The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about Barra de Ibiraquera for the next couple of weeks. It’s gonna be a slow burn. The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t come until Tuesday, August 4th, and that’s just one glassy morning with ordinary waves. This spot is a sheltered beach and point break, so it needs the right combo.
The early part of the forecast is pretty grim – tiny swells, weak energy (mostly under 100), and winds that aren’t helping. Water temp is 19° – pretty standard for the season.
Things pick up on Friday morning, August 7th. Glassy winds and a 1.7m swell from the S, period around 7 seconds. The energy jumps to 507, and with that glassy wind, the point will be clean and fun. Not too big for intermediate surfers, but it’s a solid size. The morning is your best bet.
The big one is Monday, August 10th, morning. A 2.1m S swell, 13-second period, with a *very strong* energy reading (1446). That’s a serious groundswell. A light cross-off wind from the WSW will keep it clean. At 2.1m, this is expert territory – not for beginners. The long period means better shape and bigger gaps between sets, which makes paddling out easier. This is the best session of the whole outlook.
After that, Tuesday morning August 11th offers a drop to 1.1m with glassy conditions (406 energy) – still good, just smaller. Then it fades into weak, messy, small surf for the rest of the window.
Crowds here are listed as “sometimes” busy, so you might have company on the good days, but nothing crazy.
Basically, you’ve got a few days of nothing, then August 7th morning is solid, and August 10th morning is the peak. After that, it’s back to small stuff. Be patient, get on that Monday session.
Rusty.
