The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the forecast for Vilassar de Mar over the next 16 days is a bit of a tough one. The first week is pretty much a write-off, with consistently poor surf conditions day after day. We’re looking at a long gap from Tuesday 18th August right through until Wednesday morning 26th August, with barely anything rideable. The energy is almost non-existent, with combined energy readings mostly in single digits (0 to 12) – just tiny, weak dribbles. It’s only on Thursday morning 27th August that things start to look a little more promising.
So, the one standout in this whole outlook is Vilassar de Mar on Thursday morning 27th August. Now, this spot is exposed to the ESE, and we’re expecting a clean 3 ft swell from the ESE with a period of 6 seconds. That’s a short period, but the wind is light and cross-offshore from the west at 3 mph, which should keep the surface clean. The combined energy hits 111 (moderate), so there’s a bit of push in the water. It’s not a classic groundswell, but it’s the best we’ve got. Keep in mind, this spot is described as "inconsistent" and better suited for beginners, so don’t expect pumping sets. The water temperature is a very unusual 84°F – that’s a whopping 5°F warmer than the long-term average for this time of year, so it’s going to feel like a warm bath.
After that, the rest of the forecast drops back into 0.3 ft to 2 ft dribble with weak energy, so this Thursday morning window is the one to aim for. After the 27th, it’s back to waiting for the next pulse.
Stay safe, and keep an eye on the horizon.
Rusty.
