The Lowdown
Rusty here. Let's talk about the surf outlook for this part of the coast, centered on Barra da Lagoa.
Honestly, we’re looking at a long, dry spell. For the next 13 days or so, there’s not a whole lot to get the heart pumping. The water's about 63°, which is a touch cooler than average for this time of year, so you'll want the rubber.
The one true highlight in this whole 16-day window is Thursday, August 7th. That morning we’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the SE, running at 10 seconds, and the wind is going to be totally glassy. It’s going to be clean as a whistle. The wave energy is moderate at 269, and while it’s not big, the conditions should be spot on. Save your energy for that Thursday morning.
There’s a small chance on the 5th and 6th of August with slightly bigger swell – around 4ft to 4ft from the SE with a longer 12-second period (384-396 energy) – but the wind is all wrong. It’ll be cross-shore and cross-onshore, making it a choppy mess. That longer period means better shape, but it’ll be a fight. Hard pass unless you’re really keen.
For the rest of the period, it’s flat or blown out. A few days have clean, glassy conditions but with almost no swell (0.3ft to 2ft). This setup is honestly looking better for a kite session than a paddle. Just be patient and wait for that Thursday the 7th.
Rusty.

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.
