The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about the next couple of weeks around Tamarin Bay.
It’s been a pretty quiet start, with only small, messy lines from the 2nd through the 4th. Nothing worth paddling out for. The good news is, that clears out by the weekend.
Saturday the 5th is when things start to turn. It’ll be a touch warmer than normal in the water (76°F), with a clean 6ft SSW groundswell rolling in. The period is a solid 14 seconds, which means long lines with plenty of push. The energy reading is strong (1142), and with a light breeze, it’s going to be glassy. This is a reef break though, and it’s inconsistent, and for advanced surfers only. Sunday the 6th keeps the quality up with 4ft SW swell and clean conditions – a great weekend all round.
Now, Monday the 7th looks like a standout. There's a solid 7ft SSW groundswell climbing to 8ft in the afternoon, period stretched to 15 seconds, and proper offshore wind. That's pure power (2938 combined energy) and will be offering some serious, clean waves. This is expert territory though; with size that big on a reef, you need to know what you’re doing. It often gets crowded here, so get in early.
The swell keeps pumping into Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th, but the wind swings cross-off and kicks up to 18-22 mph. The waves will be huge (12ft), but that wind will make things challenging. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. By Thursday the 10th, the swell drops but the wind stays fresh, so conditions remain marginal.
Into the second week, there's another pulse. Tuesday the 15th sees a 6ft SSW swell with decent energy (1140), but wind is still up. Then Wednesday the 16th looks to be the last real highlight: an 12ft SSW groundswell from a 16-second period delivering massive energy (5205). It's another one for the experts only, and with strong cross-off winds, it'll be raw and powerful. Crowds are often a factor at this spot, so expect plenty of company if you're game.
So, to put it simply: the first week, especially Saturday 5th through Monday 7th, is your best bet for clean surf. The second week has size, but comes with a lot more wind. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it’s a long way out.
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.
