Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk shop.
Looking at the whole picture, it's a quiet stretch for Tabinha. The water's a pleasant 82°, right where it should be for this time of year, but the wave action is really lacking.
The action starts on Wednesday, July 8th with a pulse. We’ve got a 5ft east swell, but it's short period at 7 seconds, with a cross-off breeze. The surf is clean but has no real grunt. The combined energy is only moderate at 283, and the whole thing feels marginal. Not one to clear your schedule for.
From Wednesday afternoon onward, it gets rough. The swell slumps to between 3ft and 4ft, the period stays short at 6 to 7 seconds, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-off. The combined energy stays in the low 100s. Every single report from Wednesday afternoon up to Monday, July 20th is flagged as poor. It’s a long, flat, and choppy mess.
There's a tiny bump on Sunday, July 19th afternoon where the swell hits 5ft from the east with a 7 second period. The combined energy jumps to 183, still just moderate. But the wind is a cross-shore, and the forecast says it's poor. Chances are it'll be a lumpy, unsurfable mess.
For the experts who just need to paddle out, Wednesday, July 22nd morning is the cleanest option. We see a 4ft east swell with a cross-off wind, so it'll look clean. But with a combined energy of just 137, it's weak. It's not going to barrel. Since the swell is under 5ft, it's not big, but it's the best of a bad bunch.
Honestly, for paddle surfing, there’s no true standout. With the constant cross-shore winds and tiny, weak swell, this whole setup is more interesting for kite surfing. A blank run like this is pretty common here when the conditions align this way.
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.
