Alright, Rusty here, looking at the surf for the Barcelona area over the next couple of weeks. I’ve got to be straight with you—it’s a grim outlook, mate. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. There’s a big fat gap from now all the way through to the end of the period with absolutely no recommended surf. Nothing’s lighting up the board.
The only break on the list is Barceloneta. It’s an inconsistent, exposed beach break that’s best for beginners, but even they’d be bored. The water’s sitting at 77.5°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing going for it.
We start off on Tuesday, July 7th, with no swell at all and a light cross-offshore breeze, but the combined energy is zero. Wednesday the 8th sees a tiny 2.0ft SSW swell with a short 5-second period, and only 19 (weak) energy units. Wind is light cross-off in the morning, so it’s clean, but the waves have no push. It’s just poor.
Through Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th, the swell drops further to 0.7-1.0ft. We get some glassy conditions on Thursday morning and Friday morning, which would be a major positive if there was anything to surf, but with combined energy down to 2 or 3, it’s flat.
Saturday the 11th teases a little with 2.6ft from the ENE, but the period is still short at 4 seconds and the wind is cross-onshore. That’s a messy 26 (weak energy) – not worth the paddle out.
Everything after that just fades away. A few mornings here and there are glassy, like Sunday the 12th and Friday the 17th, but the swell is either nonexistent or ankle-high at best. The highest combined energy we see in the whole run is 32 on Wednesday, July 22nd, with a 2.0ft SSW swell and short period—still poor.
Honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, if you’re into that. For the rest of us, it’s a blank run. That’s just how it goes here sometimes. Forecasts can change, but for now, save your wax.

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.
