The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get into it.
Well, folks, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty flat for Barcelona. We’re looking at a long run of days with nothing to write home about, starting right now. The first little bit of hope doesn't show up until the 20th of September, so we’ve got a dry spell of about 10 days to get through. The water is sitting at 81°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least a dip will feel nice.
Let’s zero in on the only moment that’s even worth mentioning. On Sunday morning, the 20th of September, Barceloneta might just about offer something. Expect a tiny 0.6 ft swell from the east, with a weak period of 6 seconds. The wind will be light offshore from the WNW, so the surface will be clean. The combined wave energy is minimal (46), so we’re talking about small, weak waves. It’s surfable, but it’s far from exciting. That afternoon, it pushes up to 3 ft from the east, but the wind swings onshore from the ESE, so it’ll be messy.
After that, Monday the 21st sees a drop back to 2 ft from the east, with a cross-offshore wind from the NNW keeping things clean. But again, the energy is low (28). It’s still not a standout.
The bottom line is, there’s no real standout swell here. The only day with anything rideable is the 20th, and it’s for beginners only. If you’re desperate, you might get a few small, clean waves on the Sunday morning, but don’t expect much.
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.
