Alright, Rusty here again with a look at Barceloneta, but in feet and miles per hour. Let’s be honest, it’s a rough 16 days ahead. The surf is basically non-existent. You’ll see combined swell energy values in the weak range, maxing out at 31, and most days are showing zero energy. A long, quiet stretch with no real waves to speak of.
Starting on Sunday the 12th of July: afternoon brings a tiny 3ft swell from the east, with a 4-second period. That’s just wind chop. Wind is onshore from the ESE at 12 mph, making it messy. Combined energy is only 21. Water temp is 78°, a touch warmer than normal.
Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th drop to 2ft or less, with onshore and cross-onshore breezes. Energy is in the teens or single digits. Forget it.
Wednesday the 15th morning sees a light offshore wind from the WNW at 6 mph, but the swell is only 1ft from the ESE. Clean, but tiny. Energy is 6.
Thursday the 16th morning is glassy with a near-flat ocean. Not surfable.
Friday the 17th through Sunday the 19th: flat with zero energy. Sunday afternoon the 19th shows a 3ft east swell at 4 seconds, but onshore wind at 9 mph ruins it. Energy is 16.
Monday the 20th: the best of a bad bunch with 3ft from the ENE at 5 seconds, but cross-onshore wind. Energy hits 31. Still poor. Tuesday the 21st drops off again.
From Wednesday the 22nd onward: more flat spells. Thursday the 23rd afternoon brings 3ft from the south at 4 seconds with light cross-onshore wind and energy of 31, but it’s messy.
Friday the 24th morning: offshore wind from the WNW at 6 mph cleans up 2ft of SE swell, but period is only 4 seconds and energy is 12. Clean but tiny.
Saturday the 25th morning: glassy, 1ft swell at 3 seconds – energy 3. Not surfable.
Sunday the 26th: flat again. Monday the 27th morning: glassy with 2ft from the ENE, 4 seconds, energy 10. Clean but meager.
Bottom line: no standouts here. The highest energy days – the 20th and 23rd – still have short-period wind swell and poor wind. For a spot that’s inconsistent, this is a classic flat spell. Keep an eye on the horizon, but for now, you’re better off doing something else.
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.
