The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
The short story is, we're in for a bit of a dry spell. The first real chance to get wet doesn't show up until Wednesday the 15th. Before that, it's flat and not worth a second look. That Wednesday morning, we've got a clean little window at Barrinha (Vitoria). The swell is coming in at 5ft from the SE, with an 11-second period pushing moderate energy (534). The real kicker is the wind; it's a light offshore breeze from the south at 10 mph, so the face will be clean. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. This is easily the best session on offer, but it's a short-lived highlight.
From Wednesday afternoon onwards, the wind starts to turn on us, and the quality drops off fast. The swell hangs around but the conditions just aren't there. We get a few more days of waist to chest high swell, but the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, making it choppy and messy. There's a bit of a pulse on the 19th, but the period drops to 7 seconds and the wind is against us, so it's a no-go.
After that, it's a long, quiet stretch. The swell fades out towards the end of July, and the wind stays mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things poor. Honestly, for the rest of the 16 days, there's not a single standout. The last few days of the forecast show a few glassy windows, but the swell is tiny – under 3ft – and the energy is weak. The 29th shows a bump in energy (394) and a long 13-second period, but the wind is howling cross-onshore, so it's a write-off.
So, bottom line: if you can get out on Wednesday morning the 15th, you'll find the best of it. After that, 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.
Barrinha is 7 km (4 miles) from the city of Vila Velha. If you plan a holiday in Espírito Santo, look for hotels and other accommodation in Vila Velha. Vila Velha has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
