Additional Information
Interesting beach that has three different peaks that work on different swell directions. On a standard west/s-west swell a short powerful right peels off the southerly groyne; similar to Bogatell in character but usually at least a foot smaller. On all swells the sandbar in the middle of the bay can give nice peeling lefts and rights; and on a southerly swell a peaky left bounces off the northerly groyne.

Atmosphere
Usually Nova Mar Bella has a smaller wave than both Bogatell and Barceloneta, but it has a different character to either, and is more accessible. On a small southerly swell the left off the north groyne might be working when everywhere else is flat, and is always worth checking out.
Final tip, on those rare big days, the other side of the notherly groyne (i.e. the next beach up) can throw up an excellent long right.

General
Like all Med waves this is only of interest to local surfers. It is a pleasant alternative to the the crowds of Barceloneta and the churning sandbar of Bogatell.
