The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up for us.
Straight up, this is a tough run. We're looking at a long, dry spell for any real surf. From now through to the end of September, we're talking flat city or tiny, un-rideable dribble. There's a prolonged gap with essentially zero recommendations, which is a real bummer for the area, but not unheard of when the swell windows just don't line up.
Things look slightly more interesting right at the very end of the period. On Monday, September 28th, we finally get a pulse of energy. The morning at Tamaris (reef) shows a 3ft swell from the ESE, and while the combined energy is a modest 101, the wind is light and cross-off from the NW, which will keep it clean. It's surfable, but it's very ordinary and nothing to get excited about. The swell period is a short 6 seconds, so it won't have much push or shape.
Other than that, there's nothing that stands out. A few mornings offer glassy conditions on September 21st and 22nd, but with no swell to work with, it's just a pretty view. The wind does go offshore at times, particularly on the morning of September 19th, but again, the swell is a pathetic 0.7ft.
So, the honest truth? There's no standout here. The best on offer, if you can even call it that, is the late-period bump on the 28th. Keep your expectations low. If you've got a kite, the afternoon of September 16th with 12 mph cross-shore wind and a little chop might be more interesting than a paddle, but for the rest of us? It's a waiting game.
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.
