The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight up about what's on offer for the coming weeks.
First off, the water is sitting at 81°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there comfort-wise.
Alright, let's get to the surf. I gotta be honest with you, it’s a pretty bleak run for the whole 16 days. There’s really no standout window where everything comes together. The only time the swell energy even gets close to being respectable is around Thursday, August 6th, where we see the combined energy hit 261, which is still only moderate energy. But even then, the swell is a weak 5ft from the east with a short, 6-second period. That’s just not going to make for any kind of real wave.
For Tabinha, we’ve got easterly swell in the 3ft to 5ft range for the entire outlook. The predominant wind is a cross or cross-off from the ESE to SE, which isn't total junk, but the swell period never gets past 7 seconds. It’s basically all windswell. You’ll see the combined energy values bounce between 78 and 194 most of the time, which is weak to low-moderate at best. We get a slight bump on the morning of Sunday, August 2nd and the morning of Thursday, August 6th, where the conditions look clean with those cross-off winds, but the waves are small and weak. Despite the clean surface, the wave comment is "poor surf conditions" for virtually the entire run, with only the 6th of August morning scraping a "marginal" call.
Honestly, there isn’t a single day I’d tell you to paddle out for. If you’re looking for something to do, with those consistent cross-onshore winds and a beach setup, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the two weeks. It’s a long wait for something that never shows up. If you’re a beginner, the size never gets over 5ft, so you wouldn't be out of your depth, but there's just no quality to chase.
This is one of those blank runs. When there’s no consistency and the quality is this poor, it’s just the way the cards fall sometimes. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing good on the table.
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.
