Right then, let’s be straight with you. I’ve looked over the next couple of weeks for Barceloneta and I gotta be honest, it’s looking pretty grim. The swell window is just not cooperating, and we’ve got a real dry spell on our hands.
The first proper bump we see is tiny, and it’s a long way off. For about ten days from Sunday the 5th of July right through to almost the end of the second week, the surf is basically on life support. Most days the combined swell energy is down around 1 to 24, which is weak energy (24). There are a few little pulses, like the afternoon of Wednesday the 15th of July where the energy bumps to 39, still weak, but it’s coming from the ENE with a short period of 7 seconds and onshore wind. That’s not going to offer anything worthwhile for a paddle surfer.
The best of a bad lot looks like the morning of Thursday the 16th of July. Barceloneta, a beginner spot that’s inconsistent and can get crowded sometimes, might see a tiny 1ft swell from the ENE. The wind is light cross-onshore from the ENE at 3 mph, keeping it fairly clean, but the period is a low 6 seconds. The combined energy is just 12, so still weak. It’s really not going to be a standout day.
There’s a gap after that, with nothing of note. We get a glassy morning on Sunday the 19th of July with a 0.3ft swell from the SE, but again, the energy is only 1. That’s barely a ripple. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Overall, this is a blank run for surf. The setup here is more interesting for a kite surfer than someone with a paddle. The forecasts can always change, but for now, keep the board in the car.

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.
