The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, same story, different numbers. For the 16-day window at Tabinha, it’s a tough one. The swell is small, weak, and short-period, and the wind is almost always a cross-shore mess. The water temp is about 81°F, which is normal for the time of year.
From the start, Saturday the 29th of August, we’ve got 4ft to 5ft of east swell, but the period is only 6 seconds – pure windswell. The wind is a moderate cross-shore at 15 mph, making for a lumpy cross-chop. The best looking moment in the first week is the morning of Sunday the 30th, with a cleaner cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is still only 5ft at 7 seconds. It’s the best of a bad bunch.
The pattern holds: small swell (4ft to 5ft), short period (6–7 seconds), and persistent cross-shore winds. By the 6th and 7th of September, the swell drops to 3ft and the energy is weak, so we’re looking at a flat spell.
There’s a bump on the 8th and 9th of September, with swell up to 5ft and the period hitting 7 seconds, and the morning of the 9th has a clean cross-offshore wind. The energy is the highest in the window, but it’s still a weak, short-period windswell. After that, it’s back to small and weak through to the 13th.
No true standout here. The cleanest mornings are the 30th of August, the 9th of September, and the 10th of September, but the swell is small and weak. It’s a better setup for kite surfing than paddle surfing. This is a blank run – the conditions just aren’t cooperating.

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.
