Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for our local sand and sea.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a grim stretch coming up. We are looking at a solid block of time from now all the way until Saturday, July 19th, with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is present, sure, but the quality is shot. We're stuck with a weak, wind-affected, short-period easterly windswell that just won't clean up. The combined energy for most of this period sits in the weak to moderate range (between 99 and 180), so there's not enough punch to overcome the constant cross and cross-onshore winds. It's a write-off for a surfer.
From Sunday, July 19th, things perk up. The morning session at Tabinha finally offers a real chance. We've got a 5ft swell coming from the ESE, which is the closest we get to the optimum NE direction for this spot. The real story, though, is the wind. That early Sunday window is seeing a clean, cross-offshore breeze. Combined energy jumps right up to a solid 314, giving the waves some proper grunt. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it's still a windswell, but that clean surface and the uptick in energy makes this easily the best option on the entire forecast. The water is sitting at 82°F, nothing unusual for this time of year. Don't expect much of a crowd since it's been so poor, but you'll likely have a few other keen locals out. This is the one window to aim for; after that morning, it drops back to the usual choppy, onshore slop.
So there you have it. It's a long wait for a short window. Keep an eye on that Sunday, July 19th, dawn patrol. That's the call.
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.
