The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at Tamaris for the next couple weeks. I’m gonna be real with you – this is about as flat as it gets. No real standouts in the whole sixteen-day run, so keep your expectations low.
Starting Thursday, July 30th, the morning’s glassy but the swell’s a pathetic 0.3 ft from the SW with a 4-second period. Combined swell energy is a weak 1. The afternoon sees 1 ft with an onshore wind at 15 km/h – no good.
Friday the 31st is glassy again in the morning with 1 ft, 4-second period (energy 5), but still poor. Afternoon gets a light onshore breeze and energy bumps to 8 – still not worth it.
Saturday August 1st through the end of the first week: all tiny. Heights between 0.7 ft and 1 ft. A few mornings are glassy, like Sunday the 2nd (1 ft, energy 2) and Tuesday the 4th has a light offshore from the NNW (1 ft, energy 3) – but the swell’s got no push. You’re waiting a long time.
Second week, nothin’ changes. The biggest bump is Wednesday the 5th afternoon: 3 ft from the W at 5 seconds, combined energy 36. Wind is cross-shore at 12 mph, so it’s choppy. Still “poor surf conditions.” Nothin’ to get excited about.
Saturday August 8th morning has 3 ft from the S at 5 seconds, energy 64 – the highest in the whole forecast – but wind is 9 mph cross-onshore, so it’s bumpy.
After the 9th, it drops right off. From the 10th onward, we’ve got days with zero swell and strong winds up to 37 mph from the NNW on the 14th. Not a single decent wave.
Bottom line: Tamaris is a reef, good for beginners, but this 16-day stretch is a total dud. No standouts. Water temp info isn’t in the data, so I can’t say if it’s warm or cold. For now, leave the board at home. Forecasts can flip, though – it usually doesn’t stay this flat for long.
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.
Tamaris is 7 km (4 miles) from Lavera. If you plan a holiday in Cote d'Azur, look for hotels and other accommodation in Lavera. Lavera has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
