Righto, let's have a look at what's cookin' for Barrinha over the next couple of weeks.
The water temp is sitting at a pretty normal 75°F for the time of year, so no wetsuit dramas there. The first week is a bit of a mixed bag, with some clean windows but nothing that'll get your heart racing too much. The standout window, without a doubt, is Thursday the 10th of July morning. We’ve got a glassy, clean 4ft swell from the SE pumping in with a long period of 14 seconds – that's a proper groundswell, folks. The energy is moderate at 470, and with NNW wind dropping to glass, it’s gonna be a beautiful morning out there. This one is the pick of the forecast.
Leading up to that, Wednesday the 9th is also looking okay: both morning and afternoon sessions have clean surf with a 4ft SE swell and light offshore winds. The energy is moderate (306 in the morning, 279 in the arvo). Monday the 7th is a write-off with onshore winds and poor conditions.
After that Thursday highlight, things get a bit more ordinary. The weekend of the 12th is a no-go with onshore winds and lumpy, choppy conditions. There’s a little flicker of hope on Tuesday the 15th afternoon with a bigger 6ft SSE swell but only an 8-second period – that’s short period windswell. It's got moderate offshore wind though, and the energy is strong at 730. Worth a look if you’re desperate for a wave, but it’s not going to be the gem Thursday was.
The second week is pretty slim pickings. Wednesday the 16th morning is glassy with a 3ft SE swell (13-second period, 360 energy) – clean but small. And Friday the 18th morning is also glassy with 3ft SE swell (12-second period, 324 energy), but again, it's on the small side. After that, from Saturday the 19th onwards, it’s all onshore wind and tiny, weak surf, so you can pretty much hang the board up for a while.
All in all, for this stretch, you want to be on the water Thursday the 10th of July morning. That’s the one.

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.
