The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for Barrinha over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the first week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a long, frustrating gap here with no real quality on offer. The swell is small and messy, and the wind is mostly a problem. It’s the kind of period where you’d be better off doing something else.
Things finally start to look up on Saturday the 12th of September. That morning, we get a glimpse of something worthwhile. The wind swings offshore from the SSW, cleaning up a 5ft swell from the east. The combined energy is moderate (278) and the offshore breeze will make for some clean, workable walls. It’s not a monster, but after the wait, it’s a solid option for an intermediate surfer.
The real standout, the one to circle on the calendar, is Thursday the 17th of September. Thursday morning, the wind drops to nothing – glassy conditions – with a 2ft swell from the ESE. The energy is moderate (270) and the period is a solid 10 seconds, enough to put some shape in the waves. That glassy surface will be a dream. Then, Thursday afternoon, the wind goes light cross-off from the ESE, the swell shifts to the SSE with a very long period of 15 seconds, and the energy is moderate (284). This is your best bet for clean, lined-up waves. Keep in mind, with that long period, it might stand up a bit straight at the beach, but if the sandbars are in, it’ll be a joy.
So, a long wait, but a couple of sweet mornings on the horizon. The best of the bunch is definitely that Thursday the 17th.
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.
