The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a write-off. We've got a proper flat spell on our hands. The only bit of water moving around is tiny, short-period windswell that's never going to get past "poor surf conditions." This is a solid stretch of days with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. You're better off checking the forecasts again in a week or so because it's a long, dry run.
The first real hope on the horizon doesn't pop up until Friday the 11th of September. Even then, it's a tough sell. We're looking at a modest pulse of energy with a combined energy of 89, but the swell is a messy mix. On the morning of the 11th, you've got a 2 ft southerly swell with a short 5-second period, and it's blowing onshore. That's not going to produce anything remotely fun. The afternoon is a bit bigger, with a 3 ft swell from the ENE, but it's still sitting on a short 6-second period, making it jumbled and weak. You might get a few crumbly little waves if you're desperate, but don't expect any shape.
Saturday the 12th looks just as grim. The swell drops back to 2 ft from the ENE in the morning with a 5-second period, and we get a little bit of cross-off wind from the NNE in the afternoon, but with the swell almost gone by then (0.3 ft), it's still a flat, hopeless situation.
For a spot like Nova Mar Bella (Barcelona), this is a total shutdown. All the scores are zero across the board. The water is running at a very warm 82°F on the first day, which is much warmer than usual for the time of year, but that's about the only thing worth noting. It's just a waiting game now.
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.

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.
