The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s just get straight to it. This is a tough stretch for Tamaris. The whole 16-day window is a ghost town for surf—there’s nothing that puts a smile on a surfer’s face. From Sunday, August 30th, right through to Monday, September 14th, we’re looking at a long, empty run with no real waves to speak of.
The first record kicks off on Sunday the 30th, but it’s a total write-off. You’ve got a tiny 2 ft swell from the SW, with a period of only 4 seconds—that’s windswill, not a wave you want to paddle for. The combined energy is just 10 (weak). The water is a touch warmer than normal at 75°F, about 3°F above average, but that’s little comfort when there’s nothing to ride. The wind is a cross-offshore from the NNW at 12 mph, which would keep it clean, but there’s simply no power in the water.
Moving through the days, it’s the same story. Monday the 31st has a 1.0 ft swell, Tuesday the 1st sees a 1 ft, and Wednesday the 2nd drops to 1.0 ft. All with periods of 3 to 4 seconds. The combined energy never gets above 10. The wind is often clean or offshore, but it doesn’t matter—these are barely ripples.
Thursday the 3rd afternoon goes glassy, and Friday the 4th morning has a light cross-off, but the swell is 0.7 ft or less. The energy is down to 1. You’d be waiting for a set that never comes.
The second week doesn’t bring any hope. From the 5th of September onward, the “summary swell height” is mostly a dash meaning no swell, or a 0.3 ft or 0.7 ft blip. The combined energy is either 0 or 1. The wind gets strong on the 5th and 12th—25 mph from the NNW—but that’s just blowing over a flat ocean.
The only slight eyebrow-raiser is Tuesday the 8th of September. Morning goes glassy with a 2 ft swell from the SSW, period 5 seconds, and the combined energy bumps up to 22 (still weak). It’s the best we’ve got, but it’s still poor surf conditions. The wind is calm, so it’s clean, but the swell is too small and short-period to form any decent wave at a reef break like Tamaris. The 14th of September afternoon shows a 3 ft swell from the WSW, period 6 seconds, energy 64 (moderate), but the wind is cross-onshore from the SE at 12 mph, making it choppy.
So, there’s no standout. No day worth paddling out. The forecast is consistent in its lack of surf. That’s just how it goes sometimes here. The blank run is normal for the area when the swell windows don’t line up. Forecasts can change, but for now, keep the board in the bag.
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.
