The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Tabinha over the next couple of weeks.

Straight up, I gotta be honest with ya – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a solid 16-day run with no standout days, and the whole thing is pretty much a write-off for decent paddle surfing. The first real opportunity we see is from the 16th of July, but even then, it’s a struggle. The swell is small and weak, with the combined energy barely getting into the moderate range (167) on the 16th, and it’s mostly short-period windswell around 7 seconds or less. That’s not gonna give you any real power or shape.

The wind is the biggest problem here. It’s almost always coming from the ESE or SE, which is cross to cross-off for Tabinha, but it’s blowing at 12 to 15 mph pretty much non-stop. The "clean" labels on some mornings are a bit of a tease, because the swell is just too weak and short-period to make anything of it. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.

There’s a small window of cleaner conditions on the 18th, 19th, and 20th of July in the mornings, with the swell bumping up to around 4 ft from the E, and the period hitting 7 seconds. The combined energy sits around 130-168 (moderate), but the waves are still pretty poor quality. It’s a beach break setup, so with this short-period, east swell and constant cross-breeze, you’re looking at a lot of close-outs and chop. Honestly, this looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, as the wind is consistent and the surf quality is just not there for a clean ride.

The rest of the run into the end of July and early August is more of the same. Small, weak, and windy. The swell sticks around 3 ft to 4 ft, the period stays short, and the combined energy mostly stays under 100 or just barely into the three-digit range. There’s no real change in pattern. A few mornings on the 23rd and 29th show a little bump in energy (168 and 138), but the wind is still cross or cross-off, and the wave comment is still "poor surf conditions". It’s a flat, blown-out outlook for the whole 16 days.

If you absolutely have to get wet, the cleanest windows are the mornings of the 18th, 19th, and 20th of July, with the swell around 4 ft to 4 ft from the E. But keep your expectations low – it’s not going to be a classic session. For the rest of it, you’re better off finding something else to do.

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.
