The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Barra Vento. Over the next 16 days from July 19th, it’s a real mixed bag. The first stretch is pretty grim – from Sunday the 19th through Tuesday the 21st, there’s nothing worth paddling for. Weak, short‑period swell, cross‑onshore winds, lumpy seas. Even the water temp is about average for this time of year at 79°F, no surprises there.
Then on Wednesday the 22nd morning we get a little window. Swell drops to 6 ft from the ESE, period still short at 8 seconds, but the wind swings light cross‑offshore (ENE 6 mph) and conditions clean up. The combined energy is moderate (460). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. Thursday the 23rd morning is similar – 5 ft ESE, same short period, gentler cross‑off breeze, clean face. Still not a standout.
After that, it’s back to ordinary again. Friday the 24th through to Tuesday the 29th brings mostly onshore winds, choppy, poor surf – a real dry spell. Even Wednesday the 30th morning only offers tiny 2 ft SE swell with a 9‑second period; the wind is light cross‑off again, but it’s barely rideable (energy 119).
Now, here’s where things get interesting. Sunday the 2nd of August morning – that’s a full two weeks out – we see a long‑period groundswell arrive from the SSE. Swell height is only 3 ft, but the period is 16 seconds, and the energy is moderate (715). Wind is light cross‑off from the NE at 6 mph. Clean lines, sets will be well‑spaced – a real treat for a mellow session. Crowds are rare here, so you’ll have plenty of room.
But the real standout is Monday the 3rd of August morning. Swell jumps to 8 ft from the SE with a 12‑second period, and the combined energy is strong (1643). The wind goes glassy – dead calm, 3 mph from the ESE. The water stays warm. This is proper surf: powerful, clean, and for experienced surfers only at that size. If you can handle it, that morning is the best on offer across the whole outlook.
To sum it up: the first week is mostly a washout, with a couple of clean but average days mid‑week. The second week delivers a promising long‑period small swell on the 2nd, and an excellent, glassy, solid swell on the 3rd. Get out there if you can.
