Table - best surf conditions forecast for Barceloneta over the next 16 days.
Right, I’m gonna level with you. The next 16 days at Barceloneta are looking pretty bleak. The first week is a total bust, and the second week only gives you a couple of tiny windows where you might get a wave, but it’s nothing to write home about.
The first real sign of life is on Monday, 20th July. That’s a full 11 days of waiting from the start of the period. That’s a long, dry stretch.
For the first 11 days, from Thursday, 9th July through to Sunday, 19th July, the swell is tiny, with weak energy. For instance, the best of that period is Saturday morning, 11th July, with a weak 0.6m from the east and an energy reading of just 9. The wind is cross-onshore, and it’s messy. The water temp is about 25°, which is normal for the time of year. There’s nothing to recommend.
The first glimmer of hope comes on Monday, 20th July. The morning brings a glassy, clean session with a 0.9m swell from the east-northeast, period 4 seconds, and a combined energy of 36. It’s still small, weak, and short period, but with the glassy conditions, it’s the best you’ll get. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. But it’s not a standout. It’s just the only thing that’s not a total zero.
The next morning, Tuesday, 21st July, is glassy again but with a puny 0.2m from the east. Not worth the paddle.
One more spot to mention: on Thursday, 23rd July, the morning offers a 0.6m east-northeast swell with a period of 5 seconds and energy of 24. The wind is light and glassy again. It’s another clean, tiny day. The afternoon is onshore and messy.
The last real chance is Friday, 24th July morning. Glassy, calm, with a 0.4m south-southwest swell, period 6 seconds, and energy of 13. The afternoon picks up a bit of energy (41) but the wind is a moderate cross-shore, making it choppy.
So, honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the mornings of Monday, 20th July, Thursday, 23rd July, and Friday, 24th July are your only options, and they’re all small. This is a classic blank run for the area. It tends not to stay poor for long, so keep your eyes peeled.

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.
