The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Barcelona's got lined up for us over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it's a pretty grim stretch. The finder is showing zero recommendations for the entire 16-day window. Every single entry is marked as "poor surf conditions." We're looking at a long, flat run here. The only wave energy we see is tiny, short-period windswell that barely registers, and it's almost always accompanied by a messy wind.
The only break on the menu is Nova Mar Bella, a breakwater setup that's exposed to the south. For the first week, from the 1st to the 8th, we're looking at a whole lot of nothing. The mornings are often glassy and calm, but there's just no swell to speak of. The odd afternoon might see a 0.7 ft bump, but with a period of 3 or 4 seconds and onshore or cross-shore winds, it's a complete write-off. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at 80°F.
Around the 12th of September, there's a tiny flicker of life. The Saturday morning shows a 2 ft swell from the NE with a clean cross-offshore wind, but it's still a short-period 4-second swell. The combined energy is a meager 10, so don't get your hopes up. The afternoon gets a bit more size, with 3 ft from the ENE and a 6-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 47, but that comes with a cross-shore wind and a chop. For a beginner-friendly breakwater, this is not an attractive mix.
The second week is more of the same story: tiny scraps of swell with poor wind. There's nothing here that qualifies as a standout. Honestly, if you're desperate for a paddle, you might find a knee-high ripple on a glassy morning, but it's not surfing.
So, the outlook is simple: we have a solid 16 days of flat to near-flat conditions. It's a bit of a drought, but it happens. The only good news is that forecasts can change, so keep an eye on the horizon.
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.
