The Lowdown

Alright, let’s look at what we’ve got for Barceloneta, in feet and knots for the imperial crew.

It’s a rough stretch. The only break we’re tracking is Barceloneta, an exposed beach that’s notoriously picky. The forecast is basically a ghost town.

Starting Thursday the 27th of August, the water is running warm at about 82°F, which is a solid few degrees above normal for this time of year. Feels like bathwater.

The first day shows a tiny 2ft swell from the S, but it’s cross-shore wind and the wave energy is weak (19). Not worth it. The morning of Friday the 28th is the best you’ll get: a clean 2ft from the ESE with offshore wind out of the WNW at about 12 mph. The combined energy hits a modest 50, but it’s surfable in a very ordinary way. It’s strictly for beginners.

Then the lights go out. From Saturday the 29th of August through to Wednesday the 2nd of September, there’s essentially no swell. Glassy mornings with zero wave energy (0). That’s a solid 5-day gap of flatness.

Wednesday the 2nd of September morning tries to break the silence with a 3ft pulse from the ENE, but the period is a short 6 seconds, and the energy is still weak (82). The wind is light offshore, so it’s clean, but the wave quality is poor.

From there, it’s back to tiny bumps. The 3rd gives you a 0.6ft ripple, then nothing again until the 5th, where a 0.3ft wave shows up with a 7-second period. The 7th and 8th are flat calm, glassy, no waves.

The second week doesn’t get any better. The 9th of September offers a 1ft wave from the NE, period 7 seconds, energy a pathetic 9. By the 10th and 11th, it’s mostly onshore wind with tiny, choppy swell.

Bottom line: Barceloneta is a no-go for the entire 16-day window. The only semi-rideable moment is the morning of Friday the 28th, and that’s a stretch to call a highlight. For a break that’s already inconsistent, this kind of dry spell is just part of the deal. Leave the board at home.

Check back later—forecasts can always turn around.

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.
