The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Tamaris over the next 16 days.

Straight up, I’ve got to be honest with you – this is a tough stretch. The forecast window kicks off from Saturday, 15 August, and right through to the end of the month, we’re looking at a real struggle for any decent surf. The swell energy is weak, barely registering above single digits most days, and the wave heights are tiny – mostly around 0.7ft to 1ft. There’s just not enough push to get excited about.

The water temperature at Tamaris is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

The first week is pretty much a write-off. Saturday and Sunday mornings offer a bit of glassy or clean conditions with offshore or light winds, but with swell heights of 0.7ft and periods of 3 to 4 seconds, you’re not going to catch much. Monday morning on 17 August sees a little lift to 1ft from the SW, with a period of 4 seconds and clean conditions thanks to a cross-offshore NW wind at 19 mph, but the combined energy is still only 5 – weak. That’s as good as it gets for a while.

From Tuesday 18 August through to the end of the first week, it’s a mix of clean but tiny surf or choppy, onshore conditions. The swell never really gets above 2ft, and the periods are short, so no quality waves to speak of.

The second week doesn’t bring much relief. There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations. Around 22 August, there’s a 1.0ft SSE swell with a period of 7 seconds and clean conditions in the morning, but the energy is still only 9. By 29 August, Saturday afternoon, we see the biggest swell of the whole period – 2ft from the SE with a period of 3 seconds, and combined energy of 16. That’s still weak, and the period is very short, so it’ll be crumbly and weak.

For a standout, honestly, there’s nothing that truly shines. The best option, if you’re desperate, would be Monday morning 17 August or Sunday morning 30 August – both have clean conditions and a little bit of swell, but it’s really marginal. The reef at Tamaris is a fairly consistent spot, but this 16-day run is a blank one for the area. It’s a reef break, so when the swell does show, it can shape up, but the size and energy just aren’t there.

This is one of those stretches where the forecast can change, so don’t write it off completely, but for now, I’d keep the board in the car and wait for a better window.

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.
