Vilassar de Mar Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our little corner of the coast.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next two and a bit weeks are looking pretty flat and uninspiring. There’s no standout surf on the horizon, just a whole lot of waiting. The first solid wave date we can talk about is Tuesday the 7th of July, but even then it’s a tiny one.

We start Tuesday morning with a tiny 1 ft swell out of the SW, period a short 4 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 6, so it’s really just a ripple. The water temp is sitting at a nice 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The wind is glassy out of the WNW at 3 mph, which is a major positive for any surface texture, but with barely any swell it doesn’t mean much. This is a beginner break at Vilassar de Mar, and honestly, it’s inconsistent, so only the most hardcore longboarder or learner will get a knee-high dribble. The rest of Tuesday and Wednesday are a write-off with no real swell.

Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th stay flat. Saturday the 11th shows a tiny pulse again, with 2 ft from the ENE on the morning, period only 4 seconds, and energy at 11. Winds are cross-shore from the NE at 6 mph, which is okay, but the swell is too weak and short to make anything worth paddling for. The afternoon gets choppy with onshore ESE winds at 12 mph.

Sunday the 12th goes back to glassy conditions with a 1 ft swell, but again, it’s nothing. From there, the whole second week – from Monday the 13th right through to Sunday the 19th – is a persistent run of tiny, weak swells that never break 2 ft and often dip below 0.7 ft. Conditions will be glassy at times, especially on the mornings of the 13th, 14th, 18th and 19th, but there’s just no wave energy to work with. The combined energy values are all in the single digits – very weak. The break at Vilassar de Mar is inconsistent, so this blank run is pretty normal for the area.

The final few days from Monday the 20th to Wednesday the 22nd see a slight bump. Monday morning has a 2 ft NE swell with a 4-second period, energy at 15, and clean cross-offshore winds from the WSW at 6 mph. Still small, but at least slightly more energy than the rest. Wednesday the 22nd morning looks glassy again with a 2 ft S swell, but we’re still talking about waves barely up to the knee.

So bottom line: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the best chance is early on Tuesday 7th or Monday 20th morning for a tiny, clean wave at Vilassar de Mar, but don’t expect anything to ride. The longer period swells never show up, and the short periods under 8 seconds mean the waves have no shape or power. It’s one of those stretches where the forecast can change, but right now the ocean is just taking a nap.

Rusty.
