Table - best surf conditions forecast for Barrinha over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming our way down at Barrinha.
Alright, look, the next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, but there's a real gem hiding in there if you're patient. We start off with some decent, surfable waves, but things get a bit messy mid-week before we see a proper pulse of energy.
Tuesday morning (7 July) we've got some fun, clean waves rolling in. Swell is a solid 5ft from the south, with a short period of 8 seconds – so it'll be a bit chopped up and sectiony, but the cross-off wind is keeping it clean. The water is absolutely freezing though, a full 3° colder than normal, so you'll want a good thick suit and booties. The combined energy is moderate at 522. By Tuesday afternoon the wind swings light cross-shore, and the swell drops a touch to 5ft.
Wednesday the 8th is where it starts to clean right up. Morning is looking glassy with a light northwesterly, swell at 4ft from the south, but the period bumps to 9 seconds. It’s small but perfect. The afternoon gets a bit funky with a cross-on wind, so hit the early session.
Thursday and Friday are smaller and a bit all over the shop. Thursday morning has a weak 3ft swell, and Friday is even smaller. There's a nice little window on Friday afternoon though, with the swell picking up to 4ft and clean cross-off conditions.
Now, Sunday the 12th of July is the one to circle on your calendar. The morning sees a solid 6ft south swell with an 11-second period, and the energy is cranking at 1037. It's clean with cross-off wind. But the afternoon is the absolute standout – 7ft of south swell, same 11-second period, and glassy conditions. This is proper, powerful surf that'll have some punch. It's big enough that it's really for experienced surfers only. A true Sunday session to remember.
After that, the swell backs right off. Monday the 13th has clean waves at 4ft, but it's a fleeting window. From Tuesday the 14th onwards, we hit a long dry spell. Through to the end of the forecast on Wednesday the 22nd of July, it's mostly small, weak swell with onshore or cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions. There are a few days with barely any energy at all – the combined energy reading drops to just 21 at one point. It’s going to be a quiet stretch after that big Sunday.
So to put it simply: Sunday the 12th is your day. Everything else is a bit of a gamble.
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.
