The Lowdown
Alright, mates, gather 'round. Rusty here, and I've gotta level with you about Vilassar de Mar for the next couple of weeks. It's a tough stretch. We're looking at a pretty blank run right out of the gate, with nothing worth paddling out for until we hit the end of the first week. The early days, through to the 24th of August, are just a mess of tiny waves blown out by onshore winds. Not a shred of real energy out there.
The water is sitting at a balmy 83°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year. That's about the only thing going for it.
As we head into the later part of the week, we start to see a few whispers of life. On the morning of the 25th, Tuesday, there's a slight shift. We get a tiny bit of swell, around 2ft from the SE, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the West keeping things clean. It’s a small wave, but it's rideable. The combined swell energy is a measly (24), so it’s not exactly pulling any power. This is more of a longboard cruise than a serious session.
The standout window in this whole dry spell is probably the morning of the 26th, Wednesday. We've got a glassy, calm ocean with a tiny 2ft bump from the SE. It’s super small, but with zero wind, it’ll be as smooth as a lake. If you’ve got a foamie and just want to feel the glide, this is your best bet.
After that, it's a bit of a grind again. The 27th of August, Thursday, shows some cleaner conditions with a cross-offshore wind, but the swell isn't picking up much. The waves stay in the 2ft to 2ft range, but with the wind better, it's at least not a washing machine. Nothing here is gonna get your heart racing, though. Into the final week, energy drops off completely. We're looking at days of sub-2ft slop and poor winds. The 4th of September finally shows some glassy conditions again, but the swell is still tiny and weak.
Honestly, for this entire 16-day run, there is no real stand-out. The swell is just too small and weak to get excited about. The best I can say is keep your expectations on the floor, grab a longboard if you've got one, and maybe give the morning of the 26th a look for a near-flat glass-off.
Rusty.

Information about the Vilassar de Mar Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Vilassar de Mar provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Vilassar de Mar can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Vilassar de Mar 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.

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 Vilassar de Mar 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.
