Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's happening at Barra da Lagoa.
First things first, Friday the 3rd and Saturday the 4th are pretty dead. You’re looking at flat spells or tiny, average waves in mediocre conditions. Not much to get excited about.
Now, the real standout to lock in is Sunday the 5th. That morning is your prime window. We're talking a clean 6ft groundswell out of the SSE with a solid 11-second period. The wind is totally glassy, dead calm – that is a major plus for smooth, clean waves. The combined energy is at a solid 828 (moderate wave energy). For a beginner spot like this, that's as good as it gets. It'll be manageable but with plenty of fun waves. Just a heads up, the water's sitting at 62°, which is much colder than normal for the season, so you'll want a good wetsuit.
After that, things get a bit average for a while. Winds shift onshore or cross-shore during the week, and though there are some 4ft to 4ft swells around Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th, the conditions look mixed and choppy.
Looking further ahead, Monday the 13th of July is another one to get on the radar. The morning has a clean 5ft SSE groundswell with a longer 12-second period, and the wind is looking clean and cross-offshore. The combined energy hits 711 (moderate wave energy). That could be a really fun session.
Then, for the distant horizon, we’ve got Saturday the 18th of July. That morning shows a very long-period (15 seconds) groundswell, pushing 6ft from the SSE with strong 1458 combined energy (strong wave energy). That long period can be a bit of a double-edged sword for a beach break like Barra – it might make the waves a bit sectiony and straight. But with light cross-shore wind, it could still be a morning for some bombs.
Most of the time between these windows is poor. So, aim for the mornings on Sunday the 5th and Monday the 13th for your best shots.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
