The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
We’ve got a short window of clean, small waves early on, then a long stretch of choppy, blown-out conditions. The best days are right at the start.
Wednesday morning, 2nd September at Barra Vento shows 4.6ft of east swell with a light offshore north wind. Period is 9 seconds, so there’s some push. The combined energy is moderate (292). The water temp is about normal for this time of year. For a beginner-friendly spot that breaks fairly often, it’s a solid start.
Thursday the 3rd is a washout – cross-shore wind and storms.
Friday morning, 4th September is the standout. The wind is dead calm, glassy, and the swell is 3.6ft from the east (9s). Energy is moderate (246). With zero wind, the waves will be clean, smooth, and fun. This is the best session of the whole outlook.
Saturday morning, 5th September is still worth it – 3.3ft of east swell with a light offshore north breeze. Clean, but smaller.
From Sunday the 6th through to about the 13th, the wind goes onshore or cross-shore, and the swell gets messy. There’s a big pulse of 9.8ft swell on the 10th (8s, energy 1086) but it’s hammered by strong cross-onshore wind. That’s kite or windsurf territory, not for a paddle board.
There’s a brief clean-up on Monday the 7th morning – 3.6ft, 6-second period, with a light cross-offshore breeze – but the period is short, so waves will be weak and lumpy.
The second week is mostly poor. Wednesday morning, 16th September shows 5.6ft east swell (9s, energy 456) with a light cross-offshore breeze. That could be decent, but it’s a long way out. Thursday morning, 17th September looks similar – 5.6ft, clean offshore north wind. Again, over a week away, so keep your expectations in check.
Bottom line: Friday 4th September is your best bet. Saturday 5th is a solid backup. The rest is a gamble.

A general guide to surfing at Barra Vento can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 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. 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.
