The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up for Barra Vento.
Right out of the gate, we’ve got a bit of a tease. The first good window is Friday morning on the 4th of September. The swell is a clean 4ft from the ESE with a 9-second period, and the wind is glassy from the NNE – dead calm. It’s not a massive day, but the combined wave energy is moderate at (235) and conditions are going to be silky smooth. That’s your best bet for the first week, hands down. The water temp is about average for this time of year, which is fine by me.
After that Friday morning session, the wheels fall off a bit. Afternoon winds freshen up from the ESE, turning it cross-shore and choppy, and the forecast just goes downhill. We see some surfable but ordinary conditions with light winds on Saturday and Sunday mornings, but the swell drops to 3ft and the direction is a bit mixed. For the next several days, from Friday afternoon all the way through to the 12th, it’s mostly a write-off with poor conditions and moderate to fresh onshore winds making a mess of things. There’s a window on Sunday the 13th morning where we get a clean 5ft ESE swell with light cross-offshore wind and a combined energy of (348) – that’s the best-looking swell of the first two weeks, but it’s only good for the morning before the wind swings onshore and chops it up.
For the second week, things get a bit more interesting but less certain. Look out for Tuesday morning the 15th – 4ft of ESE groundswell with a 9-second period, glassy conditions, and a moderate energy reading of (222). That’s a solid, clean morning if you can get out. Then Thursday the 17th morning looks promising with a glassy 5ft ESE swell at 8 seconds and a combined energy of (284). That’s your other standout. The long-range stuff on the 18th and 19th shows some period coming up to 10 seconds with cross-offshore winds, but the energy is still moderate and there’s a chance of rain or storms, so treat that as a hopeful maybe, not a sure thing.
Overall, the standout mornings are this Friday the 4th, Sunday the 13th, Tuesday the 15th, and Thursday the 17th. Get on it early before the afternoon seabreezes ruin it.
Rusty.

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.
