Hey, it's Rusty. Barrinha's water is running much colder than average at 62° right now – about 5° colder than usual, so you'll want a thick suit.
First few days are pretty lackluster. Monday afternoon the 6th turns glassy with 4ft SE swell – nothing special but a quick window of clean waves. The real deal comes Sunday, July 12th. That morning: flat calm winds, 5ft S swell with a 12-second period, moderate wave energy (838). Clean, consistent, and perfect for intermediates. Crowds might show up, but the quality is worth it. Afternoon holds up too with a light offshore breeze.
Then it gets hairy. Monday 13th through Wednesday 15th see swell jacking over 10ft – way too big for this spot. Save your energy. The absolute standout is Thursday morning, July 16th: 8ft of SE groundswell, 13-second period, glassy conditions, strong energy (1967). This is expert territory only. The swell direction is exactly what Barrinha loves, so expect long, clean walls. Just remember that long-period SE swell can straighten out on the beach – pick your spot.
After that the swell drops and the wind turns onshore, so the rest of the second week fizzles into small chop. Sunday the 12th for the mid-level crew, Thursday the 16th for the charger. Rusty out.

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.
