Tamaris Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and bleak for Tamaris. We've got a long stretch of nothing on the horizon, so don't be getting your hopes up for any proper rides just yet.

The only spot with any real potential is Tamaris, a reef break that needs a solid south swell to get going. The water is sitting at 76°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. It’s a nice thought, but it won't help the waves.

We’re looking at a big gap here. From now until around the 9th, there’s just nothing on the cards. The swell is essentially non-existent, with weak energy readings (0 to 7). We might see a tiny pulse on Tuesday afternoon, but at 1ft with a 2-second period, it's not even a ripple.

The first real hope comes on Wednesday the 9th. A fresh N wind will be blowing offshore, and we could see a small bump of 1ft from the SW with a 5-second period. The energy is still weak (7), and it’s going to be marginal at best. This is not the day to call in sick for.

Thursday the 10th is where things get slightly more interesting. The swell builds a touch to 2ft from the W, with a 6-second period. The cross-off winds from the WNW are clean, and the energy ticks up to 36. It’s still small, but it could be rideable for a log or a fish. This is likely the best of a very poor bunch.

After that, it's back to the flatness. We go through another long gap with nothing but tiny, weak pulses and clean but empty conditions until around the 17th. Even then, we're talking about 0.3ft, which is nothing.

Honestly, for the next two weeks, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, especially with some of those fresh SE winds late in the period. For us surfers, it's a waiting game. Keep an eye on things, but don't expect much. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a poor run.

Stay tuned.

Rusty.
