The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on the surf for Tabinha over the next couple of weeks.
It's a tough pill to swallow. The swell keeps showing up, but it never really gets its act together. We've got a long stretch of small, weak, wind-chewed surf and the ocean just won't glass off for long enough. The water's sittin' at 81°, which is a touch warmer than usual for the season, so at least it's not a cold wait.
The first shot at something comes Monday, September 7th, but it's tiny, just a 3ft east swell with a real short 5-second period. The wind is a moderate side-shore, keeps things bumpy, and the wave energy is weak (56). Don't bother paddling out expecting much. It's a 'floating around on a board' kind of day.
Tuesday, September 8th, is a different story, at least for the morning. The wind swings side-offshore and cleans things up a bit. We get a 5ft east swell. The wave energy bumps up to moderate (181). That Tuesday morning window is your one real shot. If you're gonna make a go of it, that's the session. By the afternoon, the wind goes back to a lumpy side-shore, so don't sleep in.
The rest of that first week and the start of the second is a real rinse-and-repeat situation. Sizes hang around 4ft to 5ft from the east-northeast, period stuck in that short 6 to 7 second range. The wind is relentless from the east and east-southeast, keeping a lumpy, bumpy texture on everything. The wave energy gets up to 243 on the 12th, but the cross-shore wind makes it a hassle, not a treat.
Heading into the third week, the swell actually starts to push a bit bigger. By Monday, September 21st, we've got 5ft to 5ft east swell with wave energy climbing to 310. Sounds good on paper, but the wind stays cross or cross-on, making the surface a messy, choppy mess. The break will be open, but you'll be workin' twice as hard for a bumpy ride.
So, what's the call? Tuesday, September 8th, morning session. That's the standout. It's the only time we get a clean window with respectable size. The rest is a long run of 'meh' – consistent in supply, but poor in quality.
Keep the head up.
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.
