The Lowdown
Righto, folks, Rusty here, giving you the lowdown on Barra da Lagoa.
To be straight with you, it’s a quiet outlook for a good stretch. From right now all the way through to the 27th of September, we’re looking at a proper drought. There’s barely anything worth paddling for those ten or eleven days. A few tiny, weak signals but nothing that’ll get you out of bed. That’s a long dry gap, plain and simple.
The one moment that actually has some bite is on Monday the 28th of September in the morning. That’s the one to circle. We’ve got a pulse of swell coming through at 6ft out of the SSE, with combined energy sitting at 354 (moderate wave power). That’s a solid size – too much for beginners, but the right stuff for anyone who knows what they’re doing. The wind is light out of the SW, giving us a clean cross-off breeze. That’s gold for keeping things glassy. The water is sitting at 64°F, which is a little cooler than usual for this time of year, so don’t leave the wetsuit at home.
After that Monday morning, things drop off again quickly. The 29th has some small surf but the quality falls away.
This spot is usually fairly consistent, so having a blank run like this is a bit of an outlier. Forecasts can flip, so don’t lose hope entirely.

Information about the Barra da Lagoa Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Barra da Lagoa provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Barra da Lagoa can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Barra da Lagoa 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. If you surf the same spot (Barra da Lagoa) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 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. 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.
