Table - best surf conditions forecast for Barra Vento over the next 16 days.
Right, let’s talk surf. First thing’s first – the next couple of days are a bit quiet. Real action doesn’t fire up until Saturday, July 11th. There’s a stretch of weak, ordinary waves before that, so plan accordingly. The best of the whole window is that Saturday morning, with Sunday morning, July 12th being a solid second choice.
The spot here is Barra Vento. It’s a beginner-level break, fairly consistent, soaking up swell from the south.
Water temp is 26°, which is right on the mark for this season.
Wednesday morning (July 8th): Small waves at 0.7m, SSE swell, 12-second period giving it a bit of life. Light NW wind, cross-off, so it’s clean. Energy is moderate at 195. It’s surfable but tiny. Afternoon turns onshore and messy.
Thursday (July 9th): Morning sees 1.1m from the SSE, 12-second period, with a cross-shore wind from the east at about 6 mph. Energy is up at 358. It’s marginal. Afternoon goes cross-shore and choppier.
Friday (July 10th): Cross-on wind from the SE messes up the 1.1m swell. Not worth a paddle.
Saturday morning (July 11th) – GAME ON: Swell hits 1.3m from the SE with a long 13-second period. Combined energy is strong at 576. Wind is glassy – light NNW at 3 mph, cross-off. This is clean, lined-up, proper surf for a beach break. The longer period can make the waves a bit straight, but this size and direction should turn on some fun ones. This is the standout. Afternoon gets ruined.
Sunday morning (July 12th): Solid backup. 1.0m from the SE, 12-second period, with a light offshore breeze from the NNE at 3 mph. Clean surf, energy at 303. A good session but not as powerful as Saturday.
After Sunday, the surf drops off. Small, weak swell holds through the next week. There’s a size bump around July 22-23, with waves over 1.5m, but the wind is cross-on and choppy, making it a better call for kiting than traditional surfing. No other standout in that far-out period.
Get on that Saturday morning, July 11th – it’s the best this forecast has to offer. Sunday morning is your second pick.

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.

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.
