The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s some real firepower waiting for us if we’re patient. The first week or so is pretty ordinary, with a lot of messy, onshore wind and small, weak swell. The wait will be worth it, though, because the second week brings a couple of proper standouts that’ll get the heart pumping.
Tuesday the 14th is the first real flicker of life. The morning at Barrinha is looking glassy with a 6ft swell from the SE, period at 10 seconds. The wind is dead calm, so it’ll be clean as a whistle. The combined energy is moderate at 615, and that offshore wind from the NW will make for some nice, lined-up walls. It’s a solid option for an intermediate surfer, and you might have a few others out there with you.
Now, the real standout is Wednesday the 22nd. The morning session is the pick of the whole forecast. We’re looking at a solid 8ft swell from the S, with a period of 10 seconds. That’s a lot of water moving, and the combined energy is a massive 1252 – that’s strong. The wind is light from the S, blowing cross-off, so the waves will be clean and holding up. This is big, powerful surf, and it’s only for experienced surfers. The afternoon is a bit more questionable with the wind shifting, but the morning is a legit session.
There’s another big pulse on Friday the 24th. The morning shows a 8ft swell from the E, but with a short period of 8 seconds. The wind is offshore from the SW, so it’ll be clean, but that short period means the waves will be a bit steeper and more dumpy. The combined energy is strong at 1249. This is still a decent option for a confident surfer, but it’s not as clean as the 22nd.
After that, things taper off into the end of the month with smaller, weaker swells and onshore winds again. The gap between the 14th and the 22nd is a bit of a dry spell, with a lot of poor, choppy conditions. Stick to the 22nd morning and the 24th morning for the best of it.
The water temp at Barrinha is a chilly 59°, which is a whopping 7° colder than normal for this time of year. So, you’ll want a thick wetsuit and a good hood.
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.
