The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Tamarin Bay. The whole run is for you experienced surfers, as this spot is an advanced reef break, and it’s inconsistent, so it doesn’t just switch on for anyone.
The big story is the opening Monday. We’ve got a very long period 16-second groundswell out of the southwest, pushing in at 8ft to 8ft. The combined energy is massive at 2866 to 3098—that’s some serious power in the water. The wind is dead calm in the morning, going glassy, and then a light offshore in the afternoon. This is the standout. It’s clean, powerful, and for a break that’s often not working, this is a true gift. The water is sitting at 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s comfortable.
The rest of the week is solid too. Tuesday morning gets a bit lumpy with a cross-shore wind, but Tuesday afternoon cleans right up with a light cross-off breeze and a 5ft swell from the SSW. Wednesday is just as good with clean conditions all day and chest-high sets. The swell direction swings a bit more south-southwest, which is right in the sweet spot for this reef.
By Thursday the wind picks up, and the quality drops. Friday offers a brief return to clean conditions with 5ft swell, but it’s not the same power as Monday. The next window of interest comes around the 10th and 11th of August. The swell is back up to 5ft to 6ft from the SW with a 15-16 second period, and the wind is cross-offshore and clean. It’s still a moderate breeze, but the surf will be well-shaped and solid. Just keep in mind that this is over a week out, so treat it as promising but not locked in.
Be warned: this break is for advanced surfers only. At 8ft with that long period, it’s a serious session. The long period groundswell will make it barrel over the reef, but it’s also prone to long lulls between sets. For the rest of the run, the crowds are often here when it’s good, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.
Rusty.

Information about the Tamarin Bay Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Tamarin Bay provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tamarin Bay can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tamarin Bay 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 (Tamarin Bay) 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 Tamarin Bay 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.
