The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry run with hardly any decent surf on the cards. The first decent chance doesn't show up until Sunday, August 2nd, and even then it’s only just a glimpse. That’s a solid gap of over a week with nothing but poor conditions, so don’t get your hopes up for the next few days.
The pick of the bunch, and really the only thing worth mentioning, is Tabinha on the morning of Sunday, August 2nd. We’ve got a clean 5ft easterly swell pushing in with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 213, and with a cross-offshore breeze from the southeast at 16 mph, the surface should be clean. The water is sitting at 81°F, which is about average for this time of year. That said, the swell is short-period, so it won’t have that grunty groundswell feel, but it’s the most promising window we’ve got. Since Tabinha is a consistent spot with an exposed setup and the optimum swell direction is from the northeast, this easterly swell is a decent match. Crowds are possible here, so you might have some company. For a beginner, this 5ft swell is right on the edge, so be mindful.
After that morning session on the 2nd, it’s back to the same old story – cross-shore breezes and choppy, poor surf right through to the 7th of August. There’s a chance of a clean morning on the 7th with a cross-offshore wind, but the swell drops right back to 3ft with weak energy (61) and a short period of 5 seconds, so it’s not going to be anything special.
Keep your eyes on the longer-range charts, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
