Table - best surf conditions forecast for Barceloneta over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Barcelona’s got lined up for us over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s looking pretty quiet out there. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands. From now right through until the end of the month, there’s just nothing doing. The swell is tiny, the winds are mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the energy is weak. It’s one of those stretches where the beach is better for a cold drink than a paddle out.
Barceloneta is the only game in town, but it’s a tough one. This spot is inconsistent, and over the next 16 days, it’s just not showing any signs of life. For a beginner spot, anything over 5 ft would be too much, but we’re not even close to that. The biggest bump we see is on the afternoon of July 23rd, with a tiny 2 ft swell from the east-northeast, with a period of 7 seconds and combined energy of just 37 – that’s weak energy. The wind is light and cross-onshore, so it’s not going to be clean.
There’s a moment on the morning of July 15th that’s glassy, with no wind at all, but the swell is only 1.0 ft. It’s flat, really. And on July 17th we get a little puff of offshore wind from the west, but again, the swell is just 0.7 ft with a period of 2 seconds. You’d be bobbing around on nothing.
Water temps at Barceloneta are at 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – about 2° above average, so it’s noticeably warm, but that’s about the only highlight.
There are a few days with zero swell entirely – like the 19th, 20th, and 21st of July – just flat calm. It’s a long, quiet run. For an exposed beach break like this, a blank spell isn’t unusual, but it’s still a bummer. There’s nothing here worth paddling out for. The setup is so small and weak that honestly, if the wind ever picks up properly, it’d be more interesting for kite surfing than a surfboard.
Hang in there, but this one’s a write-off. The forecast can always change, but right now, there’s no standout day. Not one.
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.
