The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here again. I’ve looked over the same charts for Barceloneta, and I’ll tell you the same story in feet and miles per hour – it’s a quiet one.
The overall picture is flat. From Thursday the 3rd of September, all the way through the first week, the sea is basically asleep. There’s a long gap with no real surf on offer, just a few tiny bumps that aren't worth talking about. The water temp is about normal for the season, so nothing strange there.
The first little flicker of life comes on Wednesday the 9th of September. The morning shows a weak 3ft swell from the ENE, but it’s got a short period of 4 seconds and a light cross-onshore wind, making it a messy, weak affair. The combined energy is only 38, which is nothing. The afternoon sees the swell jump to 6ft from the NE, with the energy hitting 314 – that’s moderate. But the period is still short at 7 seconds, and the cross-shore wind will make it choppy and uninviting. It’s still poor surf.
The best you’ll get is on Thursday the 10th of September. Early morning, the wind goes glassy, and there’s a tiny 0.3ft groundswell from the NE with a 7-second period. The energy is a pitiful 3. It’s glassy, so it’s clean, but you’re looking at knee-high, waist-high slop at best. If you want to sit on your board and look at the horizon, go for it, but it’s not a real surf.
The standout is that glassy Thursday morning, but it’s a major stretch to call it good. The swell is just too small and weak. For the rest of the 16 days, the wind is mostly wrong, and the swell never gets going. It’s a classic flat spell for the area. Don’t bother suiting up properly unless you’re after a paddle.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
