The Lowdown
Alright mates, let’s be real – this entire stretch is flat most of the time. We’ve got a solid eight-day gap with almost nothing rideable. The only half-decent chance is on the morning of Friday, August 21st here at Barceloneta.
The swell will show a touch of life with 1.4m coming out of the ENE, period around 6 seconds. The combined energy hits 114 (moderate), and the wind goes totally glassy. Water temperature is 29° – well above normal for the time of year. It’s not an epic day by any means, just the best of a bad bunch. It’s small enough for beginners.
After that, it’s back to dribble, with most days showing waves under half a metre and almost no punch. The 24th and 26th have some one-metre waves with clean-ish winds, but again ordinary stuff. If this was a kite spot it might be interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it’s survival mode. The Barceloneta break is already inconsistent, and this run definitely lives up to that.

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.
