The Lowdown
Alright, folks, let’s talk about what’s cookin’ for the next couple weeks. The start is a bit of a dud, with small, weak waves and winds that are all over the place. The best bets are further out, especially Monday afternoon and then a real promising session on Friday 18 September.
Thursday morning kicks off with 3ft east swell at 8 seconds, but it’s cross-offshore and weak – combined energy of 195, so not much push. Water temp is 73°, right around average for this time of year. Friday and Saturday are tiny, with Saturday morning seeing 2ft SE swell and offshore wind, but it’s gutless. Sunday morning is flat, with a 0.5ft bump.
Monday is where it gets interesting. Monday morning has 5ft SSE swell, short period at 7 seconds, but offshore wind. Monday afternoon is the first real standout: 5ft from the south, still short period, but offshore wind and clean, with combined energy of 410 – that’s moderate energy and the best we’ve seen so far. This is the session to aim for.
Tuesday and Wednesday turn ugly with onshore winds and lumpy conditions. Wednesday morning actually sees a 7ft east swell, but cross-onshore winds make it choppy – more of a kiteboarding day, with strong energy at 873. Thursday 11 September is a washout.
Saturday 13 September morning has a glassy moment with 3ft ESE swell, but it’s weak at 103 combined energy. The next standout is Monday 15 September morning: 3ft from the east, moderate offshore wind, clean. Not a big day, but clean.
Then the big one: Friday 18 September. Friday morning has 2ft SSE swell, but the period is a massive 18 seconds – that’s very long-period groundswell. Combined energy is 288 (moderate), and the wind is light cross-offshore. Clean, lined-up waves, but that long period means it’ll be better at a point or reef than a beach break. Friday afternoon is even better: 3ft from the same SSE direction, 16-second period, light cross-offshore wind, and combined energy of 510. That’s the best of the whole forecast – clean, long lines, and decent power. It’s over a week away, so keep an eye on it, but it’s looking promising.
Crowds at Barrinha can be a thing sometimes, so expect a few folks out on the good days. The break is fairly consistent, so it’s not a total bust, but there are flat spells.
Get out Monday afternoon, and mark that Friday 18 September on your calendar. That’s the one.

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.
