Table - best surf conditions forecast for Nova Mar Bella over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days around Barcelona are looking pretty flat out at Nova Mar Bella. We’re staring down the barrel of a long stretch of pretty much nothing worth paddling out for.
This is a breakwater setup that’s fairly consistent, but right now the swell is just not showing up. The water temp is sitting at 77°F with a positive anomaly of 2°F, so it’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, which is nice if you’re just having a swim.
We’re looking at a gap of 16 days with no real surf to speak of. The swell never gets above 2ft the whole run, and when it does tickle up a bit, the period is short and the wind is messy. For instance, on Saturday July 11th, we see a weak 2ft from the east with a 4 second period and a cross-shore breeze – that’s a combined energy of just 15, and it’s still labelled as poor surf. The whole forecast is a string of poor surf conditions, with the combined energy values all in the single digits or low teens, so the wave energy is weak.
There is no standout option here. The best you might get is a glassy morning on Thursday July 9th with a tiny 0.7ft swell, but honestly, that’s not surf. The wind does go offshore from the NW or glassy on a few mornings, like July 17th and July 19th, but with no swell to speak of (0.7ft), it’s just a nice day at the beach. On July 24th, the wind turns offshore from the NW at 12 mph, but the swell is still only 1ft with a 3 second period. It’s a clean, empty lineup, but for a surfboard? Nah.
The setup here is exposed, but with this little energy and the wind often cross-on or onshore, it’s just not happening. For a beach and breakwater setup like this, with the poor quality and light wind, it’s honestly more interesting for a kite if you’re desperate to get on the water, but for a paddle surfer, save your energy.
So, the outlook is grim. No recommendations on the table. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s just how it goes sometimes.

Information about the Nova Mar Bella Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Nova Mar Bella provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Nova Mar Bella can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Nova Mar Bella 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 (Nova Mar Bella) 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 Nova Mar Bella 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.
