The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Looking at Barra Vento over the next 16 days, it’s a mixed bag – plenty of so-so conditions with only a few standouts. Water temp is 81°, which is a bit warmer than usual for this time of year – you’ll feel it.
The top pick is the morning of Sunday, 22nd September. Wind is light from the north, offshore at 5 mph, with waves about 4ft from the ESE. Period is short at 8 seconds, so not a groundswell, but that offshore breeze will keep the faces clean and fun. Combined energy is moderate at 310 – solid for a beginner-friendly spot like this. It’s a rare clean moment, so get on it early.
Next best is Wednesday, 23rd September. Flat calm, glassy morning with wind at 0 mph. Waves are 4ft from the ESE, 8-second period, and energy at 290. It’s small and weak, but glassy means you can still have a laugh.
Thursday, 24th September morning also has glassy conditions – wind from the NNE at 5 mph, waves 5ft from the ESE, energy 268. Another dawn patrol special.
The real long-range standout, if it holds, is Saturday, 26th September morning. Wind is glassy from the NNE, waves 5ft from the E, 8-second period, and combined energy jumps up to 485 – the strongest of the whole run. That’s a promising little pulse. Mark it in your calendar, but don’t book it in stone just yet.
Outside these windows, it’s mostly cross-shore breezes, lumpy chop, and poor surf. There’s a big stretch from Sunday afternoon right through to Monday, 21st September that’s best left alone.
Stay keen,
Rusty

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.
