The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about Vilassar de Mar.
Look, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for us. This is one of those stretches where the ocean just isn't cooperating for paddle surfing. The water is sitting at a very unusual 83° right now, which is much warmer than we'd expect for this time of year, but unfortunately, that's about the only thing that's off the charts.
We start off on Wednesday the 12th with virtually nothing – just a tiny 0.2m SSE windswell with a short 5-second period. The combined energy is weak, and with onshore wind, it's a no-go. Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th are similar stories: glassy mornings sure look pretty, but with swell heights scraping the bottom at 0.3ft to 0.7ft, there's just nothing to ride. This flat spell runs all the way through the first week. We get a few mornings of glassy conditions on the 16th, 22nd, and 23rd, but the swell is too small to make anything of them.
The only hint of life shows up on Sunday the 23rd in the morning. We get a tiny 2ft swell coming from the NE with a period of 6 seconds, and the wind is glassy. The combined energy is still weak, but it’s the closest to a session we'll see. It’s inconsistent here at the best of times, so this is more of a micro-session for a longboard on a lake-calm sea than anything with any push. After that, it's right back to nothing through the final days of August.
Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, there isn't a single standout day. The wind is often light and sometimes glassy, but the ocean has just got no run in it. When it's this flat for this long, it tends not to stay that way, but right now, my advice is to keep the board in the car and wait for the forecasts to change. If you're really needing to get wet, this setup looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard.

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.
