Table - best surf conditions forecast for Barrinha over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the surf picture for the next couple of weeks.
The biggest story is the wait. We’ve got a solid run of small, poor surf to kick things off, so don't bother paddling out for the first few days. The good stuff finally shows up on Sunday the 12th, and it's a proper session.
The standout window is Sunday morning, July 12th, at Barrinha. The ocean is serving up a clean 6 ft ESE swell, with glassy conditions as the wind goes light offshore from the SW. That’s a long period, 12-second groundswell pushing a lot of energy (1264), so set waves will be well-shaped and have some punch. This is the morning to get among it. The afternoon shifts to a stronger cross-offshore wind but the swell direction swings south, and while it’s still surfable, it’s not as clean as the morning glass.
The week after that drops off. Monday the 13th has some size at 7 ft but it’s short-period, wind-affected swell, and the energy is starting to fragment. From Tuesday the 14th through to the 22nd, it’s mostly small, choppy, and cross-onshore. There’s a tiny window on the morning of Wednesday the 22nd with some glassy 2 ft waves, but it’s ordinary. The second half of the month sees a pulse of 6 ft on the 24th, but the wind is messy and cross-onshore, so only for the die-hard kooks or kite surfers.
Water temp at Barrinha for the first call is 59°, which is a massive 7° colder than normal for this time of year. That’s a proper winter wetsuit situation.
So, don't hold your breath for the first week. The pick is Sunday morning, July 12th. Get it while it’s glassy.
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.
Barrinha is 17 km (11 miles) from Imbituba. If you plan a holiday in Santa Catarina - Sul, look for hotels and other accommodation in Imbituba. Imbituba has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
