The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s call it like it is for the next couple weeks. It’s a grim run, plain and simple. We’ve got a big, empty stretch with barely a ripple to ride. The first surf we can even talk about is Friday, August 21st, and it’s a dud: storm risk, a messy cross-onshore wind at 16 mph, and a tiny 2 ft swell out of the east with a short, weak period of 4 seconds. The combined energy is a pathetic 9—barely a bump. The water temp is a very unusual 83°, which is over 5° hotter than normal for this time of year.
It doesn’t improve much after that. There’s a gap of several days where you can forget about a decent wave. Saturday the 22nd has a tiny 1 ft wave, and through until Tuesday the 25th, it’s all flat or close to it. On Tuesday morning, the 25th, we finally get a clean window with a light offshore from the NW at 3 mph, but the swell is still only 2 ft from the southeast, period 6 seconds, and energy at 28. It’s a small, weak wave, but at least it’s clean.
Things perk up a little on Thursday the 27th. The afternoon sees a 3 ft swell from the SSW, period 5 seconds, with a clean cross-offshore breeze at 19 mph. Combined energy hits 47. It’s still not a standout by any stretch, but compared to the rest, that Thursday afternoon is the best on offer. After that, it’s back to tiny dribbles and flat spells through the end of August and into early September. There’s a slight blip on Friday, September 4th, with a 3 ft swell from the ENE and a period of 6 seconds, energy at 78, but it’s spoiled by a light cross-onshore breeze.
Honestly, the whole 16-day deal is a write-off for a proper surf. The breaks around here—like Vilassar de Mar—are exposed to the ESE, which isn’t delivering. The swells are short-period and weak, and for a beach setup, this is mostly kite-surfing weather, not paddle surfing. For a beginner, anything over 5 ft is a no-go, but we never even get close. The consistent lack of size and quality is just a normal quiet spell for the area. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board in the shed.
Rusty.
