The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the imperial take.
We’re looking at a real dry spell for Tabinha. There’s hardly any surf worth mentioning for the next week and a half. The swell is small, weak, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-off, so it’s a grim outlook. The water temp is sitting at 81°, which is about normal for the time of year.
From Monday, 20 July through to Sunday, 2 August, it’s a long stretch of poor surf conditions. The swell is from the east, between 3 ft and 5 ft, but it’s short-period stuff, mostly 6 to 7 seconds, so no power behind it. The combined energy is low, barely scraping 206 (moderate) on the morning of Monday, 3 August. Winds are from the southeast and east, mostly 12 to 15 mph, keeping things cross or cross-off, but the waves are weak and messy.
The only real chance in this whole 16-day window is the morning of Monday, 3 August. The swell is 5 ft from the east, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 206 (moderate). The wind is cross-off from the southeast at 12 mph, so it should be clean. It’s only a marginal surf forecast, but if you’re itching to get wet, that’s your best shot. The swell direction is east, not the optimum northeast for Tabinha, so it’s nothing special.
For most of the next two weeks, you’re better off doing something else. The swell is too small and the wind is too messy for any decent paddle surfing. If you’re into kite surfing, the cross-on and cross-off winds might offer a bit of fun, but for a surfer, it’s a tough run.
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.
