The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles.
Right now, we’ve got a flat spell to start. No real surf for several days. The first chance to get wet is Tuesday morning, July 21st. Small 2ft waves from the south with a period of 11 seconds, and glassy conditions. It’s surfable but nothing special. Water temp is 60°, which is a full 6° colder than usual for this time of year – definitely not a board-shorts day.
The big standout is Wednesday, July 22nd. Morning brings a solid 7ft south swell with a very long period of 15 seconds, cross-off wind, and huge energy (3138). Clean, powerful, and heavy. The afternoon stays clean with 7ft waves and energy still massive (1714). This is for experienced surfers only – over 8ft, so it’s serious. That 15-second period will produce long, down-the-line waves, but at a beach break it might section off. Still, for the right crew, this is the absolute best of the forecast.
Thursday, July 23rd morning is also good: 6ft from the SSE, 11-second period, glassy, and strong energy (836). Very clean and fun for intermediate and above.
Looking into the second week, Monday, July 28th shows 8ft south swell with a short 8-second period and cross-on wind, giving messy conditions. Tuesday, July 29th morning is glassy with 4ft south swell, short period, but clean. Decent but not a standout.
Barrinha breaks very consistently, faces SE, and crowds are sometimes around. The start is slow, the 22nd is the big day, then it trails off.
Rusty, out.

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.
