The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with the outlook for Barceloneta. Let’s be straight with you: it's a tough stretch ahead. There's barely a ripple on offer for the next 16 days, so we’ve got a long, flat gap staring us down. The water's sitting at a very unusual 80.4°, which is about 4.7° warmer than what's normal for this time of year—pretty wild.

The first and only real glimmer of something rideable shows up on the morning of Wednesday, September 16th. We’re talking a tiny 1.3ft waist-high mushburger from the SSW with a short period of 5 seconds. The energy is weak at (8), and while it'll be glassy and clean thanks to no wind, it’s still labelled as poor surf conditions. It’s barely a wave.

Thursday the 17th offers a similar situation: 1.6ft from the S, with a period of 4 seconds in the morning under glassy conditions. The energy is still feeble (17). In the afternoon, a shift to a NE direction with a slightly longer 8-second period but 12 mph cross-shore wind from the SSW will mess it up.

The rest of the run is pretty much flat or blown out. There is a tiny pulse on Wednesday, September 23rd: 1.3ft from the NE with a 9-second period (energy at 22) and light cross-onshore winds from the SE, but it’s still poor.

Honestly, for this forecast period, there is no standout. This is one of those rare flat spells where you’re better off staying on the beach, or maybe hoping for a different hobby. Barceloneta is an inconsistent break and it's living up to that reputation here.

Stay patient, mates. Things gotta change eventually.

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.
