The Lowdown
Rusty here, and I'm calling it like I see it. The first week and a half is a total dud. We're looking at a flat spell from the start right through until the 10th of August. There's a little bump on the 1st, but it's weak with a combined energy of 83 and the wind is all wrong. From the 2nd to the 9th, it's just tiny, wind-blown junk. You're better off doing something else.
The first real sign of life comes on Monday the 10th. The afternoon sees the wind swing offshore, cleaning up a small but rideable wave. Tuesday the 11th is the first proper window, with clean offshore winds both morning and afternoon. The swell is only 3ft, but the moderate energy and clean faces make it a decent option.
The day to lock in is Wednesday the 12th of August. The afternoon session is the standout. We're looking at a solid 5ft ESE swell pushing in with a moderate offshore wind, making for clean, organized waves. The combined energy is a strong 497, and the forecast is calling for "good surf conditions." That's the one. The water temp is a comfortable 73°, which is about average for this time of year.
From the 13th to the 16th, it's back to messy cross-on winds and lumpy surf, so the 12th is your best bet by a long shot.
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.
