The Lowdown
Hey everyone, Rusty here. Let’s be real about the surf for the next couple of weeks.
We’re looking at a pretty barren run. From Sunday the 6th all the way through to Saturday the 12th, it’s mostly a write-off. There’s a long gap of flat, messy, or wind-affected conditions. You’ll have to be patient.
The best bet is likely the afternoon of Monday the 14th of September. Barrinha will have some waves, but it’s a tricky one. We’re looking at a 4ft swell from the ENE with a super short 5-second period (moderate combined energy at 187). That’s windswell – junky and weak. The wind will be a light cross-offshore from the ESE, so the surface will be clean, but with that period, the waves will be crumbly and gutless. The break is fairly consistent, and the offshore wind from the S is good for shape, but it’s an intermediate spot, so beginners might want to sit this one out.
Monday morning the 14th is another option. The wind will be glassy from the ESE at 0 km/h, but the swell is tiny at 1ft from the SSE with an 8-second period. The combined energy is very weak at 54. A longboard morning for a slippery, clean session if you’re that keen.
Thursday the 17th of September afternoon has some potential. A 4ft swell from the ENE, again with that short 5-second period (combined energy of 141). The wind will be offshore from the S at 9 mph, giving clean faces. It’s surfable, but ordinary.
After that, the last week from the 18th onward is mostly poor with fresh onshore winds and tiny swells. There’s a flicker of hope on the Monday the 21st afternoon with an offshore wind from the S at 12 mph, but the swell is just 1ft from the ESE. Not a game-changer.
Honestly, it’s a long stretch of average conditions. The afternoon of the 14th and the afternoon of the 17th are your best shots, but don’t expect a classic. The water temp is running about average for this time of year at 72°.
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.
