The Lowdown
Alright, mate. Rusty here, with the outlook in feet and miles.
We’re looking at a pretty flat spell for the next couple of weeks. The swell just isn’t where it needs to be, and most of the time we’re dealing with nothing rideable. There’s a long dry stretch in the middle of the period where you’ll be staring at glass.
The only spot worth even a mention is Barceloneta. It’s an exposed beach break, but it breaks inconsistently, so don’t hold your breath. The water is sitting at about 82°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The best window comes on Sunday, August 16th afternoon. We’ve got a tiny pulse from the SSW at 2 ft with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 25 (low energy). Wind is SSE at 6 mph, which is a light cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy but still surfable. It’s small, but it’s the most wave we’ll see. The Sunday morning before that, August 16th, is glassy with a SSW swell of 1 ft and a period of 4 seconds – combined energy of just 7 – so it’s barely a ripple.
The first week, from August 2nd through August 5th, has some tiny waves but they’re all poor quality – short period, mostly onshore winds, and energy readings in the single digits. Not worth paddling out.
From August 10th through to August 15th, it’s a big gap. Multiple days of zero swell and glassy or choppy conditions. Nothing to report.
The final day, August 17th, gives us a Monday morning with a SW cross-off wind at 9 mph and a tiny 1 ft swell from the ESE at 4 seconds – combined energy of just 5. Clean but tiny.
If you’re desperate, maybe have a look at Barceloneta on the afternoon of August 16th. It’s not going to be a day to remember, but it’s the only time the numbers come together. For the rest of it, leave the boards at home, have a cold one, and just wait.
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.
