The Lowdown
Right, let's have a look at what we've got here. Well, I've gotta be straight with you, for this 16-day stretch at Barrinha, it's a bit of a lean run. The board's gonna be gathering dust for the first week with not a whole lot on offer. We’re looking at a long gap from the start right through to the 6th of September with no real surf. After that, it’s a real mixed bag, and we only get a couple of moments where it might be worth paddling out.
The first chance of anything rideable shows up on Monday the 7th. The swell bumps up to about 6ft from the SSE, but the energy is all over the place – we’re talking moderate to strong energy (616) with a short, weak period of 8 seconds. That’s a messy, windswelly type of wave. The morning has cross-off winds, which is okay, but the afternoon looks better with offshore winds from the S at 12 mph keeping it smooth. It'll be too big for the beginners though, more of an intermediate zone.
Tuesday the 8th drops right back down. We’ve got about 5ft from the ESE, but the period is a pathetic 6 seconds and winds are side-shore. It's just not going to have any push. Wednesday the 9th sees a bit more size at 6ft from the east, but onshore winds ruin it. It is what it is.
Honestly, the only real standout is Friday the 18th. This one's a bit of a long-range whisper, so treat it with some caution, but it looks promising. We’ve got a proper groundswell filling in: 2ft from the SE, but with a very long period of 16 seconds. That’s got some real grunt, with strong wave energy (446). The wind is offshore from the SSW at 12 mph, which will have it clean and lined up. For a beach break, that long period can make it a bit straight, but with light offshore wind and that kind of energy, it could be a proper session for the crew on the sandbanks. This one’s the pick of the bunch, but it’s two weeks away, so don't book the time off just yet.
Water temp is sitting at about 72°, which is about normal for this time of year at Barrinha. Nothing wild there.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. Then we have a few days of weak, messy windswell that won't get the heart racing. The real focus is that long-period groundswell on the 18th. If the forecast holds, that's the day to make a plan. If it doesn’t come together, it’ll be a quiet 16 days.

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.
