Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer down at Barra Vento. The next two weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, but don’t let that get you down. We’ve got a real standout session coming up that should make the waiting worthwhile.
It’s a slow start. For the first week, the swell is pretty marginal, and the winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, messing up the shape. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing weird there. You’ll want to sit tight for a few days.
Now, the real story kicks off on Saturday morning, July 11th. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. We’re looking at a solid 4ft swell out of the SE, with a 12-second period. That’s a nice, long-period groundswell carrying good energy (443). This is a point break setup, so that long period will wrap in nicely. The wind is coming from the NNW at 6 mph, which is a clean, cross-offshore breeze. It’ll be glassy and well-shaped. This is the standout session of the entire outlook. Crowds are rare here, so you might have some waves pretty much to yourself.
After that high, the surf tapers off a bit. Sunday morning, July 12th, still has some decent 4ft SE swell (333), and the wind is offshore from the NNW at 9 mph. It’ll be clean but not quite as punchy as Saturday. Monday morning, July 13th, we get another small window with offshore wind (N, 3 mph) and clean conditions, but the swell has dropped to 3ft (213).
After that, the energy really fades away. The second week is a series of smaller days, mostly under 3ft, with a lot of onshore wind. There are a couple of moments where it goes glassy, like Thursday morning, July 16th, with only 1ft of swell (74) but absolutely no wind. It’s a lake, but you could go for a paddle. Sunday morning, July 19th, is also glassy with 2ft of weak E swell (96). These are flat days for surfing proper waves, but clean as a whistle.
In all honesty, if you’re looking for a real surf, July 11th morning is your window. After that, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing when the wind picks up. Keep an eye on the charts, though; forecasts can change.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Barra Vento 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.
