The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the local stretch. We've got a run of small, clean conditions coming up, but with a whole lot of nothing in between. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
The first real chance to get wet kicks off on Friday, 24 July. We've got a tiny 3ft easterly swell at 8 seconds, nothing to write home about energy-wise (99). But the wind is glassy from the south in the morning, so it’ll be clean. That’s the main draw. The afternoon looks okay too, with a gentle offshore breeze from the SSE, keeping things tidy. The next morning, Saturday, 25 July, is much the same – glassy, clean, and small. The swell drops to 2ft, but honestly, for a little log or a longboard, it’ll be alright. The energy is weak (78), so don't expect any power.
Then it gets a bit grim. From Sunday, 26 July afternoon right through to the start of August, conditions turn pretty ordinary. We get a bit of a bump in energy on the 26th morning (120) but it’s not consistent. The wind turns onshore and cross-shore, and the swell gets mixed up and messy. There's a period of onshore winds and lumpy conditions that will last for several days, with no real surfable quality. You’re looking at a gap of nearly a week of poor quality.
Now, there is a glimmer towards the end. Monday, 03 August morning sees a return to glassy conditions, with a 2ft easterly swell. The energy is moderate (120), and the wind is dead calm. That’s a standout morning for a clean, fun session on the small stuff. The afternoon on 03 August is also clean with a light offshore, but the swell is a bit smaller. Friday, 07 August morning is another glassy one, but again, it’s small.
So, the best on offer is Friday, 24 July morning and Monday, 03 August morning. Both are small, clean, and glassy. The 24th gives you the first shot, and the 3rd looks like the best call for a proper clean session. The rest of the window is a write-off for quality waves until you get to those far-out dates.
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.
