Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get into it.
Honestly, partner, this is a tough stretch ahead. We’re looking at a 16-day window and there’s barely a pulse in the water. The whole run from now through to the 17th is mostly just poor surf conditions, with cross and cross-off winds and that short, weak east energy. We do get a little spike in wave energy on Monday the 6th with the combined energy hitting 220 (moderate energy), but it’s still only 4ft of short-period E swell. That’s the best we see but it’s nothing special. The long-range into the second week stays flat and inconsistent, with combined energy numbers dropping right down to 71 by Friday the 17th. A real bleak run.
The one spot on the map is Tabinha. This is an exposed, intermediate-level break that’s fairly consistent, but the swell direction is NE and the wind is coming from the ESE to SE most days, making the cross-off options your best chance for a clean face. The water temp is sitting at 82°, about 2° warmer than normal, so that’s a bit notable – it’s a touch warmer than usual for July.
If you’re looking for the only real standout, you’ve got to aim for Monday morning, July 6th. We see 4ft of E swell, a short 6-second period, and the wind is a gentle SE cross-off at 9 mph. The “expect good surf conditions” flag is there, and the combined energy is at 220 (moderate energy). That’s your best shot, but with such a short period, it’ll be a bit weak and bumpy. Crowds are possible here, as it’s sometimes busy.
After that, it’s a long dusty spell. The afternoon of the 6th drops off, and from Tuesday the 7th all the way through to the 19th it’s consistently poor surf conditions with cross-shore chop and moderate breezes. There’s really nothing to get excited about. The wave energy fades into weak territory (two-digit numbers) by the 18th. No standouts in the second week at all.
So, if you’re a beginner, that 4ft is fine – it’s not too big. For anyone else, it’s a low-energy grind. It’s one of those periods where the ocean just isn’t cooperating. But hey, forecasts can shift, and it tends not to stay flat forever around 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.
