Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Tabinha over the next couple of weeks.

First up, the water temperature is sitting at a pleasant 83°, about a touch warmer than we’d normally expect for this time of year, so that’s nice for the skin.

Now, the bad news is that for the entire sixteen-day run, there’s only one window that looks like it might be worth paddling out. From now through to the end of the period, we’re staring at a long, dry gap with mostly poor surf conditions and cross-shore winds messing up the face.

The only real standout lands on Sunday the 5th of July, in the morning. We’ve got a bump in swell to 5ft from the ENE, and the combined energy kicks up to 369 (moderate wave energy). The period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit fat and crumbly, but here’s the kicker—we’ve got light rain and a gentle breeze blowing cross-offshore from the SE at 15 km/h. That’ll keep the surface clean, which is a major positive. The break is consistent and exposed, handling swell from the ENE nicely, though the optimum swell direction is NE, so it’s a bit off-angle. It’s an intermediate-level wave, and since it’s consistent, you won’t be waiting around for long sets. Crowds can sometimes be an issue, so don’t expect total solitude.

After that morning session on Sunday, the surf drops back to poor again. The rest of the fortnight is plagued with short-period, weak energy, and a constant cross-shore breeze giving us a messy chop. The swell sizes hover around 3ft to 5ft, with combined energy values well under 200, and the wind state almost always cross or cross-off but still choppy. Not worth the wax.

So, for this stretch, if you can move your schedule around, that Sunday 5th of July morning is the only real chance at a decent paddle. Otherwise, it’s a quiet spell. Nature of the place sometimes.

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.
