Table - best surf conditions forecast for Barrinha over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but don’t write it off. The first real action kicks off on Wednesday, July 8th, and it’s looking like a solid little run. The water temp is sitting at 75°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The standout session of the whole forecast is gonna be Wednesday afternoon, July 8th, at Barrinha. We’ve got a clean 6 ft swell rolling in from the SSE with a nice 11-second pulse, and the wind is offshore. That’s a recipe for some lined-up, fun waves. The combined energy is strong (1089), so there’s plenty of push behind it. This is for the better intermediate surfer; it’s not a beginner day with that size.
Thursday, July 9th, keeps the momentum going. Morning brings 4 ft from the SE with a light cross-off breeze, and the afternoon stays clean as the wind goes offshore again. Both sessions are well worth a paddle, with moderate energy (313 and 306).
Friday the 10th is a write-off. The morning has onshore wind and a tricky tide, and the afternoon gets chopped up by a cross-onshore breeze. Skip it.
Saturday, July 11th, is back on. Morning glass-off with 4 ft from the ESE and a 13-second period – that longer period will give you some nice lines through the beach break if you pick your peak. Afternoon stays clean with a gentle offshore breeze. Good, clean options.
Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th are quiet. Sunday is blown out, and Monday morning is glassy but tiny at 2 ft. You could get a longboard out, but it’s ordinary.
We hit a slow patch from July 14th through to July 20th. The swell drops off, and most days have poor wind or just very small, weak surf. There’s a few fleeting moments – like the 1 ft bump on the 14th and a glassy 3 ft on the 18th – but nothing worth getting excited about. It’s a dry spell.
But hold on. The end of the run is promising. On Tuesday, July 21st, we get a proper return of swell. Morning is 5 ft from the SE with a light cross-off breeze and good energy (615). The afternoon, though, is the real story: 5 ft from the SE, light cross-off airs, and the energy jumps to 720. It’s looking like a very good session.
Wednesday morning, July 22nd, is also a gem – glassy conditions with 5 ft of swell from the ESE. That’s clean, lined-up, and glassy. A beautiful way to start the day. It’s a bit over a week away, so keep an eye on it, but the signs are all there.
If you’re itching for a wave, the real sweet spot is the 8th to the 11th, and then that final burst on the 21st and 22nd. Crowds at Barrinha can happen, so get in early for the glassy sessions.
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.
