The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight up about Tamaris. We're looking at a pretty flat and frustrating 16-day window. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year at 25°, which is a real standout, but unfortunately the surf just isn't backing it up.
The entire forecast period is dominated by tiny, weak, and often onshore or cross-off conditions. The combined swell energy is almost always in the single digits, the only real pulse of energy comes right at the end. From now, right through to the middle of the second week, there's nothing surfable. The best we get is tiny windswell.
If you're desperate for a paddle, the morning of the 15th of September sees the biggest swell on offer, but it’s still tiny. We’re looking at a 1ft swell coming from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds. Combined swell energy hits 27. This is a small, weak, short-period swell. The wind is a moderate cross-shore from the east, so it's going to be choppy. It’s a beach and reef setup, but with these conditions, it looks more like a day for a paddleboard than a surfboard.
The following morning on the 16th of September, the swell drops back dramatically, with a 1ft SE swell and the wind turning cross-off from the NNW, cleaning it up. But it’s so small, it’s barely rideable. The reality is we have a long, blank run. Nothing here gets a recommendation. It’s just one of those quiet spells for this area.
Rusty.

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