The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Barcelona's got lined up for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it's a lean run. Most of this 16‑day window is either flat or producing nothing worth paddling out for. Barceloneta is an inconsistent spot at the best of times, and this stretch is really testing patience. There are long gaps of several days with no surf worth mentioning – basically from now right through to late July, it's a whole lot of nothing.
The only two sessions that even get a nod are the morning of Thursday 30 July and the morning of Saturday 1 August.
On Thursday 30 July we've got a small 4‑ft swell from the east‑northeast, with a short period of 5 seconds. The wind is light offshore from the WNW, so it'll be clean and glassy. Combined wave energy is weak at 80, so don't expect much power. For a beginner break like Barceloneta this is rideable – but inconsistent as always. Crowds can show up sometimes, so get in early.
Then on Saturday 1 August another small pulse: 4‑ft from the northeast, period 6 seconds. Wind is glassy out of the north, again clean conditions. Combined energy is moderate at 125, so a bit more push than the Thursday session. Still, it's nothing special – just the best of a very quiet spell.
Neither of these days lines up with the optimum swell direction of ESE, but with offshore wind and tiny clean waves you can still have a fun little morning on a foamie. For anyone wanting bigger surf, you're out of luck here.
Keep an eye on the forecasts – it tends not to stay this flat forever, but right now it's a waiting game.
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.
