The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next two weeks around Tabinha are pretty grim. There isn’t a single surfable day in the whole sixteen-day window. You can put the board wax away for a while. The combined swell energy is weak, rarely getting above the low-to-moderate range. The biggest numbers we see are around 274 (Tuesday 31st of August morning) and 262 (Sunday 30th of August afternoon), but even those come with poor surf conditions.

The swell is all short-period windswell, with periods sitting at 6 to 8 seconds – that’s just bumpy, weak, onshore junk. East and east-northeast winds are going to be a constant pain, mostly moderate to fresh cross-shore or cross-onshore, keeping the surface lumpy and chopped up. The water temp is about 27° – right on average for this time of year, so at least it’s warm to sit and wait. But honestly, there’s nothing to chase.

It’s one of those stretches where Mother Nature just isn’t cooperating. The break is consistent, but with this constant easterly wind and weak, short-period swell, the quality is just not there. You’re looking at at least 16 days with no recommendation. It’s a rough patch, but it won’t stay like this forever. Keep an eye out; things can flip fast.

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.
