The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is about as quiet as it gets. We’re looking at a full 16-day stretch and there’s barely a ripple to get excited about. The whole period is a write-off for any sort of decent surf. The first few days are totally flat, and that empty feeling just keeps on going.

There’s a tiny pulse of energy showing up on the morning of Wednesday, September 9th, with a weak 3ft swell from the ENE, but the period is a short 6 seconds and the wind is a cross-onshore. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a measly (55), so there’s hardly any power. It’s still classed as poor surf conditions. After that, it’s back to nothing. Even the glassy mornings on the 10th, 12th, and 13th have zero swell to work with.

The water temperature is sitting at 80°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at Barceloneta, but that’s about the only thing going for it. Honestly, if you’re looking to get wet, this setup looks more interesting for a flat-water paddle than a surf. Don’t hold your breath; this blank run is normal for the area when the conditions are this stubborn. Things will have to change, but for now, there’s nothing to chase.

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.
