Table - best surf conditions forecast for Barrinha over the next 16 days.
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks at Barrinha.
We’re starting off flat, with nothing worth chasing until Wednesday, July 15. The first few days are a write-off: Monday and Tuesday the 13th and 14th have some offshore wind, but the swell is tiny and the period is short, around 6 to 10 seconds – don’t bother.
The real action hits Wednesday the 15th. Morning swell is 5ft out of the SE with an 11-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 595. Light offshore wind from the S keeps it clean. Wednesday afternoon stays similar, 5ft SE, still with light offshore wind. That’s the best wave of the run.
Thursday the 16th morning is the standout. The swell holds at 5ft from the SE, 11-second period, and the wind goes glassy from the NNE at just 3 mph. That’s pure magic. Water temp is 74°, right around average for the season. It’s a great morning for intermediates, and the 5ft size is okay for confident beginners.
After Thursday afternoon, the wind turns cross-onshore and the quality drops. Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th are mostly poor, with choppy conditions. By Sunday the 19th, the swell is down to 2ft and fading. The rest of the week into the next is a long stretch of tiny, weak surf, mostly onshore or cross-onshore. There’s a blink of glassy conditions on Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th, but the swell is only 2ft to 2ft with a short period – not enough to get excited about.
So, the bottom line: Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th are your go days. Especially Thursday morning with that glassy water. The rest of the 16-day window is a long, flat run.
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.
