5 seconds. That’s short-period windswell, not much energy behind it at all. The combined swell energy is a weak 17. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the ENE at 10 km/h, making for small ripples on the surface. It’s poor surf conditions, but it’s the most we’ve got in the whole run. Don’t get your hopes up.
The rest of the period is a real bummer. There are a few mornings with glassy conditions, like Wednesday the 12th, Thursday the 13th, and Wednesday the 19th of August, but the swell is basically non-existent, with heights of 0.7ft to 1.0ft and energy readings in the single or low double digits. It’s a paddling pool out there. The wind conditions are often onshore or cross-onshore, with some moderate breezes kicking up chop later in the afternoons, especially around the 15th and 18th. For a predominantly sandbar setup like Montgat, it’s a total write-off for surfing. Honestly, with the swell being so weak and the wind often messy, this setup looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle session.
There are no standout days, no waves to get excited about. It’s just a flat, quiet period. Sometimes that’s just how it goes around here. Forecasts can change, but for now, you’re better off finding something else to do.

Information about the Montgat Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Montgat provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Montgat can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Montgat surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Montgat) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Montgat may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Montgat is 3 km (2 miles) from the city of Badalona. If you plan a holiday in Catalunia, look for hotels and other accommodation in Badalona. Badalona has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
