The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk shop for Tamaris (reef break). Over the next 16 days, the surf window is pretty much closed – it's a long, flat spell with very little to get excited about.
Right off the bat on Tuesday the 25th of August, we’ve got weak little waves around 3 feet but with a short 5-second period and cross winds that chop things up. The energy reading is low at 74 – there's not much to ride. That bump on Thursday the 27th of August brings a 3 foot SE swell, but the period stays short at 6 seconds and winds clock 25 mph from the southeast on Thursday afternoon with an onshore chop that ruins it. Combined energy hits 125 (moderate) but it’s messy.
From Friday the 28th onward and into the first week of September, the swell collapses. Endless morning forecasts show clean water but with barely a ripple. Most days the swell height is zero or just a fraction of a foot. The biggest bit is 0.7 feet on the 30th of August with a 5-second period and about 24 in wave energy – that’s not even knee-high and gutless.
The second week is no better. From the 1st of September through the 9th, the vast majority of the entries are flat – no swell height recorded. You get a few tiny pulses like 0.3 feet on the 5th of September with a 5-second period, but that’s it. Winds are mostly offshore and clean, but without swell, clean doesn’t mean surfable.
There isn’t a single standout session in this whole run. No power, no long-period groundswell, no window of quality – and the water temp anomaly isn’t provided so it's safe to say it’s seasonable. Tamaris just isn't offering anything for a surfer right now. For kite surfing, maybe, if the breeze picks up – but for paddle surfing, you’re better off waiting for the next system.

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.
