The Lowdown
Right, I’m Rusty, and here’s your surf outlook for the region around Barrinha, in Vitoria. First off, the water’s sitting at about 73°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, not feeling any weird warm or cool spike.
Honestly, the next week or so looks flat and frustrating. We start on Monday the 7th with some weak, short-period SSE swell, but it’s getting ruined by a cross-offshore wind. Not worth paddling for. Through to the end of the following week, conditions are mostly blown out by strong cross-on or onshore winds from the NE and a mix of weak, choppy waves. There’s a real dry spell here – several days in a row where I wouldn’t even bother.
Now, the first real glimmer of hope comes on Monday the 14th of September. The morning brings in a SE swell of 5 ft with moderate wave energy (640) under clean cross-offshore winds, and the conditions are clean. But the afternoon is the true standout of this whole window. You’ll get a nice SSE groundswell, 3 ft but with a very long period of 15 seconds, and the wave energy is a solid 807. The wind is light and cross-off, making for some very clean, well-shaped waves. This is a quality call for the point, but it being a reef setup, that long period will wrap in nicely.
The following Friday the 18th also sees a return of clean surf with offshore S winds and a 4 ft ESE swell in the afternoon (336 wave energy), which is solid fun, but not hitting the heights of the 14th.
The best surf on offer is Monday the 14th of September, with that very clean, longer-period groundswell. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so keep your eyes open for that. Take the 14th off if you can.
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.
