Alright, I’m looking at the charts for your area, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. For the next 16 days, starting from Sunday, July 5th, right through to Monday, July 20th, there’s just nothing doing. Not a single session worth paddling out for.
The whole run is a flat spell. We’re talking days and days of blank ocean. The first real hint of any bump doesn’t show up until Wednesday morning, July 8th, and even then, it’s a weak, short-period 2ft SSW pulse with a measly energy reading of 22 – that’s barely a ripple. And the wind, while light offshore, just can’t polish a turd of a swell that size.
Through the rest of the first week and into the second, it’s the same story. We get tiny scraps from various directions – ENE, SE, SSE – but they’re all under 3ft with periods so short (3 to 6 seconds) they won’t even wrap into the beach. The combined energy never climbs above a pathetic 43, which is weak, weak, weak.
Even the mornings that look glassy or have a clean offshore breeze, like Sunday the 12th or Wednesday the 15th, you’re looking at nothing but 0.6ft to 2ft of slop. For Barceloneta, an exposed beach break, that’s unsurfable. Kite surfers might find a moment with that cross-shore wind on some afternoons, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a total write-off.
The water temp is sitting at 79°F heading into it – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, a proper anomaly of 5°F, but you won’t even get wet enough to enjoy it.
Honestly, mate, sometimes the sea just shuts down like this. Don’t sweat it – forecasts can flip. But for now, keep the board in the car and make other plans. There’s nothing here for us.

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.
