The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for the next couple of weeks.
First thing to note: the water’s at 74°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first few days are a struggle. Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th, you’ve got tiny 1ft swell from the SSE, with a messy cross-onshore breeze. The combined energy is weak (85). Honestly, not worth getting wet.
Things start to look up on the morning of Tuesday the 11th. We’re looking at a 3ft SSE swell with a nice 14-second period, and the wind goes offshore from the S at 12 mph. The water’s clean, and the combined energy jumps to moderate (376). It’s not a beast, but it’s the first real sign of life.
The real standout is the morning of Wednesday the 12th at Barrinha. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the SSE, the period drops to 13 seconds, but the wind goes glassy – ESE at 3 mph. Combined energy is strong (390), and that clean, glassy surface will make for some fun, forgiving waves. This is your best bet for the first week.
The second week has a bigger pulse of swell coming from the E on the 18th and 19th, pushing 6ft, but the period is short at 8 seconds. That’s windswell, not groundswell. The wind on Wednesday the 19th morning is light and cross-offshore from the SW at 6 mph, which keeps it clean. The combined energy is strong (673), but that short period means it’ll be a bit lumpy and won’t have the same shape as the earlier glassy day. This one is for the more experienced crew, as 6ft with short period can be a handful.
The very end of the outlook, on the 22nd and 23rd, shows a drop back to 3ft to 4ft from the E, with light winds and glassy conditions on the morning of the 22nd. It’s not the biggest, but it’ll be clean and fun for a long session.
So, if you’re picking your moment, the absolute standout is the morning of Wednesday the 12th at Barrinha. Glassy, clean, chest-high waves from the SSE. That’s your window. The 19th is a solid option for the more experienced, but it’s not as clean.

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.
