The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this is a tough one for the breaks we've got on the books. We're looking at Tabinha, and honestly, the 16-day window is a real struggle. There's nothing in the finder that flags a single decent session. The entire forecast is a write-off for quality surf.
We kick off on Monday, 31st of August, and it's pretty much the same story right through to Tuesday, 15th of September. The swell is there, but it's all wrong. For the first two weeks, we're looking at a consistent east-northeast wind that's blowing cross-shore or cross-onshore, sitting around 12 to 19 mph. That's just trashing the surface. The swell height hovers around 3 ft to 5 ft, but with a period of only 5 to 7 seconds, it's weak, short-period windswell. The combined energy is moderate at best, maxing out at 242 (moderate wave energy) on the 9th of September, but that doesn't matter when the wind is tearing it apart.
The only flicker of hope comes on Thursday morning, 10th of September. The wind swings to a cross-offshore direction from the southeast, and the wave comment says "marginal surf forecast." The swell is 5 ft from the east, with a 7-second period, and the combined energy is 209 (moderate wave energy). The notes say "clean," which is a massive improvement. This is the one moment in the whole 16 days where the conditions might be borderline okay, but it's far from a standout. Don't get your hopes up.
For the rest of the time, the setup is a beach-and-reef type with poor conditions and strong cross-shore winds. Honestly, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There's energy there, but it's a mess for a surfboard.
So, save your energy. The next two weeks look bleak. It's a long blank run, but that's normal for an area that's exposed to this kind of wind pattern. Forecasts can change, but right now, I wouldn't even bother waxing the board.
Rusty.

Information about the Tabinha Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Tabinha provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tabinha can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tabinha 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 (Tabinha) 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 Tabinha 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.
