The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at the next couple of weeks here in Barcelona. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough patch. We’re looking at a whole lotta flat, small, and sloppy conditions. The combined swell energy is gonna be barely a whisper, with values of 1 or 2 (weak energy) for most of the run. The water’s sitting at 83°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least a paddle won’t be a shock to the system.
The first recommendation doesn’t hit until Tuesday, the 18th of August. Before that, for the first twelve days, it’s pretty much a write-off. We’re talkin’ days of flat calm, or tiny wind slop that’s just not worth paddling for. The best of the poor bunch is Monday morning, the 10th of August, with a bit of a bump from the SSE at 1ft, but it’s cross-shore and messy.
The only real window of opportunity is on Tuesday morning, the 18th of August. Nova Mar Bella (breakwater) will see a pulse of swell from the East at 4ft. The wind will be cross-off from the North, so the surface should be clean. Combined swell energy hits 84 (weak energy), which is the highest we’ll see. It’s a beginner spot, and it’s fairly consistent, but it’s not gonna be a world-beater. The afternoon on the 18th turns onshore and messy, so that morning window is the one to chase. For a spot that’s exposed to the south, this east swell is a bit of a lucky angle.
The rest of the outlook after that is more of the same – tiny, messy, or flat. The morning of the 19th of August has a brief clean window with a cross-off wind, but the swell is only 0.7ft. It’s a tough stretch folks. Forget the long-range promise; the forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a case of taking what you can get.
Rusty.

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.
