Table - best surf conditions forecast for Barra da Lagoa over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here for Barra da Lagoa. This spot's great for beginners – fairly consistent but often crowded. Water temp is 63°F, which is a couple degrees cooler than normal, so you'll want a wetsuit.
Over the next couple weeks, it's a mixed story. Tuesday 7 July morning offers some chest‑high SE swell around 4 ft with a 10‑second period, but the cross‑off south wind makes it messy. Combined energy is moderate at 250. Wednesday and Thursday stay small and chopped up – not worth it.
Friday 10 July brings a nicer window. Morning is glassy with a tiny 2 ft ESE swell but a long 14‑second period – groundswell – energy 249. It's clean but small. The afternoon picks up to 3 ft, same long period, cross‑off wind, and energy hits 444 – much more appealing on a longboard.
Saturday 11 July sees the biggest swell: 5 ft ESE, 13‑second period, energy 663. That's got some push, but the cross wind keeps it from being perfect.
The real standout is Sunday morning, 12 July. We get a 4 ft SSE swell with a solid 12‑second period, energy 594, and the wind goes offshore from the WSW – dead glassy. That's your cleanest, most lined‑up surf of the whole 16 days. Expect waist‑to‑chest high waves with good shape. Crowds will be there – it's a Sunday after all – but if you get out early, you'll score.
After Sunday afternoon, it goes downhill. Monday and Tuesday are messy, wind‑affected. From Thursday 16 July onward, the swell drops to under 2 ft with short period and cross‑onshore winds – basically flat or junk. The entire second week is a dud. So mark your calendar for that Sunday morning session – everything else is pretty average.

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.
