The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Barra Vento over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, this is a tough stretch to get excited about. There’s a big gap of really ordinary, choppy conditions for days on end. The water temp is sitting at 78°, which is spot on average for the time of year, so nothing weird there.
The only window that even starts to look like something worth paddling out for is Thursday the 23rd of July, first light. Keep an eye on that morning – the wind goes glassy with an easterly at only 3 mph, coming in as cross-off. The swell is 5 ft from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds. Sure, it’s not huge, but with that clean surface, it’ll be the most fun you’ll get over the whole outlook. The combined energy reads at 250 (moderate). Everything else after that is pretty rough, mostly cross-onshore breezes and a lot of chop.
Later on, there’s a flicker of hope around Tuesday morning the 4th of August. We’ve got a clean morning with a light ENE breeze at 9 mph (cross-off), a 4 ft ESE swell, and combined energy building to 238 (moderate). The waves will be small but rideable, and the conditions should be clean. It’s the second best call in the whole run, but still – it’s fairly ordinary.
For the rest of the period, it's mostly poor surf conditions, choppy seas, and not much to write home about. Honestly, for a beginner-friendly break like Barra Vento, there’s not much here that’ll make you rush down to the beach.
Rusty.

Information about the Barra Vento Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Barra Vento provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Barra Vento can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Barra Vento 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 (Barra Vento) 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 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.
