The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour. Monday morning at Barrinha is firing. You’re looking at chest-to-head-high waves, around 5ft from the SSW with an 11-second period – that’s proper groundswell with heaps of push (1157 energy). The wind is light and cross-off, so the faces will be clean. Water’s sitting at 62°, which is a few degrees cooler than usual – grab the thicker rubber. Monday afternoon gets even better as the wind goes glassy, dropping the swell to a tidy 4ft from the south. This is the best surf of the whole stretch.
Tuesday drops to a knee-to-waist-high 3ft from the south, still clean in the morning, but the energy’s lighter (263). Wednesday morning bumps back up to 4ft from the south with an 8-second period – a little more windswell-like, but still rideable.
Then we hit a lull. From Thursday the 17th through to Sunday the 21st, the wind turns onshore and the swell drops to barely a ripple – less than 1ft. That’s a solid five days of nothing. Monday the 21st afternoon throws a 7ft easterly swell at you, but with onshore wind, it’s a messy situation.
The next highlight is Tuesday the 22nd morning: a 6ft east swell with light cross-off winds and clean conditions – that’s a genuine contender. Wednesday the 23rd morning keeps that going with a 5ft east swell and clean glassy moments. There’s also a distant look at Monday the 28th with a 6ft south swell and clean cross-off wind, but that’s two weeks out – keep it on the radar, but don’t bank on it yet.
Your best calls are Monday morning and Tuesday the 22nd morning. The rest is a waiting game.

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.
