The Lowdown
Alright, surf is gonna be quiet for a while, so let's get one thing straight: it’s not looking like much of a week for waves right now. The ocean’s got the idea but not the follow-through. We're looking at a stretch of mostly small, short-period, onshore slop from the east. That means lumpy, messy, and not worth the paddle. That’s the long and short of it.
We start Wednesday the 9th with a bump of 5ft from the east but it’s chopped up by a fresh NE wind. It’s cross-on and lumpy, with weak energy (247). Not your friend. Thursday the 10th doesn’t offer much either – morning is onshore with a 4ft easterly and a short 6-second period. Everything’s a bit half-hearted. The weekend stays pretty bleak as well. Saturday the 12th has a little window on the afternoon with a light offshore from the SSW, but the swell is tiny, only 0.7ft. You’d be surfing whitewater. The energy is all but gone (27).
The first glimmer of something interesting comes in on Monday the 14th. We’ve got a 5ft southeast swell with an 8-second period, and the energy is starting to build (334). It’s still cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy, but there’s a pulse there. The morning session looks like the better option. Tuesday the 15th, the morning is clean as the wind goes light onshore from the north, with 4ft of east swell (372). It’s borderline, you’re surfing a bit of a grovelly wave, but there will be a few.
Then we get a proper run of surf from Thursday the 17th into the start of the next week. The energy is building and the winds go light or offshore. Thursday the 17th sees small but clean 2ft to 2ft waves from the SSE with a light cross-offshore breeze. It’s not big, but it’s clean.
The real standout, if you can call it that, is Saturday the 19th. The swell pushes up to 6ft from the east with a 7-second period, and the energy jumps to strong (701). The wind is light from the north in the morning, but it’s onshore. It will be a big, lumpy beast, not the cleanest, but there’s power. That’s about as big as it gets for the next week. The second week looks like more of the same: some pulses of easterly swell, but the winds are iffy. There’s a hint of a glassy day on Wednesday the 23rd, with only 3ft of swell and calm conditions. But it’s small.
Honestly, the standout here is Monday the 21st. We see a 5ft east swell with an 8-second period, a building energy (418), and a clean offshore wind from the south in the afternoon. That’s your best bet for a proper surf. It’s not huge, but it’s clean, and it’s got some push. Get out then if you can.

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.
