The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Well, the first few days aren’t anything to write home about. We’ve got a little pulse of swell coming through from Wednesday morning, but it’s not a clean situation overall. The real standout arrives later, so hold tight.
Wednesday, July 15th we do get a bit of a window. Barrinha is seeing a 5ft swell from the SE, with a good 11-second period carrying some moderate energy (534). The wind is light from the SSW, which is offshore here, so it’s going to be clean. Water temp is sitting at 74°, dead average for this time of year, nothing weird. Anyway, Wednesday morning is a goer. That afternoon, the wind swings to a light cross-offshore, swell drops to 5ft, still clean. It’s a solid, if not spectacular, day.
Thursday morning, July 16th is the real gem of the first week. We get glassy conditions with a NNE breeze, and the swell is still a clean 5ft from the SE, 11-second period, carrying good energy (467). That’s the one to aim for. Thursday afternoon the wind turns cross-on and it gets messy, so make the most of the morning.
The rest of that week, from Friday the 17th right through until the 26th, it’s a write-off. Cross-on winds, choppy, lumpy, or just flat. There’s a solid 10-day gap there with nothing worth paddling out for. The swell drops right off.
Monday, July 27th things start to stir again. We get a bit of a bump, 4ft to 5ft from the SSE, short period at 6 to 7 seconds, so it’s a bit wind-swellish. The wind is offshore, so it’ll be clean, but the quality is just ordinary. The energy is moderate (145 to 243). Not a standout, but it’s surfable.
Tuesday, July 28th is the big one. That’s the standout. Morning sees a 7ft swell from the SSE, period still short at 7 seconds, but the energy jumps right up to 675 – that’s strong. The wind is offshore, moderate, keeping it clean. This is a punchy, fun-sized wave for intermediate surfers. It’s over 5ft, so maybe not for beginners. Afternoon drops to 5ft, still clean.
After that, Wednesday and Thursday the 30th see it fade back to 4ft to 4ft, with clean conditions but only ordinary quality. The 30th Thursday morning looks glassy again, but it’s small.

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.
