The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a grim stretch ahead for Tabinha. I’ve looked over the whole 16-day run and I gotta tell ya, it’s not looking good for a paddle. Every single entry across the entire period is marked as poor surf conditions. There is no standout window, no hidden gem of a day. You’ve got a long, empty gap here with nothing worth recommending for the whole forecast.
All the swell we see is short-period windswell, mostly from the east and east-northeast, with periods hanging around 5 to 7 seconds. That’s weak, messy energy with no real push. The combined swell energy bounces around moderate numbers – between 70 and 225 – but it’s all short-period junk, so it’s not translating into anything rideable. The moderate breeze and fresh breeze winds stay onshore or cross-shore almost the entire time, with a few moments of cross-offshore wind on the 8th, 9th, and 18th of September. Even on those cleaner mornings, the wave height is sitting around 5ft to 5ft with that weak period, and the wave comment still says “poor surf conditions.” That tells you everything.
The key problem here is Tabinha is exposed to the east and east-northeast, but the wind is hammering from the same quarter, so you’ve got windswell and wind all mixed up together. No clean lines coming through. It’s mostly cross-chop and lumpy conditions. This setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the next two weeks.
For an intermediate break that’s consistent, it’s a real shame. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, but I wouldn’t worry about that now – nobody’s gonna be out in this.
Hang in there. It tends not to stay flat and messy forever around here, but this is a stubborn run. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, save your energy.
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.
