The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days around Barceloneta are looking pretty grim for the surf. I’ve got nothing to recommend in the way of a proper session. For the first 12 days, from now, there’s basically nothing. A few tiny ripples from the south that barely move the needle, but nothing you’d paddle out for. The water is a warm 83°F currently, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only highlight.
The longest gap is from now all the way through until the morning of Tuesday, 18th August. That’s the one day in the whole window that shows a pulse of energy. On the morning of Tuesday, 18th August, we get a 4ft east swell, but with a short period of only 5 seconds. The combined energy is weak, at 84. The wind is cross-off from the north, so it’ll be clean. But honestly, with that period, it’s going to be a bit weak and wobbly. It’s the only thing on offer, but it’s a far cry from good. After that, it’s back to tiny, poor surf conditions for the rest of the run.
Sorry, there’s just no standout here. The setup is so consistently poor that it’s almost more normal for the area than having a good run. Forecasts can change, but right now, keep the board in the car and wait for the next one.
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.
