The Lowdown
Right then, let’s be straight with you. The outlook for the next sixteen days around Tamaris is pretty grim. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves blown out by strong winds. There’s a real drought on, so don’t be holding your breath for anything decent.
Tamaris is a reef break, and it just doesn’t want to fire. The whole first week is a write-off, with no real swell to speak of. The water’s sitting at 76° which is 5° warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a weird one—spring feels like summer in the water—but it doesn’t make the surf any better. You’ll see a bit of a pulse on Wednesday the 9th, with a 2ft swell from the SSW, period around 5 seconds, and a north offshore wind that’ll clean it up. The combined energy is a measly (18). It’s small, but it’s the best we’ve got all week. Still, it’s not something to get excited about.
Then the models show a real gap from around the 10th through to the 13th, with nothing but strong cross-offshore winds and no waves. The swell tries to show its face again on Sunday the 13th with a 1ft from the W, but it’s got a period of just 6 seconds and the wind is howling at 25 mph from the NNW. It’s onshore, messy, and not worth the paddle.
The second week doesn’t get much better. A few ripples here and there, but nothing with any punch. The end of the forecast window, around the 19th and 20th of September, shows a tiny 1ft from the SW, but it’s short period and the wind is still cross-off. It’s clean, sure, but it’s just not surfable in any meaningful way.
Honestly, I don’t see a standout day in the entire run. The best you could hope for is that Wednesday morning, but even then, it’s beginner stuff. If you’re a kiter, the wind is there, but for the rest of us, put the board away. The forecasts can change, and it doesn’t stay this poor forever, but this is a proper flat spell for Tamaris. Hang in there.

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.
