Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it.
Look, I’ll be honest with you – this outlook for Tabinha is a tough one. Over the next 16 days, we’re looking at a real quiet stretch. The swell is small and weak, the wind is almost always cross or cross-off, and the energy just isn’t there. The first week is particularly grim, with hardly anything worth paddling out for. There’s a gap of several days right at the start where the surf is a total no-go. The combined swell energy is weak, barely scraping into triple digits a few times, but mostly sitting under 100. It’s one of those periods where you’re better off fixing your dings or just enjoying the beach.
Now, the first real flicker of hope shows up on Tuesday, July 7th in the morning. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the east, with a bit more push behind it – the combined energy hits 334, which is moderate. The wind is cross-off from the SE at 12 mph, so it’s clean. But the period is short at 7 seconds, so don’t expect any real power or shape. It’s a marginal day, best for intermediates who just want to get wet. The water is sitting at 83°F, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit.
Wednesday the 8th morning is similar – 5ft east swell, 7-second period, energy up to 361, but the wind is cross-shore, which will mess with the face. The cleanest windows across the whole period are the mornings, especially with that SE cross-off wind, but the swell just doesn’t have the guts.
The standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Tuesday, July 7th. That’s your best bet. Tabinha is an exposed spot, and it needs a decent east swell to work. The wind is half-decent and the water’s warm. But honestly, this is a “low expectations” kind of day. The break is consistent, so it won’t be flat, but the quality is poor. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so you might have some company, but on a day like this, probably not many takers.
After that, it fades again. The second week drops off hard – swell heights shrink below 3ft, energy crashes down to 43-67, and the period drops to 5-6 seconds. That’s barely a ripple. Winds stay cross or cross-off, but there’s nothing to ride. This area is having a real quiet spell.
Keep the faith, though. It won’t stay this way forever.

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.
