The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. For the next ten days or so, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and the surf just isn't happening. From the 21st of August right through to the 31st, every single recommendation is a zero. The waves are flat, or the wind is howling onshore, or both. It’s a long, frustrating gap for anyone hankering for a paddle.
The only glimmer of hope comes right at the start of September. On the morning of the 1st of September, we finally see some energy. The swell at Tamaris jumps to 6 ft from the SSE, with a moderate combined energy of 217. The wind is blowing from the NW, which is cross-offshore, leaving the faces clean. The swell period is only 6 seconds though, so it’s short-period wind swell, not the kind of groundswell that gives you a proper wall. Still, it’s the only real surf in the whole window. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so nothing weird there.
That Tuesday morning is the standout. The size is solid, but at 6 ft it’s getting into the territory where beginners might want to sit it out. The wind stays clean through the day, but the afternoon swell drops to 4 ft with the energy halving to 141. It’s a one-hit wonder, so make the most of that morning session.
The rest of the first week of September fades back into flatness and strong offshore winds. The wind is clean, but the waves are gone. It’s a frustrating forecast, but when it’s this flat, things can only change for the better.
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.
