Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming up for Barrinha.
The next couple of days are looking promising, but there's a real standout on Saturday the 4th of July. Saturday morning we're looking at a solid 8ft south swell, with a clean 12-second period. The wind is light offshore from the southwest, making for clean conditions. This is a moderate to strong swell energy (1654), and it's going to be pumping. The water is running at 61°, which is a good 5° cooler than usual for this time of year, so you'll want a thicker wetsuit. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, but it's a bit too big for beginners. The swell direction from the south is a good match for the break's optimum.
Saturday afternoon stays solid at 8ft, but the wind swings more southerly and becomes a cross-offshore, which will still be rideable though a touch less clean. The energy remains strong (1575).
Sunday the 5th is a step down. Morning sees a 7ft south swell with a cross-on breeze, making it a bit bumpy. Energy is still decent (951), but the quality drops. By Sunday afternoon, the swell backs off and the wind goes onshore, so not the best.
Monday the 6th is small and weak for the morning. However, Monday afternoon looks like a sneaky little window: a glassy, light westerly wind with a 4ft SE swell. It'll be small, but clean and surfable.
Overall, Saturday the 4th of July morning is your best call. It’s got the size, the direction, and the clean offshore wind. The rest of the first week is a bit mixed with small to average surf, but Saturday is the day to 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.
