The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the Barceloneta outlook in feet.

Right, so the next week and a bit is basically a write-off. We’ve got a long dry spell with no real swell to speak of from now until the morning of the 25th. Over ten days of flat, weak, or poor conditions – tiny waves, bad wind, or just nothing. Not much to do but wait.

The first sign of life is the morning of Friday, September 25th. A small pulse of 2ft from the ENE with a 9-second period shows up, but the energy is still low and the wind is onshore. Not worth the hassle.

The one bright spot is the morning of Saturday, September 26th. This is the standout session. Swell builds to 4ft from the ENE, with a 9-second period and moderate wave energy. The best part? It’s glassy – dead calm wind. That’s a huge positive for clean, smooth surf at Barceloneta. The direction is a bit east of the ideal ESE, but with those conditions, it’s the best you’ll get. For beginners, 4ft is getting a little big, but with no wind, it’s still doable.

The afternoon of the 26th goes onshore and the quality tanks. The following days see the swell fade and the wind stays messy. There’s a glimpse on the morning of the 29th with 5ft from the ESE, but the cross-onshore wind will chop it up.

If you’re keen, the morning of the 26th is your only real chance. The rest is a waiting game.

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.
