The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the surf ahead.
Our main spot is Barrinha. The water temp is about 64°F, which is normal for this time of year. The real action kicks off Friday morning the 24th. We’ve got a solid 6ft of south-east swell, with glassy conditions – dead calm, no wind. The wave energy is pumping at 534. This is a very consistent break, and the swell direction is just what it wants. This is the standout session. Keep in mind, at this size it’s intermediate territory, so beginners might be in over their head. Crowds can show up sometimes, so get in early.
By Friday afternoon, the wind shifts onshore and things get messy. Saturday’s a write-off with cross-on winds. Sunday the 26th is small and choppy.
The middle of the week is flat and windy. Not much to get excited about.
Then, on Friday the 31st, the wind drops out again in the afternoon. We’ve got 4ft of south swell, glassy surface, and the energy jumps to 458. That’s your second real window for clean waves.
A small but clean window shows up on Monday the 3rd of August: 3ft of south swell, dead calm morning, period at 13 seconds. The energy is 268. That’s small but clean, good for a longboard.
After that, the wind hammers things again. The 8th of August shows a 5ft jump, but with heavy cross-on winds, it’s more of a kite session than a surf session. That’s a long way out, so don’t plan your life around it.
Best calls: Friday the 24th for the solid, clean swell, and Friday the 31st for another glassy afternoon.
Rusty.

Information about the Barrinha Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Barrinha provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Barrinha can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Barrinha 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 (Barrinha) 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 Barrinha 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.
Barrinha is 17 km (11 miles) from Imbituba. If you plan a holiday in Santa Catarina - Sul, look for hotels and other accommodation in Imbituba. Imbituba has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
