The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the outlook is grim for the first week and a half. There’s a big gap of nothing special from now until the 5th of August. The little swell that does show up is weak, the wind is mostly messy, and the scores are just not there. You’d be wasting your time and petrol. It’s a long, quiet stretch where the ocean just doesn’t want to cooperate.
We finally get a flicker of life on the morning of Wednesday, August 5th. Barrinha is the only spot in the game, and it’s a late call. The morning session is where it’s at. We’ve got clean, glassy conditions with a light 4ft swell pushing in from the SE. The wind is dead calm – glassy as it gets. The combined energy is moderate (366), so there’s enough push for a fun little wave. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s a bit of a short-period wind swell, but the conditions will make it work. Expect a few others to be out there, as crowds are sometimes an issue here.
The real standout, the one you need to circle on your calendar, is the morning of Thursday, August 6th. This is the best on offer. We’ve got a solid 8ft swell from the ESE, and the wind is glassy again – dead calm. The combined energy is strong (882), so there’s proper power in the water. This is a bigger swell, over 8ft, so this is for experienced surfers only. Beginners, stay on the sand for this one. With the 9-second period, it’s a bit short-period, but the clean glassy conditions will make up for a lot. The wind will be perfect, and the waves will have some real grunt. It’s a long way off, so keep an eye on the forecasts, but this is the window to aim for.
The afternoon of that same day, and the following days, get blown out or become too lumpy with onshore winds, so get your session in early.
Water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual to report.
So, to sum it up: a long, dry spell, then a short, sweet window on the 5th and especially the morning of the 6th of August. That’s your moment.
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.
