Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Barcelona’s Nova Mar Bella is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple until the very end of the run. The water’s sitting at a balmy 79°F, which is much warmer than you’d expect for the time of year, so at least it’ll be nice to float around.
The real story here is the lack of swell. From Monday, July 6th right through until Wednesday, July 15th, we’ve got next to nothing. Waist-high dribble at best, with combined energy readings barely cracking 20 (weak). Winds are messy too – mostly cross-onshore or onshore. The first whisper of something surfable doesn’t arrive until Thursday morning, July 16th. That morning, we see a tiny pulse of 3ft swell from the ESE with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy nudges up to 50 (weak). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE, keeping things clean. Even then, the data calls it “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s a small window, but it’s the best we’ve got.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. Friday the 17th through to Tuesday the 21st sees the swell drop away again, with heights under 2ft and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds making a mess of things.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, aim for the morning of Thursday, July 16th. It won’t be epic, but it’s the only time the conditions line up for a clean, rideable wave. Expect a tiny, weak wave and very little company. For the rest of this period, the forecast is a washout. There’s just no energy in the water.
Stay tuned, things can change, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

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.
