The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I'm lookin' at the Barcelona forecast. Man, it's a tough one to call.
Over the whole 16 days, there's just no surf to speak of. Not a single good option. From now all the way through the 9th of August, it's flat. A total blank run.
Saturday the 25th starts with a tiny 1ft wind swell from the SE, but the water is a touch warmer than normal at 81°. The energy is pathetic (9). The weekend is a no-go. Sunday the 26th has a slightly bigger 2ft ESE swell, but it's got the wrong angle. Early in the week, we get a few glassy mornings, but the swell is gone or it's just a ripple. Even the best-looking conditions, like a glassy morning on the 5th of August with a light offshore wind, the swell is only 1ft of weak, short-period junk. The combined energy never gets above 23.
The entire stretch is just flat, clean days or small, choppy mess. The break is inconsistent, and it's just not happening. Don't bother. The wind is good, but with no swell, it's a waste. This is just one of those blank runs that's more normal for the area.
Later, 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.
