The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty.
Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next two weeks is a real struggle. We're looking at a long dry spell with barely a ripple. The first real hope doesn't show up until Sunday, August 23rd, and even then it's nothing to write home about. Before that, we've got a solid 14 days or so of flat, choppy, or just plain messy conditions. The water at Barceloneta is sitting at a very warm 84°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, but that's not much consolation when there's no surf.
The first day that's even worth mentioning is Sunday morning, August 23rd. We'll see a tiny pulse of swell creep in from the SE at 3 ft, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 51. The wind looks alright from the NNW, light and cross-offshore, which will keep the surface clean. But honestly, this is for the die-hards only. It's surfable, but very ordinary.
Monday afternoon, August 24th, has a similar story: 3 ft from the ESE, a period of 5 seconds, and a combined energy of 64. The wind swings around to a light cross-onshore from the SSE, so it won't be as clean. That's all we've got. There's simply no standout session in this window. The breaks are inconsistent, and the lack of any decent swell energy means you're better off keeping the board in the car and waiting for the next system.
Keep your chin up, the forecasts can change.
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.
