The Lowdown

Alright, grab a seat. Rusty here.

Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – if you’ve got your heart set on a surf, you might want to make other plans for the next couple of weeks. The whole 16-day window is a tough one for Barceloneta. We’re looking at a real flat spell, with barely a ripple to get excited about. The first few days are a total write-off, and honestly, the pattern doesn't shift much.

The first real sniff of anything comes on Monday the 3rd of August, but even then, it’s tiny. We’re talking a weak 1ft swell from the SE, with a short, choppy period of 5 seconds. The wind is onshore from the ENE, so it’s going to be a messy, bumpy affair. The combined energy is a paltry 8, which is basically nothing. Not worth paddling out for.

The rest of that first week is more of the same – flat, small, or onshore. You’ll see a few glimpses of 2ft to 2ft stuff, but the wind is always a problem. On Sunday the 9th of August, the afternoon gets a little more interesting. There’s a 2ft swell from the ENE, but the period jumps to 8 seconds, and the energy climbs to 67. The wind is cross-off from the SSW, so it might clean up a little. Still, 2ft is barely rideable on a good day, and this is a beach break, so it’ll be fat and slow.

The second week is a desert. From the 10th of August right through to the 16th, it’s all zeros and flat calm conditions. A few glassy mornings, but with no swell to push. This is a tough stretch for the Med.

There’s no standout here. The best of a bad bunch is probably that Sunday afternoon on the 9th of August at Barceloneta. It’s the only time the energy is even moderate, but it’s still a beginner-level wave at best. Don’t expect any shape or power. With the swell being so small and the break being a beach, it’s honestly more of a swimming day than a surfing day.

Hang in there, mate. It’s a blank run.

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.
