The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about what's on the menu for Vilassar de Mar over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I'm not going to sugarcoat it: this is a tough stretch for surfers. The first several days are a write-off with zero wave energy, and even when tiny bits of swell start showing up from the 19th, it stays small and inconsistent right through to the end of the 16-day window. The longest gap with nothing at all to recommend comes right at the start, from now until about Wednesday morning the 19th.
Looking at you, Vilassar de Mar, you're an exposed, inconsistent beginner-friendly spot, and you're mostly reliant on an ESE swell direction. The one day that offers the faintest glimmer of hope is Monday, August 24th. We've got a small clean morning with 2ft of swell from the SSE with a period of 5 seconds, a light WSW cross-offshore breeze, and combined energy of 16 – that's weak, but for this lineup, it's the best of a quiet bunch. The water is sitting at a very unusual 84°, which is 6° warmer than average, so you'll be paddling in bathwater. Expect crowds to be possible here.
After that, the 25th of August offers a similar 2ft from the ESE in the morning, but the energy is still tiny. The rest of the month just fades out into more tiny swell and onshore chop. Nothing really stands out as good. If it wasn't clear already, the paddle and kite crowd might have more fun than us on those afternoons with a 16 mph cross-onshore breeze and knee-high chop.
For now, keep your boards in the bag and wait for a better forecast. This is a blank run that's fairly normal for the area when it's inconsistent.
Rusty.

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.
