Alright, Rusty here, looking at what we’ve got for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a tough stretch. The whole period is looking pretty flat for the most part. The first solid week or more has nothing to recommend. We’re starting from a dead stop and it’ll be a long, quiet run for a while.
We’ve got Barceloneta as our only spot in the mix, but there’s nothing to get excited about. The water’s sitting at 79°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing going for it. The swell just isn’t showing up.
The first bit of surfable energy doesn’t appear until around Sunday, July 12th, with some swell coming in. On the Sunday morning we see a combined energy of (119) – that’s moderate wave energy, with a 3ft swell from the east, but the period is a short 6 seconds. That’s weak, windswell stuff. The wind is cross-onshore from the ENE at 9 mph, so it’s going to be a bit choppy. After that, it fades quickly again.
The only time we get some clean conditions is on Monday morning, July 13th, with glassy winds from the NE at 3 mph, but the swell is tiny at 1ft from the ESE, period of 6 seconds and energy of just (21). It’s a little knee-high dribble, really. The rest of the outlook is filled with onshore or cross-shore winds and no real swell to speak of.
To be honest, this setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s nothing worth paddling out for here for a solid two weeks. It’s just one of those blank runs for the area. Forecasts can always change, but right now, I wouldn’t even bother waxing the board.
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.
