The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and frustrating for the Tamaris reef. There’s a big gap of nothing much happening, so don’t get your hopes up too early.
We start off with a bit of a dud. Saturday the 1st of August has a tiny 0.7ft to 2ft swell from the WSW, with a short period of just 4 seconds. The wind is a cross-off, but the energy is pathetic (1). It’s poor surf, plain and simple. Sunday the 2nd teases us with glassy conditions on the morning but again, the swell is tiny (2ft) and weak (9). Monday and Tuesday are more of the same – small, weak, and honestly, not worth paddling out for.
The first real sign of life pops up on Saturday the 8th of August. The morning brings a 3ft swell from the SW with a 6-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 53. It’s still a light cross-on wind, but it’s at least a step up from the flatness. Still, I’d call it a marginal session for the keen.
Then on Sunday the 9th of August, the afternoon sees a spike to 5ft from the W with a 6-second period. The energy reads 134 – that’s moderate energy, finally. The wind is cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy, but there’s something to work with. Still, it’s not exactly a standout.
The best of the whole run comes on Saturday the 15th of August. The afternoon has a 4ft swell from the W with a 7-second period, and the energy hits 126. The wind is a clean cross-off from the WNW at 15 mph. That’ll set up some clean, rideable waves at the reef. It’s still not huge, but for this stretch, it’s the pick of the bunch. The water temp is about 75°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Overall, there’s a lot of flat days and very little to get excited about. The 9th and 15th of August are your best bets, but don’t expect a classic. Keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change.
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.
