Hey folks, Rusty here with the lowdown. Over the next 16 days at Tabinha, there’s basically no proper surf to chase. The first day with even a sniff of something is Saturday July 5th, but it’s still only marginal. That’s a two-day dry spell from the jump.

Tabinha is an exposed break that works consistently for intermediates, and it wants swell from the NE, but all we’re seeing is east to east-northeast windswell with real short periods. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.

The best chance you’ve got is Sunday July 6th in the morning. Swell is about 6ft from the east at 7 seconds, cross-offshore wind from the SE at 12 mph, clean conditions, and the combined energy sits at 421 (moderate). It’s the biggest bump of the whole forecast, but it’s short-period stuff coming from the wrong angle, so don’t expect much. Crowds are possible there.

Before that, Saturday July 5th morning has 5ft east swell at 6 seconds, also clean with cross-off SE wind at 12 mph, energy of 368 (moderate), but again—not a standout.

From Monday July 7th on, it’s pretty dead. Swell drops to 3-5ft, periods stay short, winds are mostly cross or onshore, and the scores are all zeros or ones. The combined energy sinks from 227 down to 82 by July 16th—weak stuff. The same flat pattern runs all the way to the final morning on Saturday July 19th with 5ft east swell and cross-off wind, but still poor quality.

If you’re a kite surfer, the steady east wind and small swell might be fun, but for a surfer looking to paddle into something decent, this is a big gap. It’s one of those periods where the area just goes quiet. Things can always change, but right now, don’t plan a trip around it.

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.
