The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again. Let me break down what we’ve got coming for the coast.
Honestly, it’s a slow one. We’re looking at a big fat gap with no worthwhile surf at the start – nothing really happening for Tabinha for many days. From now through the first week of August, conditions are poor. Winds are mostly cross or cross-off from the SE and E, blowing 12 to 19 mph, leaving the surface choppy and bumpy. Swell is tiny – under 5 ft – coming from the east with a short period of 5 to 7 seconds. That makes for weak, wind-affected slop, with combined energy readings mostly below 200, ranging from 47 up to about 153. Nothing that’ll get you excited.
Water temp is holding around 81°F, so pretty average for this time of year. Nothing unusual there.
The first real chance you’ll get comes on Wednesday morning, 5th August. Tabinha shows combined energy hitting 200, with clean cross-off winds from the SE at 16 mph. Swell is about 5 ft from the east with a 7-second period. It’s marginal, but it’s the best this forecast offers up until then. The afternoon deteriorates, as winds go cross-shore and things get lumpy again.
The one that stands out above the rest is the morning of Sunday, 9th August. Swell bumps up to about 5 ft from the east, period still at 7 seconds, but energy jumps to 271. Cross-off winds from the SE at 19 mph should keep the surface clean. That’s the best shot across the whole 16-day window. It’s still a short-period east swell, not a groundswell, but it has the most power and the cleanest wind.
Tabinha can see crowds sometimes, but given how rough most of this period looks, you probably won’t have to fight for waves. Size stays manageable for most – under 5 ft – but with the messy conditions on so many days, the only real chance of a decent session is those clean mornings. Experts will find it underwhelming.
So yeah, a long quiet spell, then a couple of clean windows. Hope the forecasts improve – you never know. Until next time.
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.
