The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a grim picture for the whole 16-day window. There’s not a single moment where things line up for a decent paddle. The swell sticks around in the 4ft to 5ft range, mostly from the east-northeast or due east, but the period is short—just 6 or 7 seconds—so it’s all windswell, nothing with any real grunt. The wind is a constant issue, blowing cross or cross-onshore from the east and southeast at 12 to 19 mph, keeping the surface chopped up and messy. The combined energy (171 on the 1st) never climbs past moderate range, topping out at 264 on the 9th, but it’s paired with poor conditions every day.
Tabinha is the only break in the mix. It’s a consistent intermediate spot, exposed to whatever’s coming, but the direction is mostly east-northeast to east, and the optimum here is northeast, so it’s a little off. The first ten days are all “poor surf conditions,” and the same story continues right through September 16th. On the morning of the 10th, 11th, 12th, and 16th, we get a brief window of cross-offshore wind that cleans things up, with swell around 4ft to 5ft and energy between 165 and 239, but the period is still short and the overall setup just isn’t worth suiting up for.
There is no standout session. Nothing worth calling a highlight. If you’re desperate, the cleanest mornings—like the 10th or 12th—might offer a few weak, short-lined waves, but that’s about it. Crowds are listed as “sometimes,” which means when the wind eases, you might see a few locals out, but honestly, it’s more of a kite-surfing scene right now than a paddle-surfing one.
So there you have it. A solid 16 days of mostly nothing. But forecasts change, and it can’t stay poor forever. Keep ya eyes peeled.
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.
