Alright folks, let’s look at what’s coming. The next couple weeks are mostly small, with just a few clean windows that’ll get you in the water. Nothing huge, but there are a couple of mornings worth setting the alarm for.
First real chance is at Barrinha. The early part of the week is ordinary—Saturday July 5th has glassy conditions but only small 3ft east swell. On Sunday July 5th morning, a clean SSE swell at 2ft comes in with a long 13-second period and offshore southwest wind. Combined energy is moderate (268). It’s small but quality is good.
Then Monday July 6th morning is the standout. Swell jumps to 5ft from the south at 11 seconds, cross-offshore SSW wind, and combined energy hits 616—moderate but much stronger. The wave comment says expect good surf. That’s your best session of the whole run.
Water temp is around 75°F, average for this time of year, nothing weird.
After Monday, it gets hit-or-miss. Tuesday is blown out by north winds. Thursday July 9th morning is another good one—glassy calm, 4ft southeast swell, combined energy 447. Clean and rideable.
The weekend of July 11-12 has storm risk and onshore winds, so not great. Friday July 17th morning is glassy with 4ft swell but only a 6-second period—short period junk, not worth the drive.
From July 13th onward, the swell drops off hard. Combined energy often below 200, swells under 3ft. There’s a long stretch of poor or marginal conditions with only brief clean moments. July 18th still has small swell and some glass, but nothing to write home about.
So your best bets: Sunday July 5th morning for small clean waves, Monday July 6th morning for the best size and quality, and Thursday July 9th morning for glassy clean conditions.
Second week is quiet. Be patient.

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.
