The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the next 16 days for Barcelona are looking flat. Real flat. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing to get excited about, so let's get the bad news out of the way.
The truth is, the entire 16-day window is a bust for any kind of decent surf. From the 15th of July right through to the 30th, every single day is marked by poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, never topping 2 ft, and for days on end, it's a zero. The combined energy readings are all in the single digits (0-17), which is basically tap water. You’re looking at a gap of over two weeks with nothing to recommend.
The only spot in the forecast is Barceloneta. It’s a beginner break, but it’s also inconsistent, and honestly, it’s not going to be breaking in any rideable way. The water temperature is 78°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only positive note.
The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, and even when it goes glassy on the 18th, 25th, and 26th of July, there’s just no swell to make it matter. The best you can hope for is a tiny, weak knee-high wave. On the 26th of July, the morning looks glassy with a 1 ft, 6-second swell from the ENE. The period is short, so it’ll be a bit of a bumpy, close-out mess on the beach. It’s an option for a complete beginner to splash around, but it’s not something worth planning a trip for.
With this setup, the beach is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer if the wind picks up, but for the rest of us, it’s a write-off. Keep the board in the car and wait for the next proper swell.
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.
