Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tabinha over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it for our local region. We're lookin' at a real flat spell ahead. Nothin' on the horizon for a good while, I'm afraid. The first few days are just gonna be small, weak, and messy. The swell energy we've got is barely a whisper, mostly in the 73 to 166 range (moderate wave energy) but it’s all short-period windswell, which doesn’t scrub up into anything rideable. It's pretty much gonna be a write-off until we see some proper groundswell.
Starting from Saturday, July 11th right through the weekend and into the start of the following week, the swell is puny. We're talkin' 3ft to 4ft of short-period, weak energy coming from the E and ENE. With the wind blowing cross or cross-off from the SE and ESE, around 12-16 mph, it's just gonna be a chop-fest. There's no juice, no power, and the shape will be all over the shop. Honestly, for a good stretch there, the setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, especially at a beach break like Tabinha. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothin' special there.
Here’s the heartbreaker: for over a week, from Saturday the 11th right through to Friday the 24th of July, there's not a single session that gets the nod. That's a solid two-week gap of nothing. Every single forecast says "poor surf conditions." It's a dead run. For this area, when it goes quiet, it can stay that way for a while, and forecasts can change, but the consistency is just not there right now.
Now, lookin' further out, Saturday the 25th of July morning shows a tiny bit of hope, with clean conditions and a cross-off wind, but the swell's still only 4ft and weak. The energy starts to creep up a bit, but it's still short-period junk.
The only flicker of a possible standout comes late in the period, on Sunday the 26th of July afternoon. The combined energy jumps a little to 193, which points to moderate wave energy, and the swell period edges up to 7 seconds, but that's still short. The swell is 5ft from the ENE. It's still not a groundswell, but it's the best of a bad bunch, and it's still a long way off so treat it as promising but not a lock. Even then, the wind is cross from the ESE at 12 mph, so it won't be glassy. For now, we wait.
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.
