The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks at Barrinha. It’s a bit of a slow burner, to be honest. We’ve got a real patch of nothing to start, with the first glimmer of proper surf not showing up until Friday the 24th, and even then it’s nothing to write home about.
So, we’re looking at a gap of a few days of no surf action. The first real chance to get wet comes on Friday the 24th of July. The morning session is where it’s at – we’ve got glassy conditions with the wind going calm, and a little 3ft Easterly swell pushing in. The energy is weak (100), but with the wind flat, those waves will be clean. It’s not big, but it's surfable.
Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are pretty ordinary. The wind is messy, mostly onshore, and the swell is small and weak. The standout moment, and the one you’ve been waiting for, comes on Sunday the 2nd of August. That morning is looking like the pick of the bunch. We’ve got glassy conditions, a light wind, and a solid 2.3ft swell from the SE. But the real story is the period – a very long 14 seconds – and the energy is strong (281). That’s a proper groundswell. For a spot like Barrinha, which is a beach break, those long period swells can sometimes be a bit straight, but the glassy morning wind will make it clean. This is the best on offer.
Then Monday the 3rd of August morning is also a beauty, with another glassy morning, 2.3ft from the SE at 13 seconds (297 energy). It’s a repeat of the good flavour. Tuesday the 4th of August morning is also worth a mention – glassy, 3.6ft from the East, and 308 energy. That’s a little more size, clean and punchy.
The water temp is sitting at 73.4°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
For the long-range, those August mornings look promising, but we’ll have to see how they hold up. The near-term is a bit of a dud, but keep your eye on the 2nd of August – 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.
