Table - best surf conditions forecast for Barceloneta over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: it’s a long, flat stretch ahead. We’re looking at a solid 10-day gap with hardly a ripple worth paddling for. The first real chance of anything comes in on Tuesday the 21st of July, but even then it’s a marginal call. Up until then, it’s tiny windswell at best, with a lot of onshore or cross-onshore breezes messing up what little is there. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing to write home about there.
The only standout in this whole 16-day window is the morning of Tuesday the 21st of July at Barceloneta. We’re looking at a tiny 3ft swell from the SSE, with a period of just 5 seconds – so it’s weak, short-period windswell. The combined energy is a low 56, so it’s not going to have any punch. But here’s the thing: it’s glassy. No wind. That’s a major positive for a spot that’s usually choppy. The swell direction is SSE, which is close to the break’s optimum from the ESE, so it’ll wrap in okay for a beginner-friendly wave. This is a beginner spot that’s inconsistent, and it’s likely to be crowded when there’s something to ride, but for the cleanest conditions of the whole period, it’s the pick. The morning of the 21st is your best bet.
After that, it’s right back to tiny, junky conditions. The morning of Thursday the 24th of July has a gentle offshore and clean surf, but the swell is only 0.7ft – not enough to ride. The rest of the period is a write-off.
So, sum it up: the first 10 days are a bust. The 21st of July morning is the only real window, and it’s for beginners or longboarders who just want a clean, glassy session on tiny waves. Don’t expect much.
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.
