The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
We’re going to need a bit of patience, because the start of the period is pretty grim. From Monday the 10th all the way through to Thursday the 20th of August, there’s barely a window worth paddling out for. The few small bumps we see are plagued by onshore winds, cross-offshore winds, or just plain messy conditions. The first real hope arrives on the morning of Friday the 21st.
That Friday morning at Barrinha is the standout. The winds go glassy, calm, with a light air from the southwest. The swell is a clean 4ft from the SSE, with a long period of 16 seconds, giving it plenty of energy – the combined energy reading is 661 (moderate). The water temperature is sitting at 74°, which is about normal for this time of year. For a surfer, this is the one to circle. The swell direction is a nice match for the break, and with glassy conditions, the waves will be well-shaped and user-friendly for intermediate surfers. It’s fairly consistent, but you’ll want to get there early as crowds are possible.
Beyond that, the outlook fades again. The afternoon of the 21st turns poor with a side-shore breeze, and the rest of the weekend into the following week is a write-off with strong cross-onshore winds and much smaller, weaker swell. The Friday morning is the only real highlight in the whole 16-day window.
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.
