The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Barcelona. Honestly, it’s a tough stretch. This is a breakwater setup, exposed to the south, but the whole 16-day window is a bit of a struggle. We’re looking at a long gap with barely a ripple, and then just a flicker of hope right at the end.
We start off with nothing. From Thursday the 10th of September through to Monday the 21st of September, it’s flat or near-flat. The swell heights are tiny, mostly 0.7 ft to 1 ft, with periods around 3 to 5 seconds – that’s just wind chop, not proper surf. The combined energy is weak, barely registering. You’ll see some mornings with clean, offshore winds, but there’s simply no swell to ride. It’s a real blank run.
Then, on the morning of Tuesday the 22nd of September, we finally get a pulse. The swell picks up to 3 ft from the ENE, with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy finally gets into double digits, so it’s the most energy we’ve seen in the whole forecast. The wind is light and offshore from the WNW at 6 mph, so it’ll be clean. The water is about average for the time of year, and it’s a beginner-friendly break, so that 3 ft is a good size. But, the swell direction is ENE, and this spot prefers south, so the waves won’t be firing perfectly. The crowds are sometimes, so you might have a few others out.
That Tuesday morning is the only real standout, and it’s a bit of a promise rather than a guarantee, given it’s nearly two weeks away. After that, it drops back to tiny waves and poor conditions for the rest of the window.
So, if you’re desperate, aim for the morning of Tuesday the 22nd of September at Nova Mar Bella. Otherwise, it’s a long wait. The forecast can change, but as it stands, this is a quiet period for the city.

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.
