The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening for the next couple of weeks around Barceloneta. Gotta be straight with you – it’s gonna be a long, frustrating wait.
To be honest, the outlook is a real bummer. There’s just nothing on the table for the vast majority of the forecast period. The first ten days are basically a write-off, with barely a ripple and a lot of poor conditions. The only sliver of hope, and it’s a thin one, comes around the morning of Thursday, 10th September. But even then, it’s a struggle.
Let’s start with that Thursday, 10th September. For the early session, we might see a little 2ft wave from the ENE, with a period of 8 seconds. The real kicker here is the wind – WNW at 6 mph, going glassy. That’s a major positive for clean conditions. The combined energy is a total weakling at 50 – it’s barely got any push. This is a beginner-friendly spot, but with it being inconsistent, you’ll be doing a lot of sitting and waiting. The water is sitting at 81°, which is a massive 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual. The afternoon fades back to poor surf, though.
Beyond that 10th, it’s a whole lot of nothing. The morning of Saturday, 12th September, brings another glassy moment with a tiny 0.7ft wave from the south, but that’s not surfable. After that, we’re into a run of onshore slop, thunderstorms, and rain showers right through to the end of the outlook.
So, to sum it up: the only real option across the entire 16 days is the morning of the 10th. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the only window where you might get a clean, rideable wave. For everything else, you’re better off leaving the board at home. The forecast can change, but right now, it’s a tough 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.
