The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good hard look at the only spot on the menu, Tabinha. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim outlook.
Right out of the gate, Sunday the 2nd of August is a no-go. The swell is weak, barely 4ft from the ENE with a short, choppy period of 8 seconds, and the wind is a messy cross-off at 16 mph. The water’s about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
And honestly, it doesn’t get any better. The entire 16-day window is a total write-off. You’re looking at a solid two weeks plus with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. The combined wave energy tops out at a paltry 181 on the first day and spends most of the time floundering well below 100. The wind is almost always a moderate cross, cross-on, or lumpy cross-shore breeze, ruining any chance of clean faces. The swell direction is mostly from the E or ENE, which isn’t even ideal for this break that prefers a proper NE direction. The period stays stuck at 6 or 7 seconds – super short, weak windswell that won’t produce any power or shape.
There is no standout. There is nothing to highlight. Every single morning and afternoon from August 2nd to August 17th is marked by poor surf conditions. The swell hovers around 3ft to 5ft, but it’s all junk. It’s not big enough to be dangerous for beginners (stays under 5ft), but it’s so weak and onshore-affected that even an intermediate would be fighting a losing battle. Honestly, with the consistent cross-shore winds and lumpy conditions, this setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
This is just one of those blank runs for the area. It happens. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards in the shed.
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.
