The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one for the home break.
We're looking at a long, dry spell. The whole 16-day window, from Friday the 24th of July right through to Saturday the 8th of August, is a washout. Every single window is flagged as poor surf conditions. You’re looking at a solid 16-day stretch with no real recommendations. For a spot that’s listed as consistent, that’s a bit of a surprise, but it happens. The forecast models are all pointing to the same thing: don't get your hopes up.
The main issue is the swell combo. We’ve got a tiny bit of energy, mostly from the east and east-northeast, but it's weak and short-period. The “combined energy of all swells directed here” is mostly in the double digits (57, 62, 55) or low triple digits (102, 110), which is just weak to moderate energy at best. It’s not enough to push through the onshore wind. The wind is a constant problem, blowing from the east and southeast at 12-15 mph, creating a persistent cross-shore chop or cross-onshore bump. It’s just not clean.
On the plus side, the water temperature anomaly is average for the time of year, so no shock when you get in. But you’ll be getting in for a frustrating paddle.
There’s a slight lift in the combined energy on the morning of Thursday the 6th of August, hitting 204, but it’s still paired with a 4ft east swell and a 6-second period. The wind is cross-offshore in the morning, which will clean it up a bit, but the swell is too short and weak to hold any shape. It’ll be a mess of close-outs.
Honestly, the only thing that looks even remotely interesting is the morning of Thursday the 30th of July, when the wind drops to a gentle 9 mph breeze from the east. The swell is tiny, just 2ft, but it’s from the north-northeast with a slightly longer 10-second period. It’s a long shot, but if you’re desperate, you might find a little knee-high bump with a bit of glide. Otherwise, save your energy.
This is a rare blank run for a usually consistent break. The forecasts can change, but right now, I’d say leave the board in the car and watch the clouds.
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.
