The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here with the real talk. This 16-day window for Tabinha is a total write-off. There’s zero good surf to be found – not a single session gets the green light. The forecast is painfully consistent: poor conditions, day after day.
We kick off on the 29th of July, and the pattern doesn’t budge. The swell is weak, never pushing past 5ft, and it’s all coming from the East. The period is short, 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s just messy wind-swell. The combined energy of all swells hits a high of 222 (moderate) on the afternoon of the 6th of August, but the wind is cross-shore, chopping it all up. The morning of the 2nd of August looks cleaner with a cross-off breeze, but the swell is only 4ft from the ENE with a weak 8 second period. It’s just not worth the effort.
Water temp is 81°F, pretty average for the time of year, so you’re not freezing. But the wind is a constant buzzkill – a moderate breeze out of the SE or E, keeping the surface bumpy and ugly. By the morning of the 9th of August, the swell drops to 3ft and the energy falls to 86 (weak), so you’re looking at almost flat conditions.
This is just one of those dead periods for the area. It happens. Don’t stress – forecasts can shift, and when it’s this consistently flat, it usually doesn’t last. But for now, leave the board in the car and go do something else. There’s nothing here.
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.
