The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a mixed bag for Barrinha over the next two and a half weeks. The first real window is Tuesday morning, July 14th – a nice pulse of SE swell hits 6ft with a 10-second period and glassy conditions. That’s as clean as it gets, and the direction is exactly what this spot needs. Moderate energy at 615, but the waves will be lined up nicely. Crowds can show up, so get in early if you can. Just a heads up – 6ft might be a bit much for beginners.
But don’t get too comfortable. By Tuesday afternoon the wind shifts cross-on and it’s all downhill. Wednesday through the following Monday? Dead. Small, choppy, poor conditions – a real dry spell that lasts about a week.
Then on Wednesday the 22nd of July, things finally change. The morning session serves up a 5ft S swell, clean with a light cross-off breeze – good solid waves. But the real standout is Wednesday afternoon: 5ft S swell, cross-off wind, and the energy jumps to 798 – that’s the strongest of the whole forecast. The direction isn’t the perfect SE, but the quality makes up for it. If you can wait, that’s the pick.
After the 22nd, it’s back to small, cross-on slop for the rest of the run. A few marginal moments on the 28th and 29th, but nothing to get excited about.
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.
