The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s cooking at Tamaris over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the charts are looking pretty grim. The start of the week is a total bust. From Monday the 20th right through the 24th of July, there’s nothing to surf. The water is warm, about 81°F, which is far warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s great for a dip, but terrible for waves.
We finally see a little pulse on Saturday the 25th of July. It’s a weak SE windswell, with a tiny 2ft to 3ft and a short period of 4 seconds. The energy is next to nothing, and the cross-onshore wind from the SSE will make it choppy. Not worth getting wet for.
The only real highlight, and I mean the only one, is Sunday the 26th of July. A solid west swell pushes through, with wave heights around 7ft in the morning, dropping to 6ft by the afternoon. The period is 7 seconds, so it’s a short-period wind swell, but the wave energy is moderate. The wind is from the WNW, blowing cross-offshore, which will keep the surface clean. That’s a good look for a reef break like Tamaris. However, at 7ft, it’s for experts only. Beginners should stay on the beach. Crowds are only sometimes a problem here, so you might get a few waves to yourself.
After that, the surf flatlines again. The 27th and 28th of July are flat or tiny, with a few 0.3ft to 0.7ft bumps that aren’t worth a mention. The first week of August looks just as empty, with small, inconsistent, and onshore slop from the 2nd through the 4th. There’s a brief moment of glassy conditions on the 31st of July and 1st of August, but the swell is barely a ripple.
So, the bottom line: your only real shot is Sunday the 26th of July. It’s a clean, moderately powerful west swell, but it’s for experienced surfers. The rest of the 16 days is a long, flat stretch. It’s a tough one, but that’s how it goes sometimes.
Stay salty,
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.
