The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Tabinha over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for decent surf. We're looking at a long, blank run here, so if you're itching for a wave, this is one of those periods where you're better off finding something else to do.
The main issue is that we've got a consistent, messy cross-shore wind locking in from the east and east-southeast. It's blowing at 12 to 18 mph almost every day, churning up a lumpy, choppy surface. Even when the swell picks up a little, the conditions are just too poor to make it worth paddling out. The water temp is sitting at a pretty normal 81° for this time of year, not that you’ll be in the water much.
The swell is mostly small, hovering between 3 ft and 5 ft, coming from the east with a short period of 5 to 7 seconds. That's weak, wind-affected junk. The combined energy peaks at 258 in the first week, but it's all for nothing with the wind howling. There's no standout window at all.
The only couple of mornings that might tease you are on the 30th of August and the 6th of September, when the wind briefly swings cross-offshore. But even then, the swell is small and weak, and the forecast still calls it poor surf conditions. It’s just not worth getting your hopes up.
So, in short: don't bother. The forecasts can change, but for now, the gear stays in the shed.
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.
