The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s a flat spell. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch ahead. The surf’s basically a no-show for the first ten days or so. There’s a bit of a pulse stirring into the second week, but it’s nothing to get overly excited about just yet.
For the first week, from Tuesday the 28th of July right through to about Monday the 3rd of August, it’s all tiny, weak dribble. The swell is tiny, mostly under 1 ft from the SW, with periods that are short and weak. The combined energy is laughable, barely hitting 8 (weak) on the odd afternoon. It’s a long, flat run. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the mornings are the only chance, with some glassy conditions at Tamaris on Tuesday the 28th and Thursday the 30th, but the swell is barely 0.7 ft. It’s poor surf, full stop. Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird.
The flat spell continues through the rest of the first week and into the second. Sunday the 2nd of August morning shows a glimmer of hope with a glassy 2 ft swell from the SSW, but at 6 seconds it’s just a weak, wobbly wave. Not worth the drive.
The only real standout, and I’m saying this with a long-range pinch of salt, is Friday the 7th of August afternoon. We finally see some size. A clean 3 ft swell from the west, with a 6-second period, and the wind is a clean offshore from the WNW at 15 mph. The energy jumps to 61 (moderate). It’s not a classic groundswell, and the period is short, so it’ll be a bit soft and crumbly on the face, but it’s clean and surfable. For a reef setup like Tamaris, that clean offshore wind is a big deal. It’s a beginner-friendly size, so it’s a good session for getting a few. The only catch is that crowds are possible there, so you might have some company.
The spot is Tamaris (reef). It’s fairly consistent here, so this blank run is a bit of a bummer, but it’s not unusual for the area to have these quiet spells. The forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.
Stay frothy.

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.
