Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks at this spot. The water temp is sitting at a very unusual 60°, which is a solid 6° colder than normal for this time of year, so that’s a proper cold one for ya – don’t forget the thick rubber.
The forecast starts off a bit slow. Monday the 6th isn't much to write home about with a faint 1ft SE swell (608 combined energy) and messy cross-onshore winds. By Monday afternoon, the wind backs off to a light cross-off, cleaning things up, but it’s still small. Tuesday the 7th picks up a little with a 5ft S swell (496 energy) and clean conditions in the morning – that’s rideable but nothing special. Wednesday the 8th has a true standout moment with a 3ft S swell and glassy conditions in the morning – absolutely clean, no wind, just you and the ocean – it could be a sneaky good session if you can get out.
The real action starts brewing for the second weekend. On Sunday the 12th, we’ve got a 8ft S swell in the afternoon (combined energy of 1471) with clean cross-off wind. That’s excellent surf but it’s pushing expert territory – big, powerful, and only for the experienced crew. Another standout is Friday the 17th: a 7ft S swell (1516 energy) with clean, light cross-off winds all day. That’s a solid swell with good energy and clean faces, definitely the best on offer in the long haul.
Don’t get too excited about the week in between, though. From the 15th to the 16th there’s a lull – small, weak, poor conditions. And through the 20th and 21st, the swell drops way down to under 3ft. The last few sessions on the 21st are tiny but glassy, so still worth a paddle if you’re keen on a longboard.
Overall, the clear standouts are the morning of Wednesday the 8th for a glassy, small-wave session, and the afternoon of Sunday the 12th plus Friday the 17th for the big, clean swell that’s only for the brave.
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.
