The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking the 16-day for Barceloneta. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it—this forecast is a total bummer. There are no good surf options in the entire 16-day window. The models are just showing a whole lot of flatness and poor conditions, and it's a long stretch of nothing.
Starting Friday, the 24th of July, we've got zilch. Swell is tiny, energy is a measly 2, and it's all labelled poor. There's a big gap of several days with no recommendations at all. The water temp is about 81°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that's the most exciting thing I can say.
On Sunday the 26th, there's a tiny ripple. The morning has a 2ft swell from the S with a short 6-second period, but the wind is offshore from the WNW at 6 mph, so the surface will be clean. The energy is still weak (26), and it's still poor surf. It's not going to be good, but the glassy water might make it feel a little less useless.
The 4th of August shows a bit more energy at 42, but it's a 2ft ENE windswell with a 4-second period, and the wind is onshore from the ESE at 6 mph. That's a choppy, bumpy mess. Not worth the paddle out.
This is a classic blank run for the area. Barceloneta is an inconsistent spot, and it's living up to that now. It's a beginner break, but with no swell, it's just a flat lake. The 5th of August morning is clean with a 1ft SSW swell and light offshore winds, but the energy is just 20. It's a tough stretch.
Stay patient, but don't expect anything.
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.
