Alright, let's break it down for the next couple weeks here.
There’s a quiet start before any real surf shows up. The first window worth paddling for opens on Saturday, July 4th.
The big standout is Barrinha on Saturday, July 4th. Morning and afternoon both look excellent. The swell is coming from the south at 8ft to 8ft with a period of 11 to 12 seconds – that’s real groundswell, with plenty of push. The combined energy is massive: 1519 in the morning, 1575 in the afternoon. Wind is cross-off from the SW and S, keeping the faces clean and the waves punchy. It’s very consistent, so you might have some company, and at that height it’s only for experienced surfers. Beginners and intermediates should sit this one out – over 8ft is expert-only territory.
Sunday, July 5th morning is another good call. The swell drops a bit to 7ft from the SSE with an 11 second period, and the wind goes glassy from the NNW at just 3 mph. That’s about as clean as it gets. Combined energy is 972, and the water temp is normal for this time of year. The afternoon turns onshore from the NE and goes marginal, so get your session in before lunch.
Then there’s a long, flat stretch. Monday the 6th through to Friday the 10th are mostly poor or just okay – small waves, poor wind, and low energy numbers (most under 500). Tuesday the 7th and Monday the 13th have some 6ft to 6ft swell from the SSW, but with only a 7 second period, so the waves are short and weak. Not worth getting out of bed for.
Things pick up again in the second week. Thursday, July 16th has 8ft swell from the south with 10 second period and cross-off wind, energy at 1402. That’s a solid, punchy day. But Friday, July 17th is a beast: 10ft south swell with a very long 15 second period and energy blasting at 3555. The wind is cross-off, but the swell is just too massive for this break. Only the brave and the heavily-armed should even consider it. That kind of setup might be better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Saturday, July 18th morning settles down to a more user-friendly 5ft from the south with 13 second period, light offshore from the SW, and energy at 862. That could be a really clean, fun session with long, lined-up waves.
All in all, the first weekend is where it’s at, with Saturday the 4th being the absolute best. The long-range stuff is promising but not locked in yet, so keep checking.

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.
