The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the Barcelona stretch over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it's a pretty quiet picture for a while. There's a big gap of flat, glassy days with no real swell to speak of, so you're not missing much. The first real whisper of something rideable comes on Friday morning, 28 August, but it's nothing to write home about.

Barceloneta sees a pulse of small swell on Friday the 28th. The morning session has some 3ft from the SSW, with a period of 6 seconds. The wind is offshore from the WNW, which is a major positive, keeping things clean. The combined wave energy is weak at 65. It's surfable, but it's ordinary. This is a beginner-friendly spot, so the small size is fine, but it's inconsistent and sometimes crowded, so don't expect to have it to yourself.

The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Moving into the second week, there's a bit more activity but nothing that screams "go." On Thursday, 10 September, the swell picks up to 4ft on the morning and 6ft in the afternoon from the NE and E, but the onshore wind is going to ruin it. Combined energy jumps to 197 and 358, which is moderate, but with strong onshore wind and a short period, it's going to be a messy, blown-out mess. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.

The only glimmer of hope comes on the very last day, Friday, 11 September. There's a 2ft swell from the SSW with a very long period of 11 seconds, pushing 161 combined energy. The wind is glassy, which is a huge plus. That long period means it's a groundswell, and at a beach break like Barceloneta, the waves might be a bit too straight, but with glassy conditions, it could be a fun little session for the patient surfer.

All in all, the best bet is the Friday morning, 28 August, for the cleanest and most rideable conditions, even if it's small. The rest of the period is largely a write-off, but forecasts can change.

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.
