Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s cooking at Barra da Lagoa.
To be straight with you, it’s a slow burn. The start of the period is basically a dead zone for days. Really quiet, barely a ripple, so don’t bother rushing down.
The first chance to get wet comes up on Sunday, July 7th. Early in the morning, with some clouds overhead, there’s a 3ft SSE swell running at 10 seconds. The wind is offshore from the south, leaving it clean and glassy. The combined energy sits at a moderate 229. It’s small, but it’s rideable and the surface is smooth.
A few days later on Wednesday the 10th, the early morning is clean again but tiny – a 2ft ESE swell (72 energy). It’s a glassy start, only for the longboard or the patient type.
The real event is Saturday, July 20th. The afternoon brings a 5ft SSE swell with a long 13-second period. That’s real groundswell energy, pushing the combined energy to 902. The wind is cross-shore from the north, so it won't be perfect, but there’s plenty of push. This is for the experienced crew – beginners should sit this one out.
Water temperature is 62°F, which is 4° colder than what’s normal for the season. That’s a significant chill, so a 4/3mm wetsuit is the call.
This break is fairly consistent, but the first week is a write-off. You’re waiting until that July 20th window for the only real standout of the whole forecast. The rest is mostly flat or messy.
Rusty.

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 da Lagoa 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.
