Table - best surf conditions forecast for Barrinha over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up for our stretch of coast.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but a solid pulse of surf is building for the middle of next week. The first real action kicks off this Saturday, July 11th. Barrinha is the only break in the game, and honestly, it’s going to deliver some proper waves. Saturday morning is the pick of the early period – clean, glassy conditions with a 4ft SE groundswell rolling in at 13 seconds. The water temperature is sitting at 74°, which is pretty much spot on average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The combined swell energy is a healthy 409, and with zero wind, it’s going to be smooth and inviting. This is intermediate territory – not too big, not too small, just right.
Saturday afternoon stays clean with a light cross-off breeze, but the real standout is further out. Wednesday, July 15th, is the one to circle on the calendar. Both morning and afternoon see a 6ft SE swell with a 12-second period. The energy jumps up to 833 and 841 – that’s a serious step up in power. Light offshore winds in the morning and cross-off in the afternoon mean the wave face will be holding up nicely. It’s going to be very good. Thursday, July 16th, keeps the momentum going with a 6ft SE swell and glassy conditions in the morning – combined energy at 971 – but watch out, the afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-onshore breeze. Still, the morning session Thursday looks excellent.
After that, things taper off. The swell backs down, the winds turn onshore or straight on, and the quality drops. From around Friday the 17th afternoon, we enter a long lull. There are days with small, weak, and choppy conditions. The period from Saturday the 18th to Sunday the 26th is largely a write-off – most days have poor surf, with onshore winds and tiny swell energy readings dropping below 100. The only flicker of life comes on Sunday the 26th afternoon, where a 2ft swell and a moderate offshore wind offer “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s a long gap with nothing to get excited about.
So, for the standout pick: Wednesday, July 15th, at Barrinha. It’s the heart of the run – clean, powerful, and consistent. That’s your session.

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.
