Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tabinha over the next 16 days.
Hey folks, Rusty here, and I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – the next couple weeks are gonna be a tough one for finding any decent waves.
This whole 16-day forecast from Tuesday, July 7th, is looking like a real flat spell. There's no single day where everything comes together. We're stuck with small, weak, short-period windswell from the east, and the wind is almost always messing things up.
The only spot in the mix is Tabinha. It's an exposed, consistent break for intermediate surfers, and it really needs swell from the northeast to work best. The problem is, the swell we're getting is out of the east, so it's not a good match.
The water is a warm 82°, which is right around the norm for this time of year.
Tuesday, July 7th, is the most rideable day, but even that's not great. The morning offers the best of a bad lot with a 5ft east swell at a short 7-second period, combined energy of 389 – the highest we'll see – and clean, cross-offshore wind from the SE. It's still marginal, so keep your expectations low. By Tuesday afternoon, the wind turns cross-on and the surf gets choppy.
From Wednesday, July 8th, all the way through to Tuesday, July 22nd, it's a long, dull stretch. Wave heights hover between 3ft and 5ft, with periods stuck between 5 and 7 seconds. Moderate cross-shore or cross-on winds, usually out of the east at 12 to 16 mph, will keep the surface bumpy. There's not a single period of light wind in the whole 16 days, so forget about clean, glassy conditions. There are no other breaks to consider.
Honestly, with that constant cross-shore wind and weak, small swell, this setup looks way more fun for kite surfing than for a paddle. It's a dry spell, but for this area, it's pretty normal when the wind and swell don't play nice.
Keep an eye out, things can always change.
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.
