Alright, Rusty here again, switchin' over to feet and degrees for the imperial crew.
Right now, the first proper surf hits on Friday afternoon at Barrinha. It's a small but punchy 4ft swell from the ESE, with a moderate energy reading of 401. The water is a chilly 60°, a good few degrees colder than normal, so get the 5/4 out. A light south wind is blowing cross-offshore, keeping the waves clean. This is good for an intermediate surfer. Might be a few other heads bobbin' about though—crowds are possible.
Saturday morning is a bit average with a cross-on breeze, but Saturday afternoon the wind goes completely glassy. That same 4ft ESE swell is still running, and the energy is a moderate 541. It'll be dead smooth, perfect for a groveler or a log.
Now, Sunday morning, July 12th, is your absolute standout. We're looking at a clean 5ft south swell, 11-second period, and a light offshore wind from the WSW. The combined energy is a strong 1298. This is gonna be proper—clean, well-shaped, and plenty of push for intermediates. That’s the session to clear the calendar for. Sunday afternoon bumps up to 7ft from the south, but the period crashes to 7 seconds, and the wind picks up, making it a bit lumpy. That size is getting into expert territory for the wind chop.
Monday morning still holds some size at just over 6ft from the south, with a light cross-off wind and strong energy at 927. A solid backup day.
From Tuesday onwards, it’s pretty grim. The wind shifts hard to the north and northeast, mostly cross-on or onshore, and the swell fades fast. By the 18th, the energy is down to weak two-digit numbers. You're looking at over a week of flat, messy conditions from the 15th right through the 24th.
Way out there, on Saturday the 25th, there's a whisper of hope with a glassy morning and a 4ft south swell starting to show some energy (334), but that's a long way off. Don't hold your breath. The real action is Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th. Go get it.

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.
