The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, because this Barceloneta forecast is a quiet one. We’re looking at a real dry spell for the next 16 days, with very little to get excited about. It’s one of those stretches where the ocean just isn’t cooperating.
For the first few days, the surf is basically non-existent. The first glimmer of something rideable pops up on Friday, August 28th. The morning brings a small 2ft swell from the ESE, with a short period of 7 seconds, and a weak combined energy of just 61. The wind is offshore from the WNW, so the surface will be glassy and clean. It’s surfable, but only just. This spot is inconsistent, so you’ll be working for every little wave.
The rest of the week is a total bust. Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th are flat, with glassy mornings and zero swell. This pattern of tiny, 0.3ft to 0.6ft waves continues right through the next week. The water is a warm 80°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the water feels nice.
There’s a small bump in energy on Sunday, September 6th, with the afternoon showing a 3ft swell from the east and a combined energy of 63, but it’s being blown out by a strong onshore wind, making it choppy and messy. Not worth your time.
The very end of the period, around Monday, September 7th, shows a clean morning with a light offshore wind, but the swell is still a pathetic 1ft with a short period. You’d need a longboard and a lot of patience.
Honestly, the only day that even qualifies as a choice is the morning of Friday, August 28th. It’s clean, small, and weak. If you absolutely need to get wet, that’s your window. Otherwise, give it a miss.

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.
