Table - best surf conditions forecast for Barrinha over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming.
The first real surfable day is Friday 10 July. The morning at Barrinha is the best of that day – 3ft swell from the ESE, 12-second period, and glassy wind from the SW. The combined energy is 288 (weak to moderate). It’s clean, small but fun. The water temp is about average for the season. The afternoon goes cross-shore and loses its charm.
Saturday 11 July is a wash. Swell is there but the wind is cross-on, light rain, poor quality. Skip it.
Sunday 12 July is the big one for the first week. Morning is clear, offshore wind from the SW at 6 mph, and the swell is 5ft from the ESE with a 12-second period. The combined energy is 1017 (moderate to strong). That’s a good, clean wave. The break is very consistent, so you’ll get plenty. Crowds are sometimes, so expect a few but not a zoo. The afternoon has stronger wind and rain, so get it early.
Monday 13 July still has 5-5ft but the wind is cross-off and the period drops to 8 seconds. It’s a bit junky.
Then it goes quiet. From Tuesday 14 July through Wednesday 22 July, it’s mostly poor. Small swell, cross-on wind, choppy. Over a week of very little. A couple of days have tiny, clean waves but they’re barely knee-high. Not worth the paddle.
Thursday 23 July is the second standout. Morning is glassy – no wind – with 5ft of S swell at 11 seconds, energy at 639 (moderate). The afternoon is even better: 6ft, still glassy, from the SSE, with energy at 851 (strong). That’s a beautiful, clean day. The swell is on the bigger side but the glassy conditions make it a dream.
Friday 24 July morning gets heavy – 8ft from the SSE, cross-on wind, energy at 2309 (strong) – that’s expert territory. The afternoon is 8ft and choppy. Saturday 25 July is 12ft, cross-on, and messy. Kite surfers only.
The two best windows: Sunday morning 12 July and Thursday 23 July (both sessions). The 23rd is the cleaner, bigger, glassier option – that’s the one.
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.
