Table - best surf conditions forecast for Barceloneta over the next 16 days.
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – we've got a long, dry spell ahead for Barceloneta. The entire 16-day forecast window, from Tuesday 7th July right through to Wednesday 22nd July, shows nothing worth paddling out for. Every single session is flagged as "poor surf conditions" – zero on the scoreboard. The combined swell energy barely registers, with values mostly in the single digits or low teens (0 to 49). That's about as weak as it gets.
The water temperature is sitting at 77°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – but that's the only good news. You'll be sitting on a flat ocean with maybe a tiny wind ripple or a glassy surface, but no real swell to speak of. The spot itself, Barceloneta, is a beginner break that's inconsistent at the best of times, so a blank run like this isn't unusual around here. Forecasts can change, but for now, your board stays in the bag.
If you're desperate for a splash, the closest thing to a wave might be that tiny 4 ft lump on Saturday 11th July morning, but with a 4-second period and cross-onshore ENE wind at 9 mph, it'll be a choppy mess. Not worth it. The rest of the fortnight offers even less – flat spells, glassy mornings that tease you with nothing underneath, and occasional onshore junk.
Hang tight, folks. Better days will come. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
