The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the coming weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the outlook for Barceloneta is a tough one. Over the next 16 days, the forecast is showing a real flat spell with nothing but tiny, weak waves. The combined swell energy barely cracks double digits for most of the period, with values like 9 (weak) and even down to 0 on some days. We're looking at a long stretch of very poor surf conditions from start to finish.
The first real chance to even think about paddling out is Wednesday morning, the 15th of July. We've got a tiny 1.3ft swell from the SE, with a short period of 6 seconds, and a cross-offshore wind from the WNW at 6 mph. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there. It's clean, but the energy is just not there. The rest of that day and the following morning are more of the same: small, weak, and mostly messy.
The best of a bad bunch, if you're desperate for a paddle, might be Thursday morning the 16th of July. The swell is still only 1.0ft from the SSW, but the wind goes glassy, making for a clean surface. The problem is the period is a tiny 4 seconds, so there's no real push. The combined energy is a measly 4 (weak). It's a classic small, weak, short-period windswell. A beginner might find a few knee-high lumps, but honestly, it's not worth the effort for anyone else.
After that, it's a barren wasteland. We see morning after morning of flat conditions or tiny, cross-onshore junk. Saturday the 19th of July is completely flat, and the run of poor conditions continues right through the end of the month. The combined energy occasionally nudges up to 16 (weak) on the afternoon of Monday the 20th, but that's with a 2.3ft, 4-second windswell and an onshore wind. It's a choppy, blown-out mess.
There are no standout days, no real swells to get excited about. The break is described as "inconsistent" and that prediction holds true. If you're a kite surfer, the stronger onshore afternoons might offer something, but for a surfer, this is a 16-day window to do something else. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, it's a solid skip.

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.
