Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Tabinha.

To be straight with you, this 16-day window is looking pretty bleak. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing special, and I mean nothing. The first recommendation doesn’t show up until Sunday the 19th of July, and even that’s a marginal call. Everything before that is a write-off – the swell is weak, the period is short, and the wind is messing it up. You’ll be waiting over a week and a half from now for anything that’s even worth a mention.

Let’s get into the only blip of interest. The best bet, and really the only bet, is Tabinha. This is an intermediate-level break, and it’s consistent when the conditions line up. On Sunday morning, July 19th, we see a bump in energy to 217 (moderate wave energy). Swell is coming from the east at 5 ft, with a period of 7 seconds – that’s short period wind swell, not a groundswell, so the shape won’t be anything special. The wind is from the southeast at 16 mph, but it’s cross-offshore, which cleans it up nicely. Water temperature here is 82°, about average for this time of year with a 1° anomaly, so nothing out of the ordinary – just your typical warm tropical bath.

Now, a word of caution: 5 ft is pushing into the shoulder-high range, so it’s not ideal for absolute beginners. For the experienced crew, it’s doable. The break is exposed, and the optimum swell direction is from the northeast, while we’ve got east swell, so not a perfect match. Crowds can pop up here sometimes, and since there’s nothing else going on, you might have company.

To be honest, with such a long gap of flat or poor conditions and only this one slim chance, it’s a tough stretch. Tabinha is generally consistent, so it tends not to stay poor for long, and forecasts can change, but right now, this is about as quiet as it gets. Mark that Sunday morning in your calendar, but don’t get your hopes up too high.

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.
