The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Barcelona’s Nova Mar Bella.
Well, I’m gonna be straight with you – this is a tough one. The forecast is basically a long, flat spell. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but the first genuine chance to get wet doesn’t show up until the morning of Monday the 19th of August. Before that, it’s almost all zeros in the energy department. We’ve got days of glassy conditions and no swell, or tiny wind ripples that just aren’t doing anything for us. It’s a real desert out there.
When we finally get to that Monday morning, we see a bit of life. The swell is small, around 3 ft from the ESE, with a period of 7 seconds. That’s a short-period, local windswell – not much grunt or shape to it. The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when there’s barely a wave. The combined swell energy is 80, which is weak. It’s surfable, but only just. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the WSW, which will keep the surface clean. The crowds at Nova Mar Bella can be an issue, and honestly, with surf this marginal, even a few people in the water will make it feel crowded.
This is a breakwater setup, exposed to the south, and the little bit of energy we’re getting is from the ESE, which isn’t its optimum. The waves will be small, weak, and pretty ordinary. If you’re a beginner who just wants to sit on a board in the sun, this might be your moment. For anyone else, it’s a real struggle to even call this surf.
The afternoon of the 19th gets chopped up by a moderate cross-shore breeze, so that morning window is the only real look we get. After that, the forecast offers nothing else of note. It’s a bleak run, but in this region, these blank spells are normal. The forecasts can change, so don’t lose hope, but for now, keep your gear in the car.
Rusty.

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.
