Table - best surf conditions forecast for Barceloneta over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a quiet stretch for the most part. We're looking at a long run of tiny, weak swell with no real energy behind it. The wave heights are barely registering, and the periods are short, so you're not going to get much push. The combined energy at Barceloneta is almost always in the single digits or low teens (0 to 28), which is basically flat. The water temp is sitting at 76.6°, which is about normal for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
For any of the first week, from Friday the 10th right through to Thursday the 17th of July, it’s a write-off. You’ve got days of flat, glassy conditions with zero swell, and when a tiny ripple does show up, the wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of it. The best you’ll see in that first week is a 2.6ft easterly on Tuesday the 14th, but it's onshore and period is only 4 seconds – just a close-out mess.
There's a slight pulse on the 24th of July, Friday morning, with a bump to 3ft from the ENE at 4 seconds, but it's still poor. The afternoon brings a bit more size, 4.6ft from the NE, but the period is still short at 6 seconds, and the wind is cross-onshore, so it's going to be choppy and hard to surf. The energy jumps to 181, which is moderate, but the quality just isn't there.
Honestly, there's no standout window here. Barceloneta is a beginner spot at its best, and even then, it's inconsistent. With the swell this small and the wind not cooperating, it’s not really worth paddling out for more than a splash. The setup looks more interesting for a kiteboarder than a surfer on those few days with a bit of wind and some bump.
Hang tight, forecasts can change, but right now, it's a waiting game.

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.
