The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and this is the word on the water for the next stretch.
The bottom line for Tamaris is a whole lot of nothing for a while. The water is running at a very unusual 79°F, much warmer than normal, but that's the only highlight. The swell energy is pathetic, with combined energy readings mostly in the single digits (7, 6, 2, 11, 5, etc.), and the swell heights are tiny, mostly between 0.7 ft and 2 ft. The swell periods are short, usually 4 to 5 seconds, so it's all sloppy windswell.
We're staring at a big dry spell until the 30th of July. From now through the 29th, every session is rated "poor surf conditions." The wind will be clean and offshore at times, but with no swell, the ocean is flat. The 30th of July Thursday morning is our first real chance, with a 3 ft SSE swell at 7 seconds and combined energy of 97. The wind is light offshore from the NNW, so it'll be clean. It's a "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" call, which is the best we've got in the whole forecast. The 30th afternoon gets a little bigger at 4 ft, but a cross-shore wind chops it up. The 31st has a strong offshore wind that makes paddling into the small waves a real chore. There's no standout session. For a beginner reef, these tiny, weak swells are a letdown. To be honest, with the constant small swell and clean breezes, this spot looks more like a kite session than a surf session right now.

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.
