Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tabinha over the next 16 days.
Alright, I'm gonna level with you. This forecast period is pretty grim for Tabinha. We’ve got a long stretch of poor quality ahead – nothing really surfable from now until around the 16th of July.
The outlook is bleak because the winds are stuck in a miserable pattern. It’s cross-shore or cross-onshore almost constantly, mostly from the E or ESE at 12 to 18 mph, plus that short period swell (6 to 7 seconds) just doesn’t have any grunt. The wave energy is mostly weak to moderate – just enough to get you disappointed. The water is about 82°F, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no help there.
The first faint flicker of hope comes Thursday morning, July 16th. We finally get a cleaner morning with cross-offshore flow (SE 15 mph) and the swell bumps up to 5 ft from the E on a 6-second period. The combined energy jumps up (moderate) and the conditions are described as "clean", but the forecast is only "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions". It's a very brief window – the afternoon goes back to cross-shore and poor.
After that we drop back into a run of totally poor days until the next potential highlight: Wednesday morning, July 22nd. This is the standout of the whole 16-day deal. We get a clean, cross-offshore morning (SE 15 mph) and the swell is the biggest we’ll see at 5 ft from the E on a 7-second period. The wave energy is strong. This is the only event where the numbers start to look interesting, but the poor-surf flag is still up, so don't expect perfection. With that size, it's not beginner territory – more for the intermediates who know this break.
The days before and after that are all a write-off. Short period swell, lumpy cross-chop, and bad wave comments. There's simply not enough good wind or long-period groundswell to make any other session worth paddling out for.
So if you’ve got a wetsuit, circle the 22nd of July on your calendar – it’s the only game in town. Everything else, save your energy.

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.
