The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've got a straight-up report for ya. Let's get into it.
Alright, I'm gonna level with ya – the outlook for Tabinha over the next 16 days is a tough one. There's a massive gap at the start with no surf worth paddling out for. We're looking at a whole lot of nothing from Friday the 24th of July right through to Saturday the 1st of August. That's a solid week of poor conditions. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and it's just not happening. The water's sitting at a warm 81°F with an anomaly of 1°F, which is pretty average for this time of year – no surprises there.
The first real sniff of something better comes on Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning session is the pick. The wind is blowing clean from the southeast at 12 mph, giving us a nice cross-offshore breeze. The swell is a modest 4 ft from the east, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here is sitting at 181 (moderate wave energy). It's not huge, but it's the best we've seen. The break is consistent and exposed, and while the set waves might be a bit short-period, it's clean. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so don't expect to have it to yourself.
After that, there's a bit of a pattern. Monday the 3rd of August morning is also clean with a similar 4 ft east swell, and Wednesday the 5th of August morning looks clean again with a 4 ft swell. The week of the 5th to the 8th keeps offering up these 4 ft to 4 ft east swells, mostly with a clean cross-offshore wind in the mornings. The energy stays in the moderate range, peaking around 150-158. The periods are short, though, never cracking 8 seconds, so don't expect any real grunt or long walls. It's more of a fun, choppy beach break kind of vibe.
Overall, the standout is Sunday the 2nd of August morning. It's the first real clean window with the most energy. The swell direction is from the east, but the optimum swell direction for Tabinha is from the northeast, so it's a bit off-angle, but the clean conditions make up for it. It's a consistent, exposed spot, so it'll pick up whatever is out there. If you're an intermediate surfer, this is your window. The rest of the week is okay, but nothing to write home about.

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.
