The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and ordinary for the region. I’ve had a good look at the charts and there just isn’t any decent swell on the cards for a proper surf. We’re staring down the barrel of a long, quiet run where nothing really lines up for a quality wave.
Starting off, we’ve got a gap from now. The first real recommendation doesn’t pop up at all – looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s nothing that scores high enough to call a proper session. We’re talking a full blank run from September 15th right through to September 30th without a standout. That’s a solid couple of weeks with no good options.
At Tabinha, the swell is stuck around 3ft to 5ft, mostly from the east at a short, weak period of just 6 to 7 seconds. The combined swell energy sits between 98 and 206 – that’s moderate at best but mostly on the low side for wave power. The wind is a problem: constant cross-shore breezes from the east and ESE at 15 to 19 mph, making everything lumpy, chopped, or cross-on. A few mornings on the 18th and 22nd clean up slightly with a cross-off breeze, but even then the swell is poor quality. The water is sitting at 82°F, about a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, but that’s small comfort when the surf is junk.
Honestly, if you’re not surfing, the beach setup here might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the steady wind and weak, messy waves.
Signing off – 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.
