The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. Gonna be a lean stretch ahead for our wave-riding options, with only one spot really on the radar and even that's a tough sell for most of the time.
Right now, the outlook for Tabinha is pretty grim. We're looking at a solid run of poor surf conditions through the end of July and into the first few days of August. The east-southeast winds are going to be a constant problem, mostly cross or cross-onshore, chopping up whatever small swell the sea is trying to push our way. The swell is weak, with combined energy readings mostly under 100 (93) and barely cracking 100 (122) on the better days, and the period is a short, weak 6 seconds. Water temp is sitting at a warm 81°, which is about average for the time of year.
There is a glimmer, but it's a long way off. The standout on offer is the early morning of Sunday, August 2nd. The forecast shows a clean window with cross-offshore winds from the southeast, and the swell bumps up to 5ft from the east with a slightly longer period of 7 seconds. The combined energy gets a bit more interesting at 212, which is a moderate energy. It's still not epic, but it's the best of the bunch. After that, we see another marginal tick on Wednesday morning, August 5th, with a 5ft east swell, 7-second period, and a bit more energy at 233, but again, it's only rated as marginal. The problem is the wind is forecast to be 16 mph, which is a solid breeze, and the swell direction is east, which is cross-off, so it might offer some clean but lumpy lines.
The biggest issue is consistency. The spot is listed as consistent, but the quality is just not there. The small, weak east swell and constant wind mean the waves won't have any real push or shape for most of the 16 days. For the beginner crew, the swell on the 5th of August is over 5ft, and with the wind, it's going to be a challenging, messy paddle. This is a real test of patience.
Rusty out.

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.
