Table - best surf conditions forecast for Barra da Lagoa over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking for the next couple of weeks at Barra da Lagoa.
Honestly, the next 16 days are a bit of a mixed bag with a few bright spots, but a whole lot of waiting around. The water is sitting at 60° right now, which is about 6° colder than usual for this time of year – that's a seriously unusual chill, so you'll want a thick wetsuit if you're heading out.
The first real standout is shaping up for Tuesday, July 14th on the morning session. We've got a solid 6ft swell from the SE with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is pumping at 925 (moderate to strong). But the real story is the wind: glassy. Absolutely glassy. That is a major positive for clean conditions. This swell is a bit beefy, getting up over 5ft, so it might be a touch much for the absolute beginners, but it's not into the "experts only" zone yet. The swell direction from the SE is a good match for the break's optimum from the ENE, so expect some fun, shapely lines. This is by far your best bet in the whole window.
Leading up to that, the weekend before is nothing to write home about. Saturday the 11th is a write-off with moderate rain and a cross-shore wind. Sunday morning the 12th sees a brief clean-up with a 4ft ESE swell (502 combined energy) and light offshore wind from the WSW, making for a decent session, but the wind turns southerly and strong in the afternoon, ruining it.
After that Tuesday morning peak, the week goes downhill. The afternoon of the 14th gets a cross-on wind, and from Wednesday the 15th through to the end of the month, it's a long, frustrating stretch of poor conditions. There's a gap of nearly two weeks with no real surf recommendations after that Tuesday morning, with most days showing poor conditions due to onshore winds and weak, inconsistent swell. There are a few small pulses of SE swell around the 23rd and 26th, but the winds are just never clean, and the energy is weak.
For a break that's fairly consistent, this is a tough run. But don't lose hope – forecasts can change. For now, if you're keen, the only real game in town is that Tuesday, July 14th morning glass-off at Barra da Lagoa.
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.
