Vilassar de Mar Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days are about as flat as a Monday morning washing machine. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing real coming our way, so don’t be holding your breath for any heroics.

Overall Pattern

This is one of those quiet spells where Mother Nature has her feet up. There are no proper waves on offer here. The first week is basically a write-off with tiny, weak slop if anything at all, and the second week doesn’t get much better. The few bits of swell that show up are small, short-period stuff that won’t have enough bump to push you into anything worthwhile. This is a good time to wax the board, fix a ding, or take up a hobby that doesn’t involve salt water.

Starting Out (July 5th to early July 7th)
From Sunday morning July 5th right through, there’s nothing. It’s glassy out there but flat as a pancake. The combined swell energy is zero (0). Just calm, clear skies and no reason to paddle out.

Mid-week (July 7th to July 10th)
Things barely tick over. On Tuesday morning July 7th we get a whisper of a SW swell at 1ft, but with a short period (4 seconds) and weak energy (6). It’s messy and uninspiring. Wednesday morning July 8th offers a slightly better blip – 2ft from SSW with a period of 6 seconds, and some clean offshore wind from the WNW. That’s the most tempting window of the whole outlook, but let’s be real, it’s tiny. The energy is still low (21). A beginner might get a fun little tumble, but that’s about it. After that, it goes back to tiny or flat conditions with onshore breezes messing up whatever ripple there is.

Second Week (July 11th to July 20th)
The second week is more of the same. A few mornings on July 15th and 16th show a bit of consistency with a 2ft SE swell, but the period is short (5 seconds) and the energy is still very low to moderate at best (14 to 38). On Friday morning July 17th we see the biggest combined energy of the whole 16 days hitting 55 with a 3ft NE swell, period 5 seconds. That’s the “biggest” we get, but it’s still poor and too weak for any real excitement. The winds are often cross or cross-on, making it choppy and uninviting. By July 18th and 19th, we’re back to flat with only offshore winds as a tease.

Break Highlight & Details

The only break even worth mentioning here is Vilassar de Mar. It’s an exposed beginner spot that is inconsistent. The optimum direction here is ESE, but most of the little bumps we get are from the SW or SE, so they aren’t wrapping in well. The water temperature is sitting at 78°, which is a whopping 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, and honestly, the only standout feature of this whole forecast. The water is bath-warm.

For this stretch, there is no standout session. Nothing qualifies as a true recommendation. The setup is so weak and the winds so unreliable that a kitesurfer might get more out of the moderate cross-onshore afternoons than any surfer. If you’ve got to get wet, aim for an early morning glass-off when the breeze hasn't ruined the mirror, but don’t expect a wave.

Stay patient. It tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change. For now, the beach is for sunbathing.

Rusty.
