Table - best surf conditions forecast for Barrinha over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
The first proper surf window opens up on Saturday the 11th, but it’s a bit of a forgettable session. There’s some swell pushing in at 3ft from the ESE, but it’s got a bit of cross-breeze and that water temp is a full 4° colder than usual – sitting at 59°, so you’ll be wanting a thick steamer.
The real standout is Sunday the 12th, morning session. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the south, and the wind is offshore and light. The water energy is chunky at 733 (moderate), and conditions are set to be really good. This is the pick of the first week.
Monday the 13th morning keeps the good times rolling: 6ft from the south, offshore wind, clean lines. The period is a bit short at 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit weaker and more crumbly, but still well worth a paddle.
Then Tuesday the 14th morning is a quiet gem. Glassy conditions, 7ft from the SE, and a longer period of 10 seconds. The energy is strong (875), and with absolute glass, it’s going to be smooth and fun. This is another top session.
After that, things get rough. From Tuesday afternoon all the way through to Saturday the 25th, it’s a long stretch of onshore slop, cross-on winds, and generally poor conditions. The swell drops and the wind stays nasty. There’s a gap of nearly two weeks of not much to write home about.
However, the long-range forecast shows a serious pulse for Sunday the 26th morning. We’re looking at a big 10ft from the SSW, but that’s too big for this break. The energy is massive (1360), but it’s a warning: this is for experts only, and even then, it might be a washing machine. The wind is cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but the size is intimidating.
Keep it on the radar for the Sunday morning, but for the rest, it’s a waiting game.
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.
