The next 7 days. Each day's wave height, green on a good day for beginner surfers. A spot that does not suit them is tagged with the level it suits and never goes green for them.

Distances are in a straight line from the middle of Barcelona, to spots that land joins: none across a bay or on another island. A drive marked "about" is our estimate: the straight line times 1.8 minutes a km, measured on the drives we have routed (half of those come within 21% of the routed time).
