The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what we’ve got for the next couple weeks. I won’t lie to you, it’s a grim stretch for Tabinha. We’re staring down a long run of poor surf conditions with no real standout sessions on the cards. The wind is the main culprit, sitting cross or cross-offshore most of the time, never getting that sweet, clean offshore flow. The swell is weak and short-period, so don’t expect any grunt or shape. The first real chance for a surf window comes around Wednesday morning, 26 August, but even then it’s marginal at best.
For Wednesday morning, 26 August, the swell bumps up to about 5ft from the ENE with a short period of 7 seconds, and the cross-offshore wind from the ESE at 16 mph will keep the surface reasonably clean. The combined energy is moderate at 226, but the wave comment says it’s only marginal due to questionable tide. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but that’s not saying much. After that, it’s more of the same: poor conditions, lumpy cross-chop, and weak energy. From the end of August right through to 7 September, there’s a gap of several days where the swell drops below 3ft and energy levels fall into the weak range (75 to 111). The wind stays stubbornly cross, and the period never gets above 7 seconds. This stretch is essentially flat or close to it. On 8 September, we see a slight lift back to 4ft to 5ft from the ENE with moderate energy (185 to 190), but the wind is still cross and the period is still short. The water temperature is 81°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze while you’re sitting there staring at a bumpy, gutless ocean.
Honestly, if you’re itching for a paddle, Wednesday morning, 26 August, is your only real shot, and even that’s a maybe. For the rest of it, you’re better off waiting for a change in the forecast. This isn’t a stretch to get excited about. 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.
