The Lowdown

Right, folks, Rusty here. Lookin’ at the charts for the next 16 days and honestly, it’s a tough watch. The forecast period starts now, and there’s a long, dry gap until anything even remotely worth paddling out for shows up.

We’re talking about Tamaris (reef break). The water is a scorching 77°, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year – a proper anomaly, that.

The first solid week is a write-off. From the 9th to the 20th, it’s a dead zone. We’re seeing tiny dribbles of swell with next to no energy, often less than 5 (combined energy). The wind is a mess – cross-off shore, strong breezes, and even a few glassy periods on the 16th, but with no swell to work with, it’s just a flat, pretty lake. That’s a lot of days with nothing on offer.

The first real glimpse of life comes on the 21st of September, Monday morning. We get a bump of swell from the SE at 4ft, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy finally climbs into the low hundreds (192). The wind is offshore from the NNW, which is a huge positive – it’ll clean the face right up. The call is “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – it’s not going to be pumping, but it’s a paddle. The swell direction is from the SE, which is a bit off from the optimum S direction for this spot, but when you’ve had nothing for a week, you take what you can get.

Later that Monday afternoon, the swell pushes a little bigger to 6ft from the SE, with energy hitting 201. Light offshore wind from the N will keep it clean. For a beginner, 6ft might be a bit of a handful, but for the average surfer, it’s doable.

The standout, if you can call it that, is Tuesday the 22nd of September. Morning session shows a solid 5ft SE swell, energy climbing to 291. The wind is fresh offshore from the NNW. This is the best combination of size and clean conditions in the whole window. The period is still short at 6 seconds, so it’s not groundswell, but it’s the most energy we’ll see. The afternoon cleans right up with glassy conditions and the swell dropping to a still-fun 4ft.

After that, it fades away again. The 24th of September, Thursday morning, has a little spike of 3ft SSE swell with a longer period of 8 seconds, and glassy conditions. Energy is back to 105. It’s a fleeting moment, but it’ll be clean.

Overall, the 21st through the 22nd is the only real window. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best of a bad bunch. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off for any decent waves. The longer-range stuff on the 24th is promising but much less certain.

Stay patient, or go for a kite session if you have one. The wind is strong enough.

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.

Tamaris is 7 km (4 miles) from Lavera. If you plan a holiday in Cote d'Azur, look for hotels and other accommodation in Lavera. Lavera has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
