The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days for Barceloneta are looking like a proper flat spell. We're looking at a solid stretch of nothing, with some tiny, non-rideable bits of slop that won't get you anywhere. The best advice I can give is to leave the boards in the car and maybe grab a coffee by the beach. There's a gap from now until Monday the 9th of September with no real surf to speak of. Even then, the first tiny pulse of energy on the 9th is only a poor 3 ft from the east-northeast, way too small and messy to paddle out. The wind will be onshore and choppy, so it's a total write-off.
The energy values are laughable, barely cracking a 66 (weak energy) on the 9th, and that's the biggest number we see all forecast. That's a sign of just how little ocean movement there is. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Honestly, for the entire 16-day window, there isn't a single standout. It's a blank run. The forecast shows nothing but "poor surf conditions" all the way through to Thursday the 17th of September. The tiny, thigh-high dribbles that show up on the 15th and 16th (1 ft from the southeast) might have a light offshore wind, but the swell period is a pathetic 4 seconds. That's just wind chop, not a real wave. You'd be better off taking up a new hobby for a couple of weeks.
Forget the paddle. If the wind picks up as it does on the 13th and 14th with a fresh breeze from the east, the setup here might be more interesting for the kite crew than for us surfers. It's a real bummer, but that's the Mediterranean for you sometimes.
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.
