The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next stretch.
Well, I gotta be straight with you—this is a tough one to write. The outlook for Tabinha is a long, flat, and frustrating run. Looking at the whole 16-day window, from the 27th of July right through to the 11th of August, every single session is flagged as poor surf conditions. There’s simply no good surf on offer here. The wave energy is weak, barely scraping into the triple digits on a few occasions, and the low period of 6 seconds means the waves will be weak and gutless. With a moderate breeze blowing onshore or cross-shore the entire time, it’s going to be a messy, choppy affair. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least a dip won't be a shock.
The first recommendation doesn't appear until the 27th of July, and it's a dud. The swell is a weak 4 ft from the east, but with a 6-second period and a 16 mph cross-shore wind, it's just not surfable. That pattern just repeats day after day. The combined energy never gets strong; the highest all period is on the 2nd of August with a 191 reading, but it's still plagued by a 16 mph cross-shore wind and a short period. The early mornings offer a cleaner look with a cross-off wind, but the swell is so weak and short-period it barely qualifies. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a real bummer. It’s the kind of blank run that’s more normal for the area in a slump, but it doesn't make it any easier to swallow.
Honestly, with the wind howling and the swell being so poor, this setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. If you’ve got a kite, you might get a session in, but for a surfer, there’s nothing to get excited about. Keep an eye on the charts, because it tends not to stay this poor for long.
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.
