The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. I ain't gonna sugarcoat it – the next 16 days at Tamaris are a total dud for surfing. There's nothing on the horizon that's worth getting wet for.
From August 28th all the way to September 12th, the surf is basically flat. The closest thing to a wave shows up on Friday the 28th in the afternoon – a weak 3ft swell from the WSW, but with a short 6-second period and a cross-on wind. It’s just poor, choppy junk. The energy reading is a measly 109, which is barely a ripple.
After that, it’s even worse. Swell heights drop to under 2ft for days on end, with periods that never break 6 seconds. That’s just wind-generated slop. We get some clean, offshore mornings, like the 4th and the 6th of September, but there’s no swell to go with it. Glassy and flat is just a day for a boat ride.
For a spot like Tamaris – a fairly consistent reef that’s open to the south – this is a long, unusual dry spell. The water is around 74°, which is normal for the season. But with wave energy never breaking 100 after the first day, there is simply no surfable wave. It’s a total blank.
Don’t waste the wax. Forecasts can flip, but right now, this is as flat as it gets.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
