The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here, looking at the local stretch for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a quiet run. We’ve got a big gap right at the start with no real swell to speak of, so don’t bother waxing up just yet. The first chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Tuesday, August 18th in the morning, and even then, it’s pretty ordinary.
From now until then, it’s flat to tiny—mostly under 2 ft—with a lot of glassy mornings but no push. There’s a few days of poor, weak windswell in the 0.6 ft to 2 ft range, with periods under 6 seconds and combined energy barely hitting double digits. Not worth paddling out for.
The only real standout in the whole 16-day window is Tuesday morning, August 18th at Barceloneta. We finally see a pulse of 4 ft swell from the east with a period of 5 seconds, and combined energy climbing to 116 (moderate). That’s the best we’re going to get. The wind is glassy—dead calm—so it’ll be clean and smooth. That’s a rare treat given the rest of the forecast. The swell direction (E) is close to the optimum (ESE), so it should line up okay for a beach break. It’s still on the smaller side, so fine for beginners and intermediates, but don’t expect any power. Crowds are possible here, and with this being the only real window, expect company.
After that, it drops back into the doldrums. The rest of the second week is tiny again—mostly under 2 ft—with some cross-onshore or onshore winds and weak energy readings mostly under 20. Nothing else worth chasing.
So, to wrap it up: save your energy for that Tuesday morning, August 18th. It’s not pumping, but it’s the cleanest and biggest we’ll see. Everything else is a waiting game.
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.
