The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be straight with you. The next couple weeks are looking pretty flat for the Barcelona stretch. I’ve been staring at the charts and there’s just nothing with any push to it. We’re gonna have a long stretch of tiny, weak surf, and honestly, for the first week, you’re better off leaving the board at home.
Right off the bat, Monday the 10th has some knee-high slop, maybe 1ft from the southeast, but the period is a weak 4 seconds. The energy is next to nothing at 6, and with a cross-shore breeze, it’s just messy. Same story for Tuesday and Wednesday – we’re looking at ankle-biters with energy readings down around 4 to 9. The water is a toasty 83°, which is a solid 5° warmer than normal, so it feels like a bath, but that’s about the only highlight.
We’ve got a real dead spell from Thursday the 13th through to the 20th. The swell basically vanishes, with energy readings bottoming out at zero for several days. The wind is often glassy or light, so it’ll be pretty, but there will be nothing to ride. It’s a proper blank run, normal for this time of year when the Med just goes to sleep.
The only sign of life comes right at the end of the window, around Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd. We finally see a little bump of energy, up to 17 and then 75 early on Saturday. The swell gets to a more rideable 3ft – 3ft, but it’s still short-period windswell from the east. It’s not gonna be world-class, but on Saturday morning, the 22nd, with a light cross-on breeze and 2ft on offer, it might be the closest thing to a surf we get. The period is still short, so it’ll be a bit fat and crumbly, but you could get a few grovelly ones in. It’s still not enough to get excited about, but it’s something.
Overall, this is a poor outlook. There’s no real swell to speak of for the next two weeks. The long-range stuff is promising but way too far out to count on. Keep your expectations low and maybe find another hobby for a bit.

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. If you surf the same spot (Nova Mar Bella) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
