Table - best surf conditions forecast for Barrinha over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour.
First up, we’ve got a bit of a mixed start. Monday the 13th, there’s a solid 7ft south swell, period around 8 seconds, and the energy is strong (1089). The wind is light offshore, so it’s clean. Good for intermediate surfers. Monday afternoon drops just a hair to 6ft, wind turns cross-offshore, still rideable.
Tuesday the 14th morning is glassy, barely a breath of wind, with a 6ft swell from the southeast, period up to 10 seconds. That’s a clean, lined-up wave, energy at (614). This is a standout window. Afternoon gets cross-on and choppy, so hit the early session.
Wednesday the 15th through the 20th is a flat spell. Swell under 3ft, onshore winds, choppy. Nothing worth paddling out for, about five or six days of nothing.
Monday the 21st shows a little pulse. Clean offshore wind with a 2ft south swell (205 energy). Small, but clean. Tuesday the 21st afternoon bumps to 2ft from the SSE, but the period stretches to 14 seconds – proper groundswell – and energy jumps (282). Small, but clean and lined up.
Wednesday the 22nd morning is the first real call. Swell hits 5ft from the SSE, period 12 seconds, light offshore wind, energy at (569). Clean, solid for intermediates.
The big one is Saturday the 25th. Saturday morning is glassy, dead calm, with a 7ft south swell, 10-second period, and energy at (1530). This is excellent for experienced surfers. Morning is the session.
Sunday the 26th is also for the experienced crew. Morning sees 8ft SSE swell, 14-second period (very long period), clean cross-offshore wind, energy huge at (2568). Afternoon holds at 7ft with cross-off winds, energy at (1828). This is big groundswell – best on a point or reef, not a beach break.
After that, it fades. So mark your calendar: Tuesday the 14th morning for clean lines, and Saturday the 25th morning for size and glass.

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.
