The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about Nova Mar Bella, right here in Barcelona. This stretch of coast is a bit of a sheltered breakwater setup, exposed to the south. Right now, the water is sitting at a warm 84°, which is much warmer than what we usually see at this time of year – that's a notable difference.
Here’s the deal for the next 16 days, and I’ll be straight with you: it is looking pretty flat. This is a tough stretch. The first bit of surf that even registers doesn't show up until Saturday, August 10th. On that Saturday morning, we’re looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the SSE with a short period of 5 seconds and very low combined energy (16). The winds are cross-shore, so it’ll be a little bumpy. It’s not really worth paddling out for.
From there, it’s a real desert. For day after day, from the 11th right through most of the month, the swell is barely a ripple. We get a few mornings with glassy conditions, like Wednesday the 13th, but the wave height is a pathetic 0.3ft. There are some light offshore winds on Friday the 14th, but zero swell. It’s just a flat spell, with nothing to ride.
The situation doesn't really improve as we head into the second week. By the end of the forecast, we get our largest bump on Friday, August 21st. That’s a SSW swell coming in at 3ft with a period of 6 seconds and a combined energy of 54 – which is still pretty weak. The wind is cross-shore, so it won't be clean.
Honestly, there are no standouts here. Not a single day in this 16-day window offers a proper surf. The waves are too small, the energy is too low, and the conditions aren't lining up. For a spot like this, it's one of those blank runs that happens. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, leave the board at home.

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.
