The Lowdown
Alright, I’m lookin’ at the charts for the next couple weeks here in Barcelona, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. There’s practically no surf to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is filled with tiny, weak waves and a whole lot of flat spells. We’re talkin’ days and days of nothing ridable, then a few moments of knee-high slop that the models are scoring as poor. There just isn’t a single standout session in the mix.
Let’s run through it. This Saturday the 25th, Nova Mar Bella is showing a weak 1ft swell from the SE with a short, gutless 4-second period. The combined energy is only 9, which is barely a ripple. Wind’s cross-on from the ENE in the morning at 3 mph, then it turns onshore in the afternoon from the SE at 12 mph – not a pretty picture.
Sunday the 26th brings a slight bump: 2ft from the S and SSW, with a period of 6 seconds. Combined energy gets up to 46, still weak. The morning has a cross-offshore wind from the WSW at 12 mph, so it might look clean for a split second, but the risk of thunderstorms dampens the mood. Afternoon gets choppy.
Monday the 27th morning goes glassy with a NW wind at 3 mph, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft from the S, energy at 3. The whole first week is just a series of tiny, weak pulses or flat calm. There’s a gap of dead-flat days from the 28th of July through the 1st of August – just clean, empty water with no swell to speak of.
The second week doesn’t get any better. Into August, we see a few glassy mornings on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th with tiny 0.7ft to 1ft swells, but the energy never cracks 11. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there, but it won't help the surf.
Honestly, there’s nothing to recommend here. This is a classic summer flat spell for Barcelona. It ain’t unusual. Forget the paddle; if the wind picks up, this might look more interesting for the kite crowd, but for surfers, it’s a long, quiet wait.

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.

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.
