Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about our local surf in good old feet, miles per hour, and Fahrenheit.

Alright, first up, we got a bit of a slow start, but don't write it off. The water temp is sitting right on average for this time of year, nothing wild there.

Wednesday the 8th isn't really firing. There's some small swell around 3.0ft from the SE with an 11-second period, but the cross-off wind messes with the shape. The energy is weak (205). You could scratch out a wave, but it's not gonna be pretty.

Thursday the 9th looks more promising. The swell bumps up a touch to 3.6ft, still from the SE, but the wind switches to a light offshore and cross-off, making for cleaner faces. The wave energy is building to a moderate 329 in the morning and a solid 400 in the afternoon. This is your first real call-out for the week. Expect some fun, clean lines, especially as the day goes on. Fairly consistent.

Friday the 10th starts with a solid SE groundswell at 3.6ft and a long 14-second period. That energy is strong (477). This kind of period means better shaped waves and more power. But the wind is onshore in the morning, so it’s gonna be messy. The afternoon turns nasty with strong cross-on winds. A setup like this might actually look better for kite surfing than a paddle. The morning is a gamble at best.

Saturday the 11th is the standout for this first week. You get a clean 3.9ft swell from the ESE with a 13-second period, hitting 456 in the morning and a clean 348 in the afternoon. The key here is the glassy offshore wind – a major positive. This is your best bet in the first few days. Crowds are possible.

After that, we hit a dry spell. Sunday the 12th through most of the second week is a write-off with onshore and cross-onshore winds blowing everything out. There's a wave, sure, but it's all chop and poor conditions. Even a small 2.0ft swell on Monday the 13th gets blown to bits.

Hold on, though. Wednesday the 15th looks promising for the early morning. Glassy conditions, 3.9ft from the SSE, 10-second period, moderate energy (299). That’s a quick window of clean, punchy waves before the wind swings onshore in the afternoon. Get it early.

The real standout, the one you circle on the calendar, is a full week away from now, on Wednesday the 22nd July. We’re looking at a clean, glassy morning with 5.6ft of swell from the east. The wave energy is strong (531). The period is short (7 seconds), so it won’t be groundswell power, but it’ll be fun, rippable waves with no wind. This is a full-on recommendation. It might be a bit much for beginners, but for everyone else, this is the best of the whole run.

The days after that drop off again with cross-shore winds, so hit that Tuesday and Wednesday hard.

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.
