The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be honest, looking at the next 16 days for this stretch of coast, it's a rough one. We've got a long, flat spell on our hands.
Barceloneta is the only break on the cards, and it's facing a major drought. The first few days are a complete write-off with barely a ripple. We're looking at a whole lot of nothing from Sunday, July 19th right through to Wednesday, July 23rd, with tiny, messy waves and poor conditions. The combined energy is a weak 0 to 8, so don't even bother paddling out.
The first real chance of something rideable doesn't come around until Friday morning, July 24th. It'll be tiny, maybe 0.7ft from the ENE, but the wind goes glassy, which is a big positive. The swell period stretches out to a long 9 seconds, giving it a bit of push. The combined energy is still only 14, so it's weak, but for a beginner spot, those clean, tiny waves could be fun for a quick session on a soft top.
After that, it's a bit of a mixed bag. Saturday, July 25th has another glassy morning with 1ft from the ENE (9 energy), but the consistency is listed as "inconsistent," so you'll be waiting around. The rest of the week stays small, with the best of the onshore chop coming on Thursday, July 30th, with a clean offshore wind in the morning from the WNW and 1ft from the SE (14 energy). The period is 6 seconds, so it's a bit weak and crumbly.
Honestly, there's no standout swell in this entire 16-day window. The biggest wave height we see is 2ft on the morning of Tuesday, July 28th, with a clean offshore wind, but the period is a short 4 seconds, so it'll be weak and wobbly (18 energy). For a spot that's already inconsistent, it's a tough stretch.
The forecast is a bit of a bummer, but in this region, a blank run like this is more normal than not. The forecast can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, I'd be looking for inland hobbies.
Rusty.

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.
