The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks and, to be honest, it’s a pretty bleak outlook for Tamaris. We’ve got a long dry spell ahead. There’s no real surf on offer to start, and the advice I’m seeing is pretty consistent: poor surf conditions across the board for most of this period. You’re looking at a solid stretch where there’s basically nothing ridable.
The first hint of anything is on the 14th of August, which is over a week away. The Friday morning looks glassy, with a tiny 2ft swell from the west-southwest, period around 5 seconds – short, weak stuff. The energy is only at 19, so it’s barely a pulse. Still, with glassy conditions from the north, it’ll be clean, but you’ll be scratching for anything.
Now, the one standout that pops up is Sunday the 16th. By the afternoon, we finally see some size – 5ft from the west, with a slightly better period of 6 seconds and the combined energy climbing to 148 (moderate wave energy). That’s the biggest push we get. The wind is from the south-southeast at 9 mph, which is onshore, so it won’t be perfect, but it’s the only time in the whole 16-day run where the swell gets past ankle-snapping levels.
Overall, if you’re desperate, the 16th is your best shot, but keep expectations low. The water temp is reading 78°F, which is 5° warmer than normal – very unusual for this time of year. It’s a bit of a weird one.
Signing off, 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.
