The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. Straight up, I’m gonna be honest with you – this is a rough stretch for Barceloneta. The next 16 days are looking pretty flat, so if you’re keen to get wet, you might be better off with a swim than a surf. We’re talking about a long dry spell with no real swell to speak of.

For the first few days, from Saturday the 29th of August right through to the end of the first week of September, it’s basically a write-off. We’re seeing tiny, weak pulses of swell, mostly under 1ft, with periods barely scraping 6 seconds. That’s just wind chop, not surf. The water temp is sitting at 82°F, which is about 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a warm bath, but it’s not helping the waves. The combined energy is in the doldrums, barely hitting double digits (10 or less), so there’s just no power in the water.

There’s a little bit of a pulse around Wednesday the 9th of September. We get a NNE swell pushing 3ft, with a period of 6 seconds and a combined energy of 78 (moderate). But the wind is cross-onshore, making it messy and choppy. It’s not really worth paddling out for. Then on the 9th afternoon, the swell bumps up to 4ft from the NE, with a period of 6 seconds and energy hitting 113 (moderate). That’s the biggest swell of the whole period, but the wind is onshore and the direction is ENE, which is not ideal for this spot. Barceloneta is best with an ESE wind, and we’re not getting that. It’s going to be a bumpy, jumbled mess. For a beginner break, 4ft can be a bit of a handful, and with the chop, it’s not going to be a fun session.

After that, we’re back to flatness. The 10th and 11th of September see a tiny NE groundswell with a 9-second period, but it’s only 0.3ft to 1ft. The winds are glassy or clean, but there’s just no wave to ride. The rest of the run into the 13th is more of the same: small, weak, and uninspiring.

So, what’s the best on offer? Honestly, there isn’t a standout. The only window that’s worth a glance is the afternoon of the 9th of September, with that 4ft NE swell. But with the wind and the direction, it’s a hard pass. If you’re desperate, you might find a small, lumpy wave, but don’t expect anything good. For the rest of the time, it’s a flat spell. The breaks are inconsistent here anyway, so a blank run like this isn’t a total shock. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, I’d say leave the board at home.

Information about the Barceloneta Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Barceloneta provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Barceloneta can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Barceloneta 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. If you surf the same spot (Barceloneta) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Barceloneta 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.

Barceloneta is 2 km (1 miles) from the city of Ciutat Vella. If you plan a holiday in Catalunia, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ciutat Vella. Ciutat Vella has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
