The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for Barcelona. We’ve got a 16-day window and honestly, the first week and a half is a write-off. From Sunday the 2nd right through to Friday the 14th of August, the surf is flat or just tiny, wind-beaten junk. There’s a good 10-day gap with no real surf on offer. The water is sitting at 81°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing worth noting.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Sunday the 16th of August. Nova Mar Bella (Barcelona) finally gets a pulse. Sunday morning looks cruisy – glassy conditions with a tiny 1 ft swell from the SSW, 4-second period, and the combined energy is a weak 11. It’s tiny, but it’s rideable on a longboard. The wind is calm, so it’ll be clean. It’s a beginner-friendly break, fairly consistent, and crowds are possible. By Sunday afternoon, the swell builds a touch to 2 ft from the SSW, with a slightly longer 6-second period and energy hitting 25 – still weak but better. The wind swings onshore from the SSE, so it’ll get a bit lumpy.
This is the standout, but only because the rest of the window is so poor. The swell direction is from the SSW, which is not the optimum S direction for this break, so don’t expect perfection. If you’re a beginner or just want to get wet, Sunday the 16th is your best bet. For everyone else, maybe give it a miss.
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. 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.
