Alright, let’s talk Barrinha in feet and miles. This break is consistent and gets a fair amount of swell. Water temp is about 61°F right now, which is nearly 5°F colder than usual – so yeah, pack the thick rubber. Crowds can show up, but it’s worth it.
Friday the 3rd is a skip – cloudy, 12 mph southerly cross-off, 8ft south swell, but it’s not clean. Saturday the 4th is the real standout. Clear sky, light offshore from the SW at 6 mph, and a solid 7ft south swell with a 12-second period – that’s proper groundswell, lots of energy (2039 combined). This one’s for the experienced crew. Saturday afternoon holds at 8ft, still clean with a cross-off southerly. Sunday morning the 5th is glassy – 3 mph NNE breeze, 6ft SSE swell, 11-second period. Clean and lined up, moderate energy (878). Go early.
Then it goes flat and choppy from Monday the 6th through to about Thursday the 11th. Small, onshore, not worth it – a stretch of 4-5 days with nothing.
The next window opens Sunday afternoon the 12th: light rain but cross-off southerly, 5ft SSE swell at 11 seconds – decent shape. Monday the 13th is better: clear, 6ft to 6ft SSE/SE swell, 11-12 seconds, cross-off winds. Good energy around 895. Tuesday morning the 14th goes glassy with a 3 mph north breeze, 5ft SE swell – cleaner but smaller. After that, it fades again. The 17th and 18th have long-period energy but poor wind – not worth the drive.
Best days: Saturday July 4th, Sunday July 5th morning, and Monday July 13th. Mark ’em down.

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.
