Table - best surf conditions forecast for Barrinha over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here with the lowdown.
It’s a tough stretch for Barrinha over the next 16 days. The good windows are going to be few and far between, and you’ll need to be patient to find a clean one.
The first bit of the run, from Friday the 10th through the weekend, is pretty much a waste. The swell is there, around 3 feet, but the wind is a mess. Friday afternoon has a fresh 15 mph onshore breeze that’s gonna chop everything to pieces. Saturday morning is a tease with a 4 foot swell from the ESE and glassy conditions, but the energy is all over the place. Don’t get your hopes up.
Then we hit a real dead zone. From Sunday the 12th all the way through to Tuesday the 15th, the swell is small and the wind is either onshore or just not working. It’s a long, quiet haul where you’d be better off doing something else. The water temp is about 74°, which is normal for this time of year, so no surprises.
But, listen, Wednesday the 15th is where it gets interesting. The morning glass-off is your window. We’ve got a 5 foot swell from the SE with a decent 12-second period, which should give those lines some shape. The combined energy is a solid 624, so there’s some decent push. The wind is glassy, so it’s gonna be clean as a whistle. This is the standout for the whole run. The afternoon gets a bit of a cross-shore bump, but the morning is the one to chase.
The rest of the week after that is a slow fade. Thursday the 16th holds a bit of size – 5 feet – but the wind is already turning onshore and choppy. By the weekend of the 18th and 19th, we’re back to small, weak, messy slop. The last few days of the run, from the 22nd of July onward, are mostly small, onshore junk. There’s a flicker of hope on Saturday the 25th with a 5 foot ESE swell, but the wind is light and onshore, so it’s just ordinary.
So, to sum it up: the only true standout is Wednesday morning, July 15th at Barrinha. The SE swell is 5 feet, the period is 12 seconds, and with that glassy offshore wind, it’s the cleanest it’s gonna get. You’ll have the place to yourself if the crowds are playing it cool. Don’t sleep on it.
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.
